Mark Stevens

Writer | Communicator | Founder

Mark Stevens is an award-winning writer, author, trainer, communications
specialist and creative thinker. During his 25 years in media and
communications, this is the first time Mark has written about himself in the
third person.

Mark has worked with a number of global brands including Unilever, Cadbury,
NEC, Telstra, Etihad, Mitsubishi and Marks and Spencer.
His work has appeared on radio and television, in newspapers and
magazines, online, on billboards and bookshelves.

Before establishing his Communications business 3 Bongos in 2011, Mark
spent a dozen years as National Creative Director for Nova Entertainment, a
role which saw him lead a team of 50 Creative Writers and Sound Engineers
across Australia. During this time, Mark and his team pioneered the design of
a suite of Creative products for the world’s first low-inventory commercial radio
environment.

His work with Australian company NeuroInsights helped Mark gain a deeper
understanding of the impact of language on the minds of consumers,
specifically in the areas of Engagement and Memory Recall.

‘Working with NeuroInsights and seeing how language and words can change
the way a listener involuntarily receives or rejects a message simply reinforced
their power. It applies in all walks of life, from consumer messaging to
workplace interactions. A picture may paint a thousand words, but the impact
of well-chosen words is infinite’.
