About Forrester
Forrester Research, Inc. is an independent research company that provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice to global leaders in business and technology.

Steven serves eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals. He is an authority on Australian online retail, including the behavior of Australian consumers, the sector's pattern of growth, Australian online retail technology adoption, and local retail practices across the entire customer life cycle, including marketing, merchandizing, and customer experience. A consistent theme of his recent research is the need to bury the funnel as a model of how marketing and commerce function, replacing it with a holistic understanding of the customer life cycle. From his base in Australia, Steven observes Asia Pacific trends, with a focus on China. His global research has addressed issues that range from content moderation and green marketing to global marketing management.
Before joining Forrester, Steven spent almost five years with the global, full-service public relations agency Hill & Knowlton. There he launched and managed the company's digital PR offering in Australia. Prior to this, Steven's roles included editor of Australian Macworld and eBusiness editor of Marketing magazine.
Steven received an MBA from the University of Technology Sydney, a graduate certificate in professional writing and editing from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and a B.A. with honors in economic history and industrial relations from the University of Melbourne.
