Sam Coates
Co-Founder // Executive Director of Production & Creative Development
I was born in Memphis, TN but raised in the small town of Mediapolis, Iowa, which taught me the value of hard work and community. After graduating from the University of Iowa with a degree in Marketing Management, I moved to Nashville and co-founded Drifters Media, a digital media company focused on helping businesses grow through creative, high-quality video content. I'm passionate about the work I do, and I love collaborating with clients to tell their stories in ways that truly connect with their audience. Every project is an opportunity to push boundaries and create something that not only drives results but also resonates on a deeper level.
Producing high quality content, providing detail oriented marketing strategy, and bringing the best out of our clients is what we do.
Approaching each day with such a consistent mission makes us the perfect team to showcase what makes your brand so remarkable.
THE TEAM
Kyle Barnes
Co-Founder // Executive Director of Operations & Marketing Strategy
My path to marketing, content creation, and entrepreneurship was a unique one. I studied nursing at the University of Iowa, and graduated with a BSN in May 2022. Some unique doors had presented themselves in the time leading up to graduation, and I decided it would be worth walking through them, and seeing where they led.
Fast forward 2-and-a-half years later, and Drifters Media is a full-service digital marketing and media agency. With a diverse background in work and life experiences, I have come to value persistence and adaptability above all else.
I am passionate about creating one-of-a-kind marketing strategies, designed to empower any business with the power of the internet. Our world is only becoming more digital, and having an organized online presence is not only imperative, but it can be the ultimate equalizer in hypercompetitive markets.
