Sam Gorodetzer is a jack-of-all-trades in Ceisler Media’s Philadelphia office, assisting senior team members in wide-ranging tasks.
Sam has established himself as a go-to team member when there is social media copy that needs drafting. Sam’s strong writing skills are shown in his work drafting, editing, and reviewing communications plans, press releases, and content for clients large and small. He is a pro at research, serves as one of our intern managers, and can always be counted on to contribute out-of-the-box solutions to any problems that our clients may face.
Sam started at Ceisler Media as an intern in 2019 and became a permanent part of the team in 2020. In 2018, Sam worked as a marketing and public relations intern at the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, where he wrote for the Federation newsletter and helped create the “Jewish Philly Podcast.”

Sam served as manager of Penn State’s men’s lacrosse team during his four years at school (and has a Big 10 Championship ring to prove it), and worked as a youth lacrosse coach throughout high school. Sam also volunteers at the Jewish Relief Agency, which delivers food to low-income Russian and Ukrainian immigrants in Northeast Philadelphia.
Sam is a fan of fantasy literature. He is quick to mention that he has read all seven volumes and 3,500 pages of the Harry Potter series in the span of six days. How very Ravenclaw of him.
