Making teams at the world’s leading media, advertising and technology organizations smarter
About Steven
Throughout his career, Steven Golus held senior roles at leading digital advertising companies including Google, DoubleClick, DataXu, and x+1. After years on the front lines of ad tech, Steven recognized a growing gap: many media and advertising teams were being asked to sell, buy, and measure digital media without a clear, practical understanding of how the ecosystem actually works.
Today, Steven focuses primarily on training teams on the full digital advertising ecosystem—from programmatic (DSPs/SSPs), data and identity, measurement and attribution, retail media, CTV/streaming, and privacy, to the real-world dynamics shaping how budgets move. Known for his highly interactive style, Steven delivers engaging, tailored sessions that help sales, marketing, and product teams build confidence and speak the same digital language. Thousands of professionals across organizations such as NBCU, Disney, GroupM, Mediabrands, and many others have participated in his training programs.
Steven also founded The Boyd Initiative, which trains young Black professionals in digital advertising. Since 2020, over 1,000 students have graduated from the program, with more than 300 securing jobs at partner companies.
