So what’s not to love about working and knowing Steve?
I’ve had the good fortune and privilege to work on major clients’ assignments with Steve, who has not only been a colleague, but also and foremost a business (and sometimes life) mentor.
His cool demeanour always put you at ease even in the direst of circumstances and his guidance and propositions are always based on a very profound client and business knowledge.
As a seasoned professional and LinkedIn acknowledged contributor, I always look forward to read him, exchange with him… Just being inspired by him.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for two years at Omnicom Media Group Asia Pacific, where Steve led OMD APAC and helped me navigate the network and build my own business supporting the growth of OMD.

Since Steve moved back to Europe I’ve continued to work with him as both a friend and colleague, where he’s been an excellent networker helping with introductions and recommendations, one key area we’ve worked together on is his encouragement in my starting with LinkedIn writing.

Steve genuinely thinks of others before himself, and will not hesitate to provide support to help drive success. This is a rare skill that is not often seen and one I am very grateful for. If you know Steve, use him to build your network, if you don’t know Steve yet - connect with him.

Steve Blakeman is a brand-builder at heart - for clients and his own organization. While focusing on delivering positive growth and strong results for clients across APAC, Steve was the first one of our executive team to embrace the opportunity to use thought leadership to inspire our clients, our partners and our people. As a result, he has strengthened the OMD brand around the world -- attracting top talent and clients to the organization. Many executives shy away from the hard work of thought leadership, but Steve ran towards the challenge, as he does every challenge, with open arms and a will to win. He would be a global asset to any team.
