Stephanie Barkow

Stephanie Barkow likes to take advantage of every day. To understand this is to grasp almost everything you need to know about her. Stephanie brings her enormous energy and zest for life to every undertaking. At Brandtrust, we have benefited greatly from her talent and dedication, as she has worked with a diverse group of clients across many industries, including Novartis, Kellogg’s, Eli Lilly, General Mills, Discover and The Hartford.

Before coming to Brandtrust, Stephanie worked in marketing for the Chicago Bulls. She says that what she values most about Brandtrust is the opportunity working here affords her to learn how brand strategy affects every aspect of an organization. “The wonderful thing about Brandtrust is that I get to help clients learn about the core issues that really differentiate their business in the marketplace, and then figure out how to leverage those key attributes in ways both big and small that will drive their success.”

Stephanie’s high-energy approach extends to her leisure time, too. She is a runner, volunteers at a Chicago women’s shelter and attends more concerts than anyone else at Brandtrust, hands down. Stephanie’s passion for life extends to her love of travel, and especially Italy. She describes herself as having “a visceral need to see and be immersed in different cultures.”
