Steve Blears

Welcome! I’m Steve Blears, director and co-owner of Bit Famous.
We are a training and coaching business that helps organisations drive growth and engagement through confident communication.
About Steve Blears
My day-to-day job is marketing the business through our website, bitfamous.co.uk, and our main portal for speaking enquiries, pennyhaslam.co.uk.
Over the past five years, the strategies we’ve used have delivered steadily growing enquiries from qualified leads, more than 1.9 million Google search impressions a year and thousands of monthly downloads for our business podcasts and newsletters.
My background is in BBC national news journalism and award-winning factual television in the UK. I was a reporter for Newsbeat and Radio 5 before becoming a producer and director, shooting hit TV shows including The One Show, Watchdog and Bangers & Cash.
