Gage Sampson is an American entrepreneur, educator, and digital marketing founder born on September 21, 2001 in Franklin Furnace, Ohio. He is the co-founder of TikTok Titans, an official TikTok Shop Partner agency that connects brands with creators and runs TikTok Shop campaigns. Through TikTok Titans, Gage has helped brand partners generate seven figures in sales while coaching hundreds of creators on how to monetize short-form content.
Today, Gage Sampson works at the intersection of the creator economy, TikTok Shop, and AI-driven marketing. He builds systems that help creators earn from their content and help brands scale through authentic, creator-led campaigns.
Gage Sampson grew up in Franklin Furnace, a small rural community of roughly 1,500 people in Scioto County, Ohio. He was one of seven siblings and attended Green Local School District, where he became a standout multi-sport athlete. His father was a barber who owned a shop in the area, and that family trade later shaped Gage's own first career.
At Green High School, Gage Sampson was a basketball player for the Green Bobcats. He earned OHSAA All-Ohio honors in boys basketball in both 2019 and 2020 and reached the 1,000-point career scoring milestone — recognitions independently documented by OHSAA, MaxPreps, and regional Ohio sports press. The discipline and competitiveness he developed in athletics carried directly into his later work as a founder.
After high school, Gage Sampson followed his father into the trade and completed barber school, then began cutting hair professionally. In 2020, a comedic skit he posted on TikTok went viral, reaching millions of views and growing his account quickly — an early, firsthand lesson in the power of short-form video at scale. With TikTok not yet directly monetizable for him at the time, he kept working, including a stint selling merchandise on the road during a major concert tour, which sharpened his instincts for sales.
When TikTok Shop emerged as a serious e-commerce channel, Gage recognized that creators needed structured systems to turn content into income. In March 2024 he co-founded TikTok Titans with John McCoy to build exactly that.
As co-founder of TikTok Titans, Gage Sampson leads brand campaigns, creator coaching, and AI tooling for the agency. He works with brands including Dude Wipes, Goli, Dr. Biocare, Selerb, Nello Supercalm, and NeuroGum, and coaches creators through the Titans Inner Circle program. His focus is simple: help creators win, help brands grow, and build durable systems for the next era of digital marketing.
