Blake Premer
Marketing Communications Manager, SmartThings
My name Is Blake Premer & I've been in the smart home space for over 3 years with Samsung SmartThings. From being the "demo man" for our company to helping with current marketing efforts, I have been on the frontline of crafting relatable tales for consumers across the globe. I believe homes are extensions of ourselves, they represent the way we live, & smart products like SmartThings allow people to express their true self. This is what I call "Techoration," the belief that technology is the new paint! My greatest accomplishment in the space you may ask? It may be getting my Mom up-to-speed on the connected home & watching the joy she has experienced outfitting our house with the latest gear.
