Jeff Ives
CEO, iON Contracts
★★★★★
“Samantha Paperin came into ClinicMind as a Fractional CMO and did something most marketing leaders struggle to do even full-time: she brought strategic clarity, operational structure, and measurable results — all at once. One insight stands out: Samantha identified newsletters as a high-impact channel for retention and upsell at a time when we weren't treating them as a serious lever. She was right, and that channel continues to deliver. Any company bringing Samantha on as a senior marketing leader will get someone who can think at the board level and still make sure execution doesn't fall through the cracks.”
Yuval Lirov, PhD
Founder & CEO, ClinicMind
★★★★★
“Samantha is able to do a lot and create a lot of visibility with a limited budget. Instead of listing all of the things that could be done, Samantha suggests projects based on what will have the biggest impact.

Samantha is reliable, delivers creative, insightful marketing campaigns, and is in general a pleasure to work with.”

Samantha is a valued team member and an exceptional talent.”
