Steve Lee has almost 45 years in marketing and communications, much of it spent in strategic planning and digital communication. He founded and remains chair and chief pathfinder for , a Dallas firm specializing in web development, email campaigns, social media, monitoring and analytics, and strategic planning.

As interactive company founder or college professor, Lee is not exactly normal. Don’t think that gray hair makes him the old guy – decades of business experience combined with technical understanding make for a vibrant combination. It’s rare for someone to have both business and technical savvy who can sit comfortably in the break room or the boardroom. A tech fanatic even before the internet rearranged our world, Lee has a veteran’s business eye for what works and what doesn’t.

Lee boasts a diverse background in strategy, marketing and technology. He has worked with top national and international brands like Gold's Gym, Apple, Blockbuster, Dish, PepsiCo, Lotto, Payless Shoe Source, Uniplex, UCCEL Corporation, RadioShack, Olivetti, Rolls Royce, British Leyland Motors, Zales, Mrs Baird’s Bread, Borden’s, Whataburger and many, many others.

Lee is frequently interviewed by Dallas-Fort Worth media and regularly speaks to business groups across the country about technology’s impact on our future, social media updates and trends, digital security, strategic digital planning and of course, rock ’n roll photography through the decades.

He is an accomplished, and sometimes irreverent, speaker before hundreds of groups nationwide on topics ranging from communications ethics and strategic communications and marketing planning to digital communication and social media trends and techniques, personal and corporate online security, and analytics branding and reputation management. His latest business presentation is “Look Into the Crystal Ball,” where he discusses marvels and wonders that are not quite here, but are coming soon.

Finally, his early loves were music and photography, so he combined the two and has staged, produced, promoted, covered and photographed musical events since 1968. You can see a sampling of his photography at .
