“I've had the pleasure to work with Steve for two years. What he brings to the table is always crucial data that helps inform strategy, UX and design. He's a whiz in all things digital, and always quick to offer help. And the best part about Steve is his personality—like a good neighbour, Steve the Analytics-Toolman Taylor is a stand-up guy. ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Steve on a number of customer and brand strategy projects that took a deep dive into online consumer behaviours, shifting cultural narratives, UX/CX, and brand perceptions. Steve lead all digital analytics and social listening programs and has an incredible eye for detail and pattern-recognition. He is a search guru and has a tremendous capacity to distil complex data sets into friendly and usable insights. Steve is an incredible asset on any leadership team and is just an all-around great guy to work with.”

“Steve was such a pleasure to work with, he would always over deliver and exceeded my expectations whenever we worked together on projects. Always an optimist and such a positive influence on anyone around him.”

“I love working with Steve. He’s so well-versed in analytics and digital strategy, in drawing insights from data, and in making recommendations on how to act on those insights. I learned so much from working with him. In fact, that’s why I asked him to be a guest teacher when I was teaching a class about content management/strategy. He’s collaborative and kind, supportive of people’s learning and skills development, and keeps it real. Steve Taylor is a gem.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Steve twice. Steve and I worked together at Isobar/iProspect when we were both with Aegis Media - Steve was a great resource to me around around paid search and SEO. A total team player - even though we worked in different verticals at Aegis, Steve and his team were always there to partner together to win new business and support existing clients. When I moved over to Jackman reinvents, Steve was there as a welcoming face - and a strategic partner for all of Jackman's digital business - developing strategy, providing supporting research, reviewing and analysing the results of our clients' analytics and providing solid guidance on the latest trends and tactics of web marketing in general. Dedicated, analytical, with an ability to distill effective tactics from an overarching strategy, Steve was always the consummate professional. Couple that with his engaging personality and Steve makes a great addition to any team. I'm looking forward to working with Steve again in the future and unreservedly recommend him. ”

“I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to meet, work with and learn from Steve while at Jackman. He loved what he did, was a huge contributor to the company culture and was always willing to help others. He’s a positive force (even in difficult times), a true collaborator and creative thinker. ”

“Steve is an analytics whiz. If I had one word to describe him, it would be integrity. He is confident in his work, and open to integrating new insights into the value he provides. Approachable with a smile on his face, he's someone that brings the best out of others, even the toughest coworkers and clients.”

“What can one say about Steve Taylor? Lots. He uses the tools at his disposal to draw insight and put forth valuable solutions. Equally important – he’s a great person. Kind, considerate, salt of the earth. ”

“Overall, Steve was great to work with. He's a dynamic team player which shows in his willingness to help anyone who approaches him, no problem too big or small. If he's not able to assist, he will find someone who can. His work ethic, brilliant skill set and overall positive attitude, makes him an asset to any company. ”

“I worked with Steve on a number of projects at Jackman. He has an uncanny ability to take a vague topic and develop a data-driven and strategic point of view – and in record time. There were many times when Steve’s analysis and insights provided a new way for us to think about consumer behavior and market trends. In addition to his analytical prowess, Steve really is one of the nicest people I’ve had the opportunity to work with. ”

“Steve and I never officially worked on a client project together but we connected at the office on a social level and through our mutual interest in digital tech. We'd discuss the latest tech news over Slack and connect at lunch on occasion. He was always welcoming and open to chat about any subject, especially if it was related to one of our client engagements. ”

“Having the chance to work with Steve was a great highlight of my working experience. Beyond his expert knowledge in analytics and digital marketing Steve is a beacon of light and one of the kindest humans I've met. He actively aids in the growth of individuals around him and is an awesome contribution to the overall culture of an organization. ”

Steve was both culturally and professionally integral to the success our team and the broader company enjoyed during this time. His expertise in marketing analytics and general positivity make it no surprise that Steve’s desk had a certain gravitational pull to orbit. He is reliable to help a colleague with any request and taught me much in my early years. ”
