Why Steve?

I’ve served at Crossway Church in Melbourne, Australia for 10 years and have led teams of creative and communications arts professionals for over 20 years in the wider marketing and communications sector.

I love helping ministry leaders amplify their ministry through creating effective and powerful communications strategies.

My default position is to build teams and unleash them into their full potential in whatever creative communications focus they have.

I’m an advocate for helping those who are new to the Christian faith find easy on ramps to disciple like steps like serving, growing, giving, and fulfilling their God-given missional potential

I’m a ministry communications guide who helps leaders focus on the right areas to get their maximum return on ministry.

In August 2015 as a realization of our digital and social media strategy I launched Crossway’s online campus which currently averages over 2,300 people attending each week from 80 different countries.

In twelve months through an intentional social strategy I grew our social audience from 13,000 to over 71,000

My Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Use Social Media

Before any church, non-profit or business dives into social media you have to ask yourself, why should you use social media? Obviously you need to figure out what your goal/objective is for using social media is first. I recently wrote at length about the reasons why you need to have figured that out.

How To Maximize Your Facebook Engagement

The social media world and particularly Facebook seems to be changing faster than Usain Bolt can run a 100 metre race. One minute Instagram is a cool independent mobile App, the next moment Facebook swallows it up. The next moment Facebook goes public and raises a pile of cash for Mark Zuckerberg and Co. Then, Facebook release (today) Facebook Camera.

All it seems to have happened in the space of a few weeks. The change is relentless and seems to be increasing at an every rapid rate. Yet with all of the news and updates that go on, one principle remains unchanged - Social media is still social. Engagement with your audience is the No. 1 reason why you should be on social media in the first place....

Qantas Makes A Complete Hash Of Social Media Tweet Campaign

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse for Qantas. Their brand took a further nose dive today (excuse the pun). They had a go at relaunching their battered reputation though starting a competition on Twitter on the day after their negotiations broke down with their airline pilots.
