The very definition of a high-impact team player, Stephens brought immense value to our team and it was a privilege to collaborate with, and learn from, him. I hired Stephens to build out our CRM and Lifecycle Marketing function and he excelled in every measure. He leveraged his diverse digital marketing experience to institute best practices, grow our sophistication and unlock the potential of our team. A natural collaborator with a strong technical mind, both myself and the larger organization relied upon his strategic thinking to move us forward. He's the type of team member you search high and low for and once he joins, you do everything possible to ensure he never leaves. I welcome anyone to reach out to me directly so that I can share the countless ways Stephens delivered for our team.

Stephens is a killer marketer and leader. He is innovative, sharp and always looking for the next challenge. He has a deep understanding of customers’ needs, digital marketing, and how to fuse the two. He leads campaigns and projects with a data-first approach and is a champion of testing and optimizing. A rare combo, Stephens pairs being analytically-minded with a keen eye for design, and brings value in both leading brand initiatives and executing design, from web to email to print. In addition to his skills as a strategic leader and tactical marketer, Stephens is also the definition of a team player. He goes above and beyond to help his teammates and is an intentional and skilled mentor. Stephens is an asset to any team he is a part of and would be a huge value-add to any organization.

I had the honor of working under Stephens for a year and a half at Trevecca Nazarene University. I began my position knowing very little about web design, coding, and email marketing, but he took me under his wing and taught me basically everything I know now. I have had multiple promotions while employed here single-handedly because of what I have learned from Stephens. He is a great teacher, a phenomenal leader, and an all around incredible person to work with. If you have the chance to interview Stephens for a position, you don’t know how lucky you are. He will begin as an amazing asset to your team and will become a dear friend as well. Don’t miss the opportunity to work with this man.
