Meet Sam Church, a member of our Develomark cohort, sharing what he’s learned so far—from understanding the difference between commodity work vs. real marketing value, to getting hands-on experience building client websites and communicating like a true part of the agency.

In this video, Sam talks about:

Why value-first thinking matters for client results

Asking the right questions to uncover a client’s business goals

Building sites using dynamic pages + Airtable data

How much communication it takes to do great work as a team

Presenting website decisions with confidence (using real data, including insights from Splash Dash)

A highlight project: weaving Handyman Express’ Ukrainian heritage into the brand’s website experience

What’s next: Sam and the cohort are moving into creative ads—developing ad concepts and pitching them to clients.
