It was 2016 when Samantha Mitchell took the initiative to plan her first events under the moniker SamanthaStarr Events. At the time, the public relations and marketing graduate was working full time for a local nonprofit and pursuing her passion for events planning on the side. Six years later, Mitchell is taking an entrepreneurial leap and leaving the comfort of her day job to pursue her events company full time.
We sat down with Mitchell to chat about her entrepreneurial journey, the wins and losses she’s experienced along the way and the specific skills that have helped her to pay the bills. Along the way, she shares insights into the events she’s created, from MKE Fest to Battle of the Chefs, the little details that have made her business a success and the grand plans she has for the future.
