She reminds us that we are all patients, that patients are all people and that digital and social media is the language we all speak in. Through this passion, Stephanie has dramatically expanded her agency’s client base, identified opportunities for industry-unique partnerships, delivered award-winning and game-changing communications programmes for her clients and striven to make a digital expert of every member of her team.
