Today we’d like to introduce you to Sam Saadat.
Hi Sam, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
When I graduated with my BBA and Computer Science diploma, I was full of ambition but quickly realized how tough it was to break into the professional world. Finding a job was a hassle—I tried different firms but had no luck, because I didn’t yet have the necessary skills employers were looking for.
That changed when I landed my first job in marketing. Not only was I super excited, but I also promised myself that I would learn relentlessly to become the best in the field. I dove headfirst into digital marketing back in 2010, a time when the landscape was very different. User behaviors were simpler, and decisions were more straightforward compared to today’s “messy middle,” where consumers zigzag through endless options, reviews, and influences before buying.
My hunger to grow pushed me further. I pursued my Master of Technology at Simon Fraser University while building my career. Over time, I had the privilege of working with prestigious brands like BMW and Lamborghini, serving in roles from Specialist to Marketing Strategist to Marketing Manager. Those roles taught me the value of customer experience—because in marketing, it’s not just about selling a product, but about building lasting relationships and ensuring that every customer touchpoint reflects the brand’s promise.
However, I noticed a persistent problem when working with agencies. Many didn’t truly understand the core of the businesses they were serving. Strategies often felt off-target, and worse, agencies rarely reviewed and simplified data in ways that helped companies make smarter decisions. This disconnect inspired me to launch my first agency—to bridge that gap with strategies rooted in both data and business reality.
After gaining experience and refining my approach, I founded Marketing Planet, a white-glove growth agency built on data, AI, and the latest market trends. At Marketing Planet, we don’t just run campaigns—we ensure that every dollar our clients spend generates measurable, compounding returns.
And it works. Our clients see 400–500% ROI within their first year. Our dropout rate is minimal, and most of the companies we’ve partnered with have stayed with us since day one. In the rare cases where clients paused, it wasn’t dissatisfaction—it was because the business coaching I provided revealed deeper operational issues they wanted to fix before scaling their marketing efforts.
The results have been remarkable. In our first year, Marketing Planet grew by 300%. In the second year, by 400%. Now, heading into our third year, we’re forecasting another 400% growth.
Today, Marketing Planet is powered by a team of 35 global talents (soon to be 40) and supported by 12 expert contractors as needed. Together, we’re not just running an agency—we’re building a movement. At Marketing Planet, growth isn’t just a promise. It’s the outcome we deliver.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Of course, building a fast-growing agency didn’t come without its struggles. Each stage of growth brought new lessons, and overcoming them has shaped who we are at Marketing Planet today.
1. Business Processes
From day one, I realized that one of the hardest parts was finalizing processes—both on the customer side and internally. To solve this, I began developing structured workflows across departments, ranging from detailed onboarding questionnaires to team checklists before delivering a task. These systems brought consistency and quality control, which became essential as we scaled quickly.
2. Talent
The second challenge was finding the right people. Over the years, I’ve conducted more than 1,000 interviews—first as a Marketing Manager or VP of Marketing for different firms, and now as CEO of Marketing Planet. What I learned is that talent isn’t just about hiring—it’s about keeping the best people engaged and aligned with the vision. Today, I’m proud to say we’ve built a world-class team that collaborates seamlessly and delivers results.
3. Data
The third, ongoing challenge is data. First-party data has become increasingly critical, yet the way businesses collect, manage, and utilize it has changed dramatically. To meet this challenge, we’re developing our own all-in-one platform—a product that gives businesses a single source of truth to see, understand, and act on their data. This innovation is designed to empower better decision-making and long-term growth.
4. Learning
Finally, the fourth challenge is constant learning. In marketing, standing still means falling behind. Our team has to stay up to date on new trends in marketing, AI, consumer behavior, and beyond. This commitment to continuous learning is what ensures we not only adapt to change but also anticipate it for our clients.
