Steve Elser has been a marketing professional since two weeks after graduating from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. He's worked at three different ad agencies -- all in NYC -- then did some marketing consulting work before jumping to the buy side as marketing director for PCSB Bank. It was a refreshing change because it allowed him to see this business from a new perspective. The opportunity to apply everything Steve learned on the agency side to one brand 24/7/365 was both satisfying and enlightening. The true epiphany from his years at PCSB was witnessing the power of branding. The culmination of all Steve's valuable experience on both the agency and client side of marketing has resulted in SAGE BRANDWORX. Steve has six children, all grown, with one married and another engaged, and two grandchildren. He and his wife Gilda live in New Fairfield.
