Killing traditional marketing, one algorithm at a time.

Stephanie Unterweger doesn't follow marketing rules and trends—she breaks them. As Founder & CEO of Brands at Play, she's rewriting the rules of brand strategy by weaponizing AI and deep psychographic insights to cut through the noise that's suffocating most brands today.

While others debate whether AI will replace human creativity, Stephanie's already three moves ahead, building frameworks that decode human psychology and turn raw data into authentic brand experiences. Her contrarian approach challenges everything marketers think they know about audience engagement, proving that the brands winning tomorrow are the ones bold enough to abandon yesterday's playbook and embrace the intersection of algorithmic precision and emotional intelligence.

After surviving three strokes at the height of her Fortune 500 executive marketing career—where she served as Global Director of Marketing Communications for GE's $12+ billion Healthcare Systems division and led brand strategy for Saint-Gobain's Life Sciences division—Stephanie made the ultimate contrarian move: she walked away from corporate success, completely reinvented her life and career, and joined a rock band.

This near-death awakening didn't just change her perspective—it supercharged her ability to help brands find their authentic voice in a world drowning in artificial noise. She has architected omnichannel growth strategies for leading CPG and retail brands, while simultaneously empowering startups and emerging companies to leverage cutting-edge technology and disruptive marketing frameworks that enable them to outmaneuver their enterprise competitors.

As a speaker, Stephanie delivers provocative insights on brand strategy in the AI era, the evolution of marketing, and building resilient, antifragile organizations. Her signature talks—including "The Algorithm Rebellion: What Happens When AI Starts Ignoring Our Marketing Rules" and "David vs. Goliath 2.0: How AI is Giving Small Brands Superpowers"—combine cutting-edge marketing intelligence with hard-won wisdom from personal transformation. Her unique perspective bridges the gap between technological disruption and human resilience, offering audiences both strategic frameworks and inspirational insights for thriving in an AI-driven business ecosystem.

Founder & CEO of Brands at Play, author of "Control+Alt+Delete: A Rebel's Guide to Brand Strategy in the Intelligence Era," speaker, and unapologetic disruptor, she delivers insights that make the C-suite rethink their entire strategy. Think of her as part marketing strategist, part tech visionary, part rock star — because shaking up an industry requires that kind of rebellious grit.

The future of marketing isn't coming. It's here. And Stephanie's helping define it.
