About
Stephanie Rudnick is a brand management and communications strategist with over 20 years of experience across numerous industries. In December 2020, she and her family "picked up sticks" and moved to Sydney, Australia, for a new adventure where she rejoined dentsu's global sports and entertainment agency MKTG. In March 2024, she launched MKTG's dedicated sports PR offering out of Sydney. Concurrently, she'll continue to head up PR at the beloved Angel City Football Club, LA's professional women's soccer team founded by Natalie Portman, Julie Uhrman and Kara Nortman and call over 100 trailblazers as investors including Billie Jean King, Jennifer Garner, Abby Wambach, Glennon Doyle, Eva Longoria, and Matthew Stafford.
In October 2018, Rudnick joined the XFL as the head of communications and media relations.

During an 18-month tenure, Rudnick hired and managed the PR staff at the league's eight teams, a team at HQ, as well as an outside strategic communications agency 160over90. She oversaw all comms activities for league execs, business and sponsorship teams, coaches, and players that generated more than 3.2 billion earned media impressions valued at over $250,000,000.
In February 2015, she joined MKTG, as head of global communications. Before MKTG, she ran marketing and communications at leading global sports and entertainment agency, Wasserman Media Group. She also created the company's internal athlete public relations discipline and managed day-to-day PR for key talent including Andrew Luck, Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach, Derrick Rose, Jason Collins and many others.
