Sam created the position line"HOME LIFE STYLE" and to support it... an online publication called: KLAFFStyle


The initiative was a combination of inbound, outbound & content marketing supported with digital & traditional communications that generated unprecedented results


He and his team integrated the marketing to maximize the publication's engagement and SEO.


The product catalog was hyperlinked throughout the publication's content. This was done for the store's five different departments. Here is an abridged example for KLAFFS Kitchens...

The company did not have 'appetizing' food photography...

until Sam did an extensive food photo shoot for them

Ask Sam about his work in PLAY...

And the cultural transformation he did to increase Hasbro's bottomline.

Toy & game advertising was mostly all traditional television. Hundreds of thousands of feet of film (and many wonderful stories).


Sam convinced the client to do a print ad on the back of DC Comics.


Easter Egg: This print ad can be found in

"Stranger Things" Season 3 Episode 5

Working with world-renowned futurist Watts Wacker, Sam was essential in the cultural transformation of Hasbro, Inc. Sam helped this extraordinary toy and game company understand that they are actually a PLAY company. This led to the repositioning of their mission: Creating the World’s Best Play and Entertainment Experiences. Making the World A Better Place For All Children, Fans, and Families… Which led to their growth: 2007 $3.4B… in 2016 $5.0B – and in 2022 $11.7B… and those numbers keep increasing. https://corporate.hasbro.com

Seeing the trend toward local live-entertainment, Sam created & facilitated the extremely successful marketing initiative for Fairfield Theatre Company (FTC), a live music venue. The metrics for success: $2 a-ticket goes to the town. Before Sam’s initiative… less then $2k went to the town. Sam’s first year of implementation, the town received over $22k. Today, using Sam’s foundation, FTC generates an annual average of $4.5 million. His initiative was also the catalyst for the resurgence and growth of downtown Fairfield, Connecticut. https://fairfieldtheatre.org/
