With 25 years of experience, which includes covering corporate news in the United States and across Asia combined with public relations experience at Samsung Telecommunications America and two global agencies, Pantin will play a strategic role at the firm, focusing on managing and growing its clients and team.
Pantin’s exposure to a wide range of industries, companies and cultures will place her in a pivotal role to contribute to the agency’s expansion.

Previously, Pantin headed Samsung’s product PR team for the B2C and B2B markets, leading global product launches for the company’s flagship Galaxy and Note smartphones. Her agency experience included media and communications training for C-suite executives, crisis communications, media and investor relations, content creation and executive branding. She has managed large newsrooms across regions, in addition to being a polished public speaker who has moderated client events involving Heads of States, reported live on business broadcast programs, and run workshops for non-profit and academic institutions on personal branding and communications.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Uproar at this critical time of its growth, and to have an opportunity to help lead and foster client and team success,” said Pantin. “I bring a journalist’s eyes, ears and mind coupled with a communicator’s understanding of what businesses need to tell their story.”
