Hello, I’m Steph Inez Matthews (she/her)
I am a strategic sales & marketing consultant for purpose led organisations. I help clients create sustainable business growth with meaningful impact.
I do this by collaborating with:
Brand leads who need to understand their real audiences, for market expansion opportunities
Agency leadership who need to identify and accelerate client conversion
HR leads who want to drive talent attraction and retention through inclusive cultures.
Welcome to #Steph
Over the last two decades, I’ve built a global career across brand, media owner and agency, specialising in strategic business growth, purpose marketing and audience insight.
At the social impact consultancy Creative Equals, I partnered with Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 brands, including Philips, Mars, and Walgreens on business and marketing transformation. I’ve developed brand and marketing strategies at the Virgin Group + the RAC, and created award winning advertising insight programmes at Channel 4, ITV, and News Corp.
Driving social impact at a grassroots level, I’ve served as the President and Non Executive Director for Bloom UK, and engaged in mentoring programmes for Stonewall and BelEve.
Today, I work direct to client, using cultural insight to solve business and marketing challenges. I collaborate via long term partnerships and short term projects. Clients include Meta, Warner Bros Discovery, British Red Cross and TikTok.
I sit on the University of Greenwich Business & Marketing Advisory Board, and guest lecture for Chartered Institute of Marketing.
I write op-eds and deliver keynote speeches on topics including intersectional leadership, inclusive marketing and mental wellbeing. Having made the semi-finals of Penguin’s Write Now competition, I’m currently writing my inaugural non-fiction career handbook for young, queer, brown women. Coming soon….
