Mike Stephens Email & Phone Number

I am a marketing communications professional with over 25 years of experience managing clients, leading teams, and spearheading programs that reach target audiences, build brands, and transform companies. I have extensive expertise leading motivated global teams by cultivating inspiring environments to deliver innovative and progressive branding campaigns that resonate with audiences and produce results. My creative approach and knack for critical thinking helps drive individual and collective results to achieve success. My key highlights include: I can quickly identify process improvements. I effectively eliminated employee turnover completely (30% to none), improved cost-per-word spend by 20%, and increased employee satisfaction rate from 25% to over 90% for a team of 35. In one year, I evaluated team structure and staffing allocation, met with key stakeholders, redefined the billing model, and increased communication and morale within teams through various recognition and programming initiatives that improved employee engagement.As part of a change management initiative, I spearheaded the consolidation of marketing and communications programs and budgets, resulting in a lead generation increase from 8,000 to 20,000 in five years tripling the revenue. I identified key performance indicators (KPIs) and aligned the leadership team to implement key programs and strategies shifting our approach from 80% in-person events to 30%, which reallocated resources on my team to strengthen our digital presence, which proved to be very beneficial during the pandemic.Skills & Core Competencies: Marketing Communications | Change Management | Process Improvement | Campaign Development | Budgeting | Key Performance Indicators (KPI) | Stakeholder Engagement | Digital Advertising | Search Engine Optimization (SEO) | Team Building | Cross-functional Collaboration | Brand Development | Event ManagementCONTACT: (412) 598-0680 | stephens1129@gmail.com
