About Steven Safran

I have developed a highly successful track record of recognizing synergies between companies that are not always immediately evident, and opening the doors between the two at the highest corporate levels. This has led to a reputation for building innovative partnerships that elevate both organizations beyond what either could achieve alone. That’s the 1+1=3 impact. I’m an accomplished marketing and business development leader with hunter-focused development skills based on 25+ years of quantifiable success developing/executing marketing plans for Fortune 500 national flag ship brands (e.g, Johnson & Johnson, Mennen), national media (i.e, Conde Nast where my marketing accomplishments were covered in leading business publications), non-profit health (e.g, American Diabetes Association) and startups where I\'ve successfully generated incremental revenues and brand awareness. My marketing wisdom foundation is built on my Fortune 500 brand management experience managing national flagship brands with P&L budget responsibility, including new product development, cause marketing, licensing, advertising, and promotions. My work experience spans a broad spectrum of business categories, and I have been able to cross-reference and apply corporate building strategies and sales increases in successful innovative ways. My \"boundary spanning\" skills enable me to see solutions where category insiders who operate on the tradition of “this is the way we always do it,” can’t see them. In all my working relationships, I’m proud to say I’ve also been recognized for my collaborative management leadership experience.
