WHO WE ARE
STEFANIE SMALL
Producer, writer, and publicist Stefanie Small has worked a lifetime in the arts – in front of the cameras, on the stage, and behind the scenes. She is currently retained by clients for strategy, web, and media development that is accessible, engaging, and in support of their communications strategies.
As a professional, Stefanie spent years as a content creator for an educational nonprofit, as a podcast producer for multiple entities, and kept a roster of independent clients that she supported in (re)launching their businesses.
Prior to those years, Stefanie was a sought after publicist in the Bay Area’s performing arts market, working first for the premier arts presenter of the West Coast, Cal Performances at UC Berkeley, then with the boutique PR firm CBPR.
