About Steve Goll

Since 1993, I've worked as a communicator for public and private organizations such as University of Washington, New York University, Scholastic, Red Sky Interactive and the U.S. Peace Corps — leaders known for their outstanding practices in education, marketing, online branding and community service.

Currently I serve as communications manager for Washington Technology Center, a technology-based economic development organization located at the University of Washington. For the center, I have focused on building a foundation of effective communications: cultivating strong relationships with our key audiences; producing targeted Web and print communications; and telling complex stories in understandable and engaging ways. These good practices have shown that the fundamentals work — we’ve significantly improved our unpaid media coverage, increased our lead generation, and raised our profile among our target audiences.

Prior to Washington Technology Center, I was a program director in education settings and a Web producer in agency and corporate settings. Clients included the award-winning Altoids.com (recognized by Communication Arts magazine) and Comverse.com (a technology firm, not the shoe maker). I hold a master’s degree in educational communication and technology from New York University, a bachelor’s in photography, and a membership with IABC, the International Association of Business Communicators.
