Co-founder / DifferentiAgent at Department of Differentiation, co-founder of branded podcast leader, Pacific Content
After the entrepreneurial ride of a lifetime, I have made the tough decision to leave Pacific Content and Rogers Sports & Media on April 30th. After 8 amazing years (!), I am ready for fresh challenges and new problems to solve. I’m thrilled to be passing the torch to an amazing team of leaders and I know they will continue to evolve Pacific Content’s place as a world leader in podcast and marketing strategy & services with brands, and Frequency as a successful original podcast network. As for me, I will be taking some time to search for my next big adventure and I’m really excited to start having conversations with a lot of smart & creative problem solvers. Enormous thanks to my Pacific Content co-founders, Jenny Ouano, Rob Leadley, and Chris Boyce (who, for separate reasons, is also leaving Pacific Content). I'm so grateful to Julie Adam and the team at Rogers that brought us on board three years ago. And to the entire Pacific Content and Frequency Podcast Network teams - you have been the smartest, kindest, and most creative team I’ve ever worked with and I’m exceptionally lucky to have collaborated with all of you. Thank you to all the progressive and innovative marketing leaders across North America and Europe that have trusted Pacific Content as a partner - I can’t begin to tell you all how proud we are of the work we do together. Finally, Pacific Content has built the best company culture I’ve ever experienced and it is the product of amazing humans who care about each other, who care about their work, and who want to think differently about how and why we work together. This team has created something very special. I can’t wait to see what’s next - for Pacific Content, for Frequency, for Chris, and for me! :-)
Big news! I'm very excited for you as you embark on your next journey. Your impact on podcasting for brands, and my own professional experience, has been undeniably deep and wide. Thank you for partnering with us early on, and helping us create the best original branded content the consumer security industry has ever seen. I hope that our friendship endures and our paths cross again soon!

Great insight as you steered PC to Roger's and the latter to a digital path, Steve! Can't wait to see "what's next!"...
I can’t even wrap my brain around a Pacific Content without you and Chris Boyce. But you built something amazing, and I can’t wait to see what the next something amazing is for you!
Wow such big news Steve! It’s truly the end of an era. You created something so extraordinary at PC and I can’t wait to see what your next adventure will be!!!
You built it - the branded shop we all look up to. An inspiration for all in the biz. The new new thing is gonna be fantastic.

Huge loss for us but I'm excited to see what's next for you! It's been so amazing to work with you (again!) - thanks for everything!
It was pleasure to work with you, Steve. Your creative spark that lighted the way for Pacific Content will shine again in whatever you do next. You are truly world class. How about calling your next endeavour ‘World Content’? All the best in your your future business adventures. (And on the golf course, too)
Watched from afar when you were at CBC Radio, thrill to chat and get some sound advice from you while you were at at Pacific Content and threw some digital confetti on the #HumpdayPodcastPick after news of the Frequency hook up. Very much looking forward to what you bring to the table in your next adventure. Cheers, LBJ
All the best Steve. Whatever is next will be amazing, continuing the tradition of creative magic and excellence that is your hallmark! Well done!
