Stephanie Smeriglio
Director of Client Services :: New York office
Stephanie serves as the Director of our client service team based out of our New York office. She is the chief go-to person for our clients and our client service execs, handling their needs, hopes and dreams, across multiple projects and engagements. She’s here to make your life easier, and to make sure we all get along.
Stephanie joins us after nearly a year of hounding, as she was one of our best clients while working at OgilvyOne Worldwide on the Fosters Beer project we worked on with them. We are delighted to have her. Since she’s been at The Barbarian Group, Stephanie has been managing the relationships of several of our agency and direct clients, such as GE, CNN, Roush Fenway, MTV Networks, New Museum of Contemporary Art, and so much more! Stephanie reports to Ben, our CEO, and Rick, our COO.
In her 3 or so years at Ogilvy Stephanie worked on the interactive business for several consumer packaged goods companies, including Unilever, Dove, Hellmann’s, Kraft, Honey Bunches of Oats, Fruit20, Maxwell House and more. She was also serving as a “360 partner” for all strategic and future planning for the above brands formulating strategies to effectively meet client needs from an innovative brand websites to effective online advertising campaigns. If that doesn’t sound professional, we don’t know what does.
On top of all of this, Stephanie actually went to school for this stuff, attending the University of Virginia, and doing stints at Carat USA and at Benneton in the PR world. Prior to her life in advertising, Stephanie taught Kindergarten. We’ll leave it to you to judge whether this is relevant experience or not. She is currently wrapping up her MBA at NYU’s Stern School of Business woo hoo!
