Steven Bartlett

Young entrepreneur, CEO of Social Chain and a leading marketer, Steven Bartlett also divides his time to become an after dinner speaker at a variety of corporate events, conferences and functions. Having gone from running a start-up business in his bedroom to owning six offices in five different countries, Steven Barlett reflects on how he went from good to great to inspire and educate audiences of all varieties.

A university drop out, Barlett formed his first company at the age of 18. He developed a student communal website named Wallpark with the aim of its users sharing information surrounding upcoming events, job openings and other local opportunities. Although his choices within education didn’t get him his parent’s full approval as Wallpark began to decline, Steven defied all expectations when he set up two successful businesses, Social Chain and Media Chain by the time he was 22 years old.

Having now combined his two flagships to create the first integrated social media company, Social Chain Media, he is now an international leader of more than 700 people. His admirable drive and determination has taken him to work with more than 50 global names including high-profile clientele including Apple, Amazon, Coca-Cola and Nokia.

A confident businessman, Steven is reinventing what is known as a traditional workplace as his offices are known to inhouse puppies, bars, ball pits and slides in a bid to create an environment his employees will enjoy and thrive in. Also redefining the landscapes of what is known as a traditional marketing agency, it’s evident that Steven is not afraid of taking risks.

A passionate, driven and award-winning entrepreneur, Barlett was recently inducted into Manchester’s Hall of Fame by the Mayor of Greater Manchester. He has also been named the most influential individual in marketing and social media marketing by 100 agency leaders in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
