Stephen Copestake

Owner at Acuity Marketing & Communication Pte Ltd

Manisha Tank

MD & Presenter at HG Presentation and Coaching

Steve is a hugely experienced Marketing and Communications executive with more than 36 years.
blue-chip corporate and agency achievement worldwide (he’s quite old). Over that time, he has worked with people and teams at all levels within governments and companies like Disney, PepsiCo, and Unilever, so he knows a thing or two about how to get brands and ideas across in a way that gets attention and can be remembered.

In the course of all that he has lived and worked in the UK, Saudi Arabia, USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and the UAE, which of course makes him all the more glamorous and exciting. Steve’s coaching approach is informal and supportive, with the aim on making the messages much simpler and easy to relate to. He’s an expert on understanding audiences, finding the important points of connection and behaving in a confident and engaging way; these things in combination are key to gaining consensus and presenting with confidence.
