Stera Global

Stera Global is a design studio based in Philadelphia that builds digital products, brand systems, and user experiences. The company works with enterprise clients across consumer goods, luxury fashion, travel, and healthcare—most visibly Unilever, Marriott International, and Loho Bride. While the source doesn't specify team size or founding year, the portfolio suggests a mid-sized operation focused on end-to-end brand and digital transformation rather than pure development.

Services and capabilities

Stera structures its work into four service lines. Digital products include UX/UI design, mobile apps, SaaS platforms, product strategy, and UX audits. Creative design covers marketing websites, internal tools, campaign visuals, design systems, and sales enablement materials. Branding encompasses brand strategy, brand systems, messaging frameworks, internal alignment, and brand transitions. Production rounds out the offering with video, post-production, SFX, music design, and motion—handled through a partner called Warehouse Collaborative.

The company positions itself around "human-first" design and brand systems that "scale." In practice, this translates to full-scope rebrands paired with digital execution. Their Unilever Cleanipedia project, completed in 2023, involved complete brand identity overhaul, website redesign, and digital strategy across 25 global markets. Marriott Media (2026) applied similar thinking to a media network targeting travelers. Loho Bride (2025) combined luxury brand refinement with bespoke e-commerce design.

Notable work

Unilever's Cleanipedia rebrand drove measurable results: 2.4 billion views since launch, 38% sales uplift among UK adults under 28, and a Cannes Lions Bronze Award. The platform now reaches nearly 30 million people across 1,000+ articles. Murray Baillie, Brand Lead at Unilever, noted the team was "flexible when changes inevitably had to be made and managed to produce some excellent work."

Marriott Media (launched 2026) targets 193 million+ travelers across Marriott's network, with 260+ million Bonvoy members and 450,000 guest rooms equipped with ad-capable TV screens. Loho Bride's rebrand positioned a luxury bridal boutique as editorial and modern, designed as a curated e-commerce experience rather than a standard catalog. Coastal Wellness MD received brand identity, visual system design, and apparel design to shift from clinical to lifestyle-driven wellness presence.

How they work

The source does not detail engagement model, project timeline, pricing, communication structure, or team composition. Client testimonials suggest flexibility around changes during execution. Projects are typically scoped as full branding plus digital design (website, e-commerce, or digital strategy), rather than discrete module selection.

Team and credentials

No founding year, team size, certifications, partner status, or awards beyond client work are mentioned in the source. Stera lists 10+ completed projects in the portfolio (Unilever, Marriott, Loho Bride, Coastal Wellness, Ninja Proxy, Pomady, Adspire Social, Basetwo AI, Vignette, LeHibou, A27), with work spanning 2022 to 2026. The company maintains a careers page and partnership inquiry form, suggesting active hiring and vendor relationships.
