About Stephen G.

I’m a creative strategist and full-stack marketer with a background in product design, brand development, and communications—especially in fast-moving, high-growth environments.As the founder of Stephen Gold Marketing + Design, I help startups and technical teams build brands, design better tools, and launch with clarity. I’ve led internal and external comms for AI, SaaS, robotics, and data companies; designed UI/UX for everything from CDPs to kitchen robots; and built marketing programs that drive pipeline, trust, and long-term positioning.Previously, I was Head of Marketing & Product Design at Bridg (now part of Cardlytics), where I helped turn a complex CDP into an enterprise-ready product adopted by brands like Chipotle and Taco Bell. Before that, I launched and ran a standalone consumer business unit at Infrascale, building an affiliate channel from scratch and leading marketing, ops, and product strategy.I recently relocated to Boston and am looking to connect with teams building things that matter—especially in AI, healthcare, and data services.Areas of expertise:Lifecycle marketing • Messaging & positioning • UI/UX design • Brand systems • Internal comms • Creative direction • Automation & martech ops • Executive support • Partner marketing • Campaign strategy • GTM execution • CRM & data productsToolset highlights:Figma • Sketch • Adobe Creative Suite • HubSpot • Klaviyo • GA4 • WordPress • Camtasia • Zapier • Atlasian • Salesforce • Pipedrive • Google Workspace
