Hello, I’m Stephen Carpenter—a creative consultant based in London, and yes, this is the part where I talk about how amazing I am to convince you to allocate your annual marketing budget to me.
Recognised among the top 33 creative directors out of 50,000+, I work with both startups and global brands, delivering strategic, actionable solutions that drive growth and help clients achieve their goals.
With over 20 years in art, design, and film, my work is powered by a blend of tech, data, and instinct. I’ve led award-winning teams and collaborated with brands like adidas, Stella McCartney, and Coca-Cola. My approach is highly collaborative, crafting measurable, impactful solutions that elevate brands worldwide.
My creative journey has been anything but conventional—from creating graffiti signage as a teen, DJ-ing on pirate radio, to consulting for leading global brands.
I’m passionate about mentoring diverse creative teams and ensuring our work aligns with current trends and business goals, consistently pushing for innovation and lasting impact.
