What's your story?

Every brand, product and person has a story. It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to sell or say. The magic is in the storytelling.

We lean into a good story.

As humans, we want to make meaning. We want you to tell us why we should care about what you’re offering. Whether you’re talking about your brand, your product, or your history, there’s always a story just waiting to be told.

Choose your words wisely.

Anyone can write, right? Actually, experience matters. When it comes to telling your story, I’ll put my expertise to work for you to uncover and shape your story.

Let’s tell your story.

Hi. I'm Sam, and I'm a storyteller.

Samantha Chagollan with her books

Here’s a bit of my own story. I was that kid who maxed out her library card and told tall tales to anyone who would listen. I love a great story, and I’ve been telling them my whole life.  I’m proud to craft strategic, memorable content that grabs attention and inspires action.

I have a passion for creativity, and more than 15 years of experience as a professional writer and editor.

Once upon a time, I was a corporate communications manager, a book editor, and a marketing manager. (Not all at the same time, I promise.)
I learned something important from each of those jobs.

After a dozen years in the corporate world, I started my own new chapter by founding Purple Ink Creative in 2015.

As a consultant, I’ve had the honor of collaborating with clients in a variety of industries, from retail, food, and wellness to financial services and commercial real estate.

It’s the best job I could have ever imagined, because I get to tell so many different types of stories. I love helping to crack a complex issue, collaborating on creative projects, and even just bringing some fresh new ideas to the table.
