DO FEEL THINK is a strategy consulting firm that turns research into smart decisions and strong brands.
We battle "boring" by making insights compelling. We fight subjectivity and assumption in the search for objectivity and truth. We are at war with inertia, inspiring action.
We help clients share meaningful learning and make an impact through thoughtful analysis, insights with clear action, compelling design and storytelling.
DO FEEL THINK can serve as your brand strategist, account planner, or research and insights partner.
Steve Kesselman
CO-FOUNDER & STRATEGIST
Steve has led creative strategy and brand planning at ad agencies 22squared, Arnold Worldwide and WONGDOODY; directed research and strategy efforts at global consultancy C_Space; and managed millennial insights firm Cassandra through an evolutionary change from a brilliant subscription report to a scalable SaaS business.
He has had the privilege of spearheading efforts for renowned Fortune 500 brands including Citibank, Unilever, AB InBev, U.S. Bank, Nestlé, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Publix Supermarkets.
Steve is most proud of the anti-tobacco work his team completed for the Washington State Department of Health targeting high-risk youth and low socioeconomic households. Calls to the quit-line tripled, and 13 states adopted the campaign in their local markets through a partnership with the CDC.
Steve graduated from Emory University earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in marketing and a second degree in psychology.
