SAMA Labs provided marketing services for a coffee creamer company. The team managed the client's paid media campaigns on Google and Meta, created ad copies, and designed static ad creatives.
SAMA Labs failed to deliver the project as expected. The team did not provide any project management, follow-up, reporting, or strategy. Moreover, the client found the work full of errors, which the team blamed on glitches. Overall, the client was dissatisfied with the engagement.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
There was none, worst ever!
What was your primary form of communication with SAMA Labs?
- Virtual Meeting
- Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Everything you would hire an agency for, they do not do. No project management. No follow up. No reporting. No strategy. They call themselves funnel experts and never built us a funnel. The work that did come was full of errors, every time. I was proofreading the agency I was paying. If I missed something, it shipped broken. And nothing was ever their fault. Every mistake was called a glitch, from the account team all the way up to the founder. Nobody there takes responsibility for anything. After we fired them we found out how much of their work was wrong underneath. We are still cleaning it up. Do not hire this company.
Are there any areas for improvement or something SAMA Labs could have done differently?
They should get out of the Marketing business.
