Steve Barton

Steve arrived on the international marketing scene in 1990 when he was transferred from New York to London by OgilvyOne Worldwide.  Since then, he has managed international communications and developed award-winning strategies for a number of blue chip companies.  Microsoft, Save the Children, Compaq, IBM, Kodak, VSO, Holiday Inn, Kellogg's and Unilever, to name a few.

Steve blends strategic insight with entrepreneurial drive.  He has successfully started up a number of communications agencies in London, such as Jones Mason Barton Antenen, Leonardo (for Leo Burnett), and Keevill Barton Kershaw.  He is a director of two companies: Advokator and Epizodz.  And he currently provides marketing consultancy for start-up businesses as well as established brands.

He was elected President of WOM UK, the Word of Mouth Marketing Association in the UK.  He is a regular keynote speaker and chair at conferences around the world on such topics as word of mouth marketing, advertising and relationship marketing.  He also speaks and runs workshops at corporate events for the likes of Royal Mail, IBM, Orient Express Hotels and Celerant Consulting.  He can be seen regularly in the media -- including CNBC Money Wheel, BBC2 Working Lunch and SkyNews -- usually talking about marketing.

Steve graduated with a BA in Organisational Behaviour and Management from Brown University in 1984.
