Left brain. Right brain. And heart.

Wired to bring out the
best in brands.

Hi, I’m Steph.

I’m a brand strategist and master copywriter with a unique combination of talents that make short work of complex challenges, from multi-screen engagements to print. I’ve held leadership positions at B2C and B2B agencies—and I’ve championed customer sensibility and simplicity at every turn.

Steph Brown

Whether I’m guiding a startup or contributing to an enterprise or agency, I aim to do great work, collaborate with extraordinary colleagues, drive stellar results, and be the best part of my clients’ day.

When I’m not at my desk, I’m reading thrillers; hiking with my doggos; swimming laps at the local pool; learning to channel the Buddha; and volunteering wherever I can to make an impact, even a small one.

Clients past and present:

What I think

Empathy can make the incredibly complex feel simple.

Shaking things up is often the best way to solve a challenge.

Delighting in the process is just as important as taking pride in the finished product.

Laughter is the best medicine, particularly in highly regulated industries like pharma.

Dogged tenacity always gets you to the marrow, as I’ve learned from my Schnauzers.

Everything truly great in life demands passion and delivers a modicum of peace.
