Need consistent, high-quality marketing content without the hassle of creating it yourself?
Want to ensure your brand looks professional across all channels? 
Don’t have time to communicate effectively with your audience?

…That’s where I come in.

With over 20 years of marketing experience both agency and client-side across B2B and B2C sectors,

I bring professional marketing expertise directly to your business—without the full-time hire commitment.

THIS IS ME...

Hey, I’m Sam, a Marketing Specialist supporting solopreneurs, consultants, small businesses, and marketing agencies.

The people I work with have no shortage of plans and ideas to execute, but they often feel overwhelmed when they don’t have the time, specialised marketing knowledge, or creative capacity to implement them. This hinders business growth and limits their potential for success.

I help businesses thrive by taking ownership of their marketing tasks – whether that’s crafting engaging newsletters that people actually read, creating blog content that educates and inspires, designing on-brand graphics, or developing strategic content plans for social channels.

I handle the marketing you need but don’t have time to do yourself.

As a result, my clients can focus on what they do best—the work they started their business to do. They gain space to think strategically, prioritise growth, and plan for the future. They feel confident knowing their marketing is handled professionally and consistently, maintaining brand integrity while connecting with their audience.

My approach is built on…

  • Creating high-quality content that maintains your brand voice
  • Understanding your business goals and target audience
  • Delivering consistent, reliable support that adapts to your needs
  • Bringing creativity and strategic thinking to every project
Sam Platten Virtual Assistant

With my background spanning marketing, PR, content creation, and design, I provide versatile support that elevates your brand while giving you back your time.

My Working Style

I’m a strong believer in transparent collaboration and sustainable working practices. I’m available for focused project work during term time, while intentionally scaling back during school holidays. This approach ensures you receive my best work while respecting work-life balance—something my ideal clients find refreshingly aligned with their own values.

When you bring me on as your marketing support, you’ll have someone watching your back and cheering you on. Someone who knows your success is their success.

WhAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH

Choose the right support for you. And if you don’t see it listed – just ask, I can probably help, but if I can’t I’m sure I’ll know someone who can!

testimonials

I have worked with Sam for over four years now - she is my main support on social media content creation for clients. I would not be able to run my business without her input! She has a fabulous creative eye when it comes to design, top notch copy-writing skills and outstanding attention to detail, which is important in the world of legal. She also has a strong marketing background, so never operates in a silo, but is always thinking bigger picture and coming up with ideas. I could rave about her work all day and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for quality support. She is also a wonderful, thoughtful human being who REALLY cares.
Helen BurnessLegal Marketing Specialist, Saltmarsh Marketing
From the moment Sam became my VA my previous fears of affordability and return on investment were immediately put to rest. She has added value beyond my wildest hopes which has freed up my time to focus on creating opportunities, building relationships, strategising, innovating and be much more client facing. This has brought in more clients to the business.So what? So by getting Sam on board she has more than paid for herself and is now a very valuable member of Selfless Leadership Group.My highest recommendation.
Paul KinkaidFounder, Selfless Leadership
Working with Sam is a real pleasure. She's creative, fun, hard-working and ultra-professional. My day-to-day activities that she helped to support meant I could concentrate on my clients. Sam is very conscientious and instantly gives 100% to every task. She's a super asset to anyone needing a VA
Barbara Cox-LovesyDirector, BC Nutrition
There may be plenty of VAs out there but Sam offers something completely different. Not only does she get the job done, but she goes over and above to ensure that she always delivers far more than I'm expecting.From our first call, she understood my business (and me) and I had complete faith in her abilities.I know whatever she's working on will be completed on time and to an exceptionally high standard.Sam's not your typical VA. She's also a very switched on businesswoman who's great for bouncing ideas around with if you need an external viewpoint. I love the fact that she'll often challenge me and come up with alternative solutions to the projects I send her way.
Anne-Marie FastMarketing Coach
Sam is a good all-rounder who cares about doing a great job. She has provided us with excellent support for proofing and sense checking a range of documents as well as supporting research and marketing activities. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for dependable PA or passionate project support.
Niall CluleyManaging Director, Dragonfish UK
I have worked with Sam on several projects and have always been impressed with her ability to deliver. Yes, it says all this 'on the tin' - but to project manage as well as coming up with creative ideas, all on a budget and not to mention the dreaded 'deadlines' word - but it always comes together and never feels pressured. Well, that's a skill.
Richard MackFounder and Managing Director, RT Promotions
Sam and I have very similar outlooks - we want to make people's working life better, which is why we get on so well. The great bonus for me is that Sam enjoys and is good at everything that I'm not, so we make a great team. Sam is organised, planned, open, honest and transparent, she is also brilliant at providing those gentle nudges that I so badly need. My perfect work partner and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Debbie GreenwoodManaging Director, Liaise Ltd
Sam worked with me for several years in a busy PR agency. She was a great team player and importantly she is reliable, honest and diligent with it.Sam delivered great results for us then and she’s still doing it for others now. What is unlikely to have changed since then is her attitude to work - unfailingly conscientious, always pleasant and a very supportive and versatile team player, always keen to achieve goals for the greater good.
Susannah WrightPR & Marketing Consultant, Wrightlines PR
A breath of fresh air when you need assistance to quickly tackle and convert or manage projects of all sizes. With a diverse range of skills and experiences, Sam quickly understands the brief(s) and can quickly not only make immediate progress but also lends her knowledge to guide the process efficiently, thoroughly and ensure its absolute quality.I have to admit I was a little tentative to outsource such important and profit sensitive work but I’ve been proved entirely wrong, although I do believe this virtual assistant might be quite unique.An asset to entrepreneurs and small teams in all fields - thanks Sam 👌
Luke StuartManaging Director & Founder, WhitePepper Cookery School
I have worked with Sam for almost three years and found her support, diligence, tenacity invaluable to both routine management of the Company's HR as well as the Finance team generally. Sam brings a sense of order and technical knowledge that I would recommend to anyone.
Kevin AthersuchFounder and Director, eFDe Consulting Limited
Sam provided an excellent service in reviewing key documentation for a global project, working at pace and with accuracy. Feedback and amendments were managed effectively given the tight deadlines. Great to have you on board!
Ryan TrowbridgeConsultant, Dragonfish UK
Sam provided me with excellent support across a variety of projects, from research to sense checking and proofing documents. I found Sam to be proactive and conscientiousness. I would recommend Sam to anyone who is looking for a flexible, well-rounded assistant.
Shalen SuchakCulture Change Consutlant, Dragonfish Uk
I am working with Sam on an Ad-Hoc basis, for proofreading and Press Release help. I find her to be extremely helpful, understanding and a lovely person. She goes above and beyond to get your work right and is very diligent. I would recommend Sam to anyone looking to work with a great VA.
Bryony ParkerRural Business Consultant
Sam is honest, trustworthy and has organisation down to a fine art. Above all, she cares a lot about the work she does. She is a perfectionist and will go above and beyond to get things done to the best standard possible. I've worked with Sam in a couple of roles now and the level of support she gave me knew no limits. When I was feeling overwhelmed, Sam made me feel sane again. Yes she organised my diary, took care of my expenses, understood my day to day needs, and prioritised my workload etc, But more than that, she was a great sounding board, a very, very good listener, who understood instinctively what was important to me both personally and professionally. If you're looking for someone who has your back, wants to understand your definition of success and will work diligently alongside you to get there, Sam is your lady and you'll be very lucky to have her on your team.
