Stefanie Beach, a digital marketing expert, founded SMB Media Consulting in 2018 with the mission to provide simple media solutions and services that alleviate the stressors of a marketer’s job. After a 12-year digital media career managing programmatic account teams, Stefanie desired to work outside the confined structure of a standard 9-5 job to be a more present parent to her daughter. Being unable to source this opportunity led to the creation of SMB Media Consulting, which provides flexible employment to experienced digital marketers and digital media talent solutions that seamlessly integrate within brands, agencies, and publishers. As an award-winning founder and CEO of SMB Media Consulting, Stefanie focuses on building strong client partnerships and managing all business operations. She is also the host of The Digital Marketeer podcast. In 2022, Stevie® Awards for Women in Business named Stefanie Beach winner of the Bronze Female Executive of the Year in the Business Services category, the Village of Pelham named SMB Media Consulting “Best of” in the category of Media Consultant, and SMB was WBENC certified as a woman-owned business. In 2023, SMB ranked 377 on the Inc. 5000 award list for the fastest-growing private companies in America. In 2024, Stefanie won an Enterprising Women of the Year Award for her company’s growth, involvement in the community and volunteering time as an industry mentor. Stefanie and SMB were also honored by the Best ofAmerica Small Business Awards. Before SMB Media Consulting, Stefanie held leadership positions at PubMatic, MediaMath, Conversant, House of Kaizen, and Initiative. Stefanie regularly speaks at events and continues to train and mentor others about the evolving ad tech industry. Outside of SMB Media Consulting, the best part of her day is when she is making memories with her daughter and husband, whether that be traveling, being active, or exploring new recipes to cook.
