Denise Blasevick

Founder @ The S3 Agency

Denise Blasevick is co-founder and CEO of The S3 Agency, a Brand Elevation agency that has helped elevate brands like BMW Motorcycles, Eight O’Clock Coffee, Ferrari of North America, Tetley Tea, and Wyndham Worldwide – thanks to her agency's proprietary “Brand Elevation” process that helps brands unleash the power of differentiation. She has been recognized with over 1,000 awards for her creativity and business acumen, including induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame of New Jersey; serves on Centenary University’s Board of Trustees; and is frequently featured in the media for her marketing expertise. During the pandemic, Denise turned her agency’s powers of innovation toward helping her home state's small businesses recover: they launched the #NJSmall grassroots movement, which has now become sponsored bills in the NJ Senate and Assembly and is on its way to becoming legislation designed to help speed NJ’s economic recovery without asking for government funding. Denise’s hobbies include crosswords, running, and scuba diving, and her greatest joy is spending time with her husband and teenage son.
