Steve joined Manning Gottlieb OMD in September 2006 having spent the previous 11 years at full service agency WCRS and then media independent MediaCom. During that time, Steve has run a wide variety of accounts from car brands (including VW Group and BMW), retail, telecoms, insurance, TV stations all the way through to pasta sauce and wine producers.

Steve’s role as Head of Client Services is twofold. Firstly, to ensure that the services Manning Gottlieb OMD provides clients are of the highest possible standard and true to the Agency’s ethos. This involves close connection with Jon Gittings to develop great planning as well as linking up with the specialist buying teams to bring those ideas to life effectively and efficiently. Secondly, Steve is responsible for managing the client facing relationships and Brand Communications team who work directly with our clients.

When it’s not communications solutions that Steve is serving up, it’s wine, either in tasting courses or seminars for work colleagues, clients and media owners. He claims his interest stems from the social, sensory, travel and scientific delights wine has to offer and not the opportunity to spend all afternoon drinking wine in the name of "education".
