"Today's brands need an exceptional kind of thinking grounded in a deep understanding of humanity, an ability to see what is the compelling integrity of the company behind the brand and the wherewithal to identify its captivating story. Stephanie does this. Few know how to."
"I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Berez for 8 years. She is a superb marketer, consumer-focused, able to see the big picture of a brand’s equity and to act tactically to develop and implement programs that enhance and build that relationship. She has led many successful advertising, social media, and PR campaigns that have driven brand awareness, trial, and retention; packaging renovations that have improved brand appeal and relevance; and innovation programs that have resulted in winning new products in both new categories and closer-in line extensions. Stephanie also has a clear sense of how all of this impacts a brand’s P&L. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."
Joe Kossow Artist + Previously VP Innovation, Church & Dwight www.linkedin.com/in/joe-kossow-99199aa8/ (worked with Stephanie in his capacity as a Director, then Vice President of Global New Product Innovation, at Church & Dwight) "I had the pleasure to work closely with Stephanie over three seasons of music festivals. I appreciated her ability to clearly define her strategy and goals at which point she challenged me and my team to create an innovative, impactful, effective and efficient campaign. Each year, Stephanie pushed hard, and rightly so, for the best ideas, best inventory and most targeted partnership which would maximize her investment.
Stephanie is the optimal marketer and leader - She is very smart, has total command over all forms of media and live events, is incredibly strategic, is highly effective in communicating, has extremely high expectations, holds all parties and people accountable all the while being an incredible resource, supporter and cheerleader for all to succeed." “I had the pleasure of collaborating with Stephanie on several large-scale research studies which benefitted from her passion, inquisitiveness, and strong organizational skills. Stephanie’s leadership style is engaging, bringing more people around the table to the benefit of all; I truly learned so much from working with her.”
