Stephen Fritz’s Summary
A veteran of the digital industry, Stephen has been there since the beginning shaping some of the world’s largest brands and interactive agencies.
Stephen is currently a Brand Consultant and Creative Director in New York City working with firms like Ultra16, TippingSprung and DigitalKitchen to integrate the brand and digital offerings to existing client engagements and business development efforts. Stephen also serves as a board member to the international non-profit institute Eurica Media Lab.
Most recently Stephen served as a Creative Director at IconNicholson overseeing the creative vision and user-experience for the BT Global Services international engagement.
Prior to IconNicholson, Stephen spent a decade as co-founder and Creative Director of Olive establishing it as one of the most respected and prestigious boutique interactive firms of its kind. Focused on erasing the division between branding and interactive disciplines, Stephen utilized the Internet to expand traditional branding from establishing a brand promise to delivering a brand promise. While at Olive, Stephen has worked with a diverse range of clients from MTV, Comedy Central, AMC, WE, Noggin, Crunch Fitness and Fresh Direct to Honeywell, Delloitte & Touch, SmartMoney and Pfizer.
Stephen began his career at Poppe Tyson Interactive as a Group Creative Director in 1995, joining them as their first creative and a member of the core team that built the firm into one of the first fully integrated global agencies in the world. With no existing model to follow, Stephen helped define a structure and process for how an interactive agency worked. He worked on strategies and web sites for the first online efforts of clients such as Chase, T.Rowe Price, Merrill Lynch, Siemens, Valvoline, Lenscrafters, Toshiba, and the ‘Got Milk?’ campaign.
