Our Work: Our clients view us as trusted, collaborative partners.
Stern has represented me exclusively since 2015, and I absolutely love working with them. As a thriving boutique agency specialized in thought leaders, it's a perfect fit for an academic and author like me. They understand what clients are looking for, and what I can offer. Their professionalism covers up most of my absentminded professorishness (fortunately!). The most important thing for me, though, is their kindness. It's enjoyable to work with them, and I'm happy to have them representing me. With Danny, Paige, Sumy, Melissa, Ania, and Dan taking care of my clients, and the rest of the team supporting us behind the scenes, I get to just show up and shine at what I do best.
It has been so helpful to have Stern as an advocate but also as a conduit to the outside world, one that we don't always have access to in academia. Being able to talk to companies in large groups as well as consult with managers as an advisor gives me helpful insight into what is happening in organizations. I can bring real-world questions and problems back into my lab (confidentially, of course) to inspire new research and writing. It's been a great partnership – thank you to Stern for supporting and facilitating my work
