Steve Pierce
Senior Director
Steve Pierce is a Senior Director at Bully Pulpit International (BPI), where he helps companies, causes, and campaigns develop and drive compelling narratives that command attention, capture hearts and minds, and create change. Leveraging his expertise at the intersection of message and strategy, Steve advises top leaders across a wide variety of fields — including business, sports, entertainment, technology, politics, philanthropy, and more — as they seek to connect with key audiences and achieve meaningful goals.
Before joining BPI in 2021, Steve served as the Director of Battleground State Communications for Priorities USA, the largest Super PAC supporting Joe Biden’s campaign for the White House. In this role, he led an on-the-ground, integrated communications program, leveraging earned, paid, and social media tactics to shape the narrative about the 2020 presidential election across four crucial battleground states.
Prior to his time at Priorities, Steve spent seven years as a leader at Hattaway Communications, where he worked with progressive clients across politics, government, advocacy, philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector. Drawing on insights from psychology and linguistics, best practices from branding and marketing, and lessons learned from his background in political campaigns, he led countless teams in executing complex research and communications projects for some of the biggest names in their respective fields.
Steve earned a bachelor's degree in communications from Brigham Young University and a master's degree in political management from The George Washington University. He enjoys spending his free time with his three great loves — his wife, Jessie; his sons, Cohen, Rory and Shea; and the game of basketball.
