About

Business enquiries - sam@sambentley.co.uk I make content about sustainable developments, ethical consumption and regenerative living across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. With a following of 3 million+ people, I hope to use my platforms to help inspire positive change and create a better planet. instagram.com/sambentley tiktok.com/@sambentley I co-founded UNILAD, and with the help of an incredibly talented team, grew a small Facebook page from my bedroom in Birmingham, into one of the biggest social media companies in the world with over 60 million fans and over 1 billion video views every month. Over the course of 6 years, UNILAD grew to over 200 staff with offices in Manchester and London and a team in New York, all with no investment. I was awarded a place on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2017. In that time, we pioneered social media strategy, breaking records for being the most viewed social media publisher of all time, with over 4.5 billion video views one month, and we were consistently the most popular publisher across social media every year. Moving on from UNILAD, I turned my focus and knowledge of social media to creating content around sustainability, ethical consumption and advocacy, to ensure I am playing my part to create a safe future for future generations.
