Steven Elwell
Senior Director of Digital Marketing
Steven Elwell is Senior Director of Digital Marketing at Freshpet, and he's the kind of marketer who shows up with a data strategy and leaves with a 22% conversion lift. He's spent the better part of a decade scaling digital marketing from the ground up at Freshpet, shaping platforms and strategy end-to-end. Before that, he shaped social and content strategy at VML and 360i for brands like Coca-Cola, Toyota, and H&R Block.

He knows how national brands operate and how to make digital actually move the needle. More recently, he's been at the center of one of the biggest shifts in search visibility: he took Freshpet from zero to 645 AI Overview appearances in a quarter, and turned that into 46% of their referral traffic. He's seen the playbook work at scale. He gets what it takes to win when the rules of search visibility change.
