Hi, I’m Steven Silverman
I am a marketer and strategist. I see strategic and marketing problems as practical choices that can be informed with thoughtful research, analysis, and communication. With insights from qualitative and quantitative, primary and secondary research, these efforts can build meaningful brands in the market's mind. To this end, I have managed multi-million dollar annual budgets and driven executive decisions on marketing and strategy across a range of industries, including: software, electronic components, chemical fibers, integrated circuits, pet food, personal care, life and health insurance, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, online retail, not-for-profit organizations, and others. I also worked in marketing management for Microsoft (market research, product strategy, and product management) and DuPont (led marketing research for the fibers division). And I managed client projects, and consulted in marketing and business growth for Monitor Company. I earned a Ph.D. in marketing and strategy from the University of Pittsburgh, and an MBA in marketing and a BA in psychology and communications, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Based on research that I conducted, I wrote Brand Constellations. The course presents an approach for building a brand more effectively based on how people think about brands.
