I've been around the block a time or two  ;-)

Steve Brett is a pioneer in digital marketing and website development and a 30-year veteran in the ad business, harking back to the legendary, legacy masters like Bernbach, Ogilvy and J. Walter Thompson . He founded and built an ad agency in New York that grew to become a member of The American Association of Ad Agencies. 

 

During his career, Steve made millions of pitches and presentations to Fortune 500s, SMEs, start-ups, neighborhood groups, other CMOs and creative teams. While earning a Master at Teaching, he saw that people weren't learning the kind of communication skills they would need to reach their full potential. That realization, combined with his real-world business experience, became the foundation of Presentation TuneUps.

 

Today, Steve specializes in personal communications, helping individuals and teams deliver compelling talks, pitches, and presentations of all kinds.

 

 Years ago, Steve’s agency created the first campaigns for an early cellphone company that eventually merged with others to become Verizon. The firm also worked with a payroll company with a niche market that grew big enough to exit to ADP. Sitting alone in his home office, he built the first website for the Citizen Watch Company and his agency partnered with others to offer athletic shoes for sale online for the first time for The Sports Authority.

 

Other marquee clients on the roster included SONY, Hertz, Fiduciary Trust, NatWest Bank, T. Anthony Leather, Department 56, and The New York Stock Exchange. The firm also handled regional and local clients. He now works regularly with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, c-suite executives, startups and entrepreneurs in the southeast with The RAISE Forum, sponsored by Emory University’s Goizueta School of  Business and TiE Atlanta, part of an international network of startup mentoring and investment.

 

 Steve earned a Master at Teaching Degree from Agnes Scott College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Literature (Education minor) from The New School University in New York.
