Mark Stevens

I’m a British-born, UK-based, award-winning, creative marketing professional and with vast knowledge and experience of traditional, experiential, digital and mobile communications strategies and tactics. And 20+years in eCommerce/eBusiness solutions/eBusiness Transformation and eCRM.

I have run small, medium and large marketing, creative and content / video production teams as well as digital companies and even start-ups in the retail, entertainment, IT, recruitment, logistics and hospitality sectors.

I have huge knowledge of fintech, HoReca, travel, automotive, and luxury marketing, as well as telcos and retail and have been lucky enough to have worked on almost everything from fast food to fast cars, managing the strategy, creative and production processes for a plethora of unique marketing initiatives from London to Shanghai.

On the digital front I lead the strategy, scope, design, build, communication and content initiatives, as well as ongoing business transformation advice, to launch and sustain some of Asia’s largest and most complex digital entities including hsbc.com, cathaypacific.com and mandarinoriental.com to mention just a few.

And, in the past 15+years I’ve become exceptionally well versed in the art of social media and content marketing, which is increasingly a part of my daily client ritual as more seek to address this actually quite time-consuming art and which I now teach part-time to mature students looking for a career change, as well as the eCommerce and marketing teams at companies like Colgate and Coke.

I have significant experience of providing effective leadership, advice and solutions to internal and external customers, particularly about digital and transformational change – which I’ve been doing for 20+ years now.  I have always been a confident communicator who can work effectively with a wide range of professionals on diverse projects including project support staff, business analysts, project managers, finance staff, suppliers, and, if required, subject matter experts.

With extensive experience, particularly in start-ups where I had the chance to enjoy wearing multiple hats, of project, content and program delivery in large and complex organisations, my ability to identify and develop innovative solutions, and make powerful arguments for change are exactly what I am about and, now, more than ever before, this stance for change will stand all of us in good stead for our digital futures.

I’m now looking for my next career challenges, as well as looking forward to working with a group of like-minded, ambitious people who are prepared to nurture, encourage, grow and prosper together in order to succeed in the digital economy.
