About me

Steve is known for being a creative champion, a successful business founder and an effective network leader. His mantra "None of us are as creative as all of us", ensures everyone contributes and their opinions count. His approach is to nurture inclusivity and collaboration, building teams that want to work together.

Since joining Wunderman Thompson as Chief Creative Officer in early 2019, the agency's creative output has gone from strength to strength. Working with the likes of HSBC, BT, Macallan, KitKat and Microsoft, Wunderman Thompson has produced brilliant, effective and culturally engaging work across the entire customer journey. Under Steve's leadership the agency has produced a record number of award wins, 180 and counting. Including 6 Cannes Lions, one of the UK's nine D&AD Yellow Pencils, metal at the Caples, Creative Circle, Eurobest, Lovies, Marketing Week Masters and Fab, to name a few.

Prior to Wunderman Thompson, Steve co-founded the creative agency Partners Andrews Aldridge, which won over 200 awards including Agency of the Decade once and Agency of the Year twice. Partners Andrews Aldridge became part of the Engine Group, a full-service agency, in 2008, where Steve held the title of Group ECD.
