Basic principles: attraction, conversion, retention.

Strategic marketing consultant providing clear creative solutions for business growth.

Hello, I’m Stephen Carpenter—a London-based creative accelerator. I help businesses and brands unlock untapped potential, boost sales, and achieve measurable results.

Recognised as one of the top 30 creative directors in London’s advertising and startup space, I specialise in transforming big ideas into actionable strategies that drive growth. Whether you’re a startup looking to scale or an established brand seeking fresh momentum, my approach combines creativity, insight, and an unwavering focus on results.

With over 20 years of experience managing my own agency and collaborating with brands like adidas, Stella McCartney, and Coca-Cola and across most sectors, I’ve learned that true success isn’t just about technology or data—it’s about instinct, vision, and human connection. While Ai and analytics are powerful tools, it’s the human mind and perspective that create the kind of ideas that reshape industries.

My career has been anything but conventional: from crafting graffiti signage as a teen and DJ-ing on pirate radio and in clubs during the ’90s, to leading award-winning teams for global brands. This diverse journey gives me a unique ability to spot opportunities others might overlook and create tailored solutions that align with your goals.

I’m passionate about helping brands and businesses like yours stand out, accelerate growth, and build sustainable success. My collaborative approach ensures that every solution is not only innovative but also aligned with your vision, delivering immediate and lasting impact.
