Stephanie Johnson
As BCD’s Digital Marketing & Communications Manager, Stephanie draws on more than 13 years’ experience in branding, strategic communications and digital marketing to help empower women building purpose-led businesses.
Her career spans roles in the NFP, private and public sectors — from a decade developing social media strategy and campaigns for South Australia Police, communicating the complex work of policing to a large and often polarised public, to driving content strategy for the ENoLL-accredited Global Centre for Modern Ageing.
Across each, she has built a reputation for pairing strategic rigour with a sharp instinct for what actually resonates.
Stephanie especially enjoys working with entrepreneurs — many of them women leading ambitious, values-driven businesses — to strengthen how they communicate in both directions: internally, in how a team or business articulates its own thinking, and externally, in how it positions itself, sounds, and shows up in the market.
Stephanie's approach is grounded in practice rather than theory. She does not hand clients a framework and leave them to it. She builds the plan alongside them, supplies the language and structure where it's needed, and steps back once a client no longer needs her to. Her frameworks are built to be used, not admired.
