Phoebe Stein

A business strategist and industry connector, Phoebe has been a relentless advocate for emerging and existing brands throughout her career.  From the launch of cellular technology for U.S. West Cellular, to launching flat screen technology for SONY in vertical markets, to establishing the revolutionary textile, Crypton® in the hospitality segment, Phoebe has helped build brands, communities within industries and experiential events in various market segments. 

More than 20 years ago, she dedicated her firm's work to the hospitality design industry. Through well-executed strategies for enhanced brand awareness, as well as public relations and marketing initiatives, Phoebe has been instrumental in building and elevating name brands in the hospitality design industry, as well as developing launches and increasing awareness for household name brands in the consumer segment.  

More recently, she has worked to develop and evolve the connectivity of the senior living design segment by aligning designers, manufacturers and suppliers in meaningful industry events.

In 2020, Phoebe co-founded the Ageless Living Collaborative (ALC), a collective of advocates who are passionately dedicated to creating optimum outcomes for senior living. The ALC provides industry information, at no charge, to a broad range of providers, suppliers, designers and owners, offering solutions to challenges faced today in senior living communities.

Prior to re-opening her namesake agency, Phoebe Stein Public Relations, in Chicago, she served as in-house, independent counsel at Leo Burnett Company and managed national accounts for the global public relations firm, Golin. 

Phoebe’s crisis management work in the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, earned her a PRSA Silver Anvil Commendation award.

Today, she oversees all client activities and growth for OLIVE Presents.
