Who Is on the Dunlop Media Team?

Updated

Dunlop Media is a narrative communications advisory firm led by founder Steve Dunlop, a veteran US journalist. The team listed on its site also includes Lisa M. Duchin, Bob Fasbender, Charles Feldman, and Denisse Oller. The firm describes itself as a group of media training, presentation training, and message development specialists, and says more than 40 Fortune 500 companies have engaged it. If you are evaluating Dunlop Media for media training, presentation coaching, or narrative development, the team's journalism background and corporate client experience are the main credentials to weigh.

The Dunlop Media team

The site's Team section names five people:

Name Role on the site
Steve Dunlop Founder; the firm is described as founded by a veteran journalist
Lisa M. Duchin Team member
Bob Fasbender Team member
Charles Feldman Team member
Denisse Oller Team member

The available page evidence lists these names but does not give individual titles, biographies, or areas of specialization for the non-founder members. For detailed backgrounds, check each person's profile on the Dunlop Media site or their professional profiles.

What the team's background means for clients

Dunlop Media's positioning rests on journalism experience and a narrative-based approach rather than generic messaging. The site states its operating principle: "humans are biologically and culturally wired for stories, not messaging." The team applies that principle to help clients become:

  • true organizational storytellers, not simply deliverers of messages
  • stronger and more persuasive internal and external presenters
  • more effective print and broadcast media interview subjects
  • more influential communicators across social media platforms

The firm says it works with clients both in person and remotely, and that it is the creator and exclusive teacher of the PATH™ and SPAR® communications curricula.

Services the team delivers

The team's capabilities are organized into two levels:

Level One

  • Strategic Narrative Design
  • Communication Readiness — Print and Online
  • Media Training — Broadcast and Video
  • Organizational Alignment Workshops

Level Two

  • Media Crisis Training
  • Business Presentation Training
  • Executive Communications Leadership
  • Office Hours Remote Training (all levels)

This structure matters if you are matching a specific need — for example, preparing an executive for broadcast interviews versus running an internal alignment workshop — to the right offering.

How to decide if this team fits

Consider Dunlop Media if you want communications coaching grounded in journalism practice and delivered by people who have worked in newsrooms, and if your organization needs help translating complex ideas into narratives. The stated track record of more than 40 Fortune 500 clients suggests experience with large, high-stakes communications environments.

The site does not publish pricing, engagement terms, or detailed bios for most team members, so those details require a direct inquiry. The site offers a "Request info" option and a "Schedule a consultation" call to action for that purpose.
