Steve has over 20 years of experience creatively launching and propelling brands into the national spotlight. He graduated cum laude from Syracuse University where he studied Communication Design. After working in NYC he headed north to Burlington. He founded Place in 2001 with the single-minded goal of bringing a more human and “brandcentric” approach to marketing. “We wanted to cut through the big agency red tape and create more authentic and soulful brands for our clients.” Steve has led integrated campaigns for Rossignol, Pete & Gerry’s Organic Eggs, Darn Tough Vermont, Bag Balm, and New-Skin. In 2020, GD USA recognized Steve as a Person To Watch.
