About Stephen Mai

My journey started with a vision to help brands tell stories that serve the audiences they are trying to reach. I’ve been lucky enough to create genuine commercial and cultural impact for zeitgeist brands such as VICE, LADbible, I-D, Boiler Room, MTV, Potatohead,ASOS and Woo (e-commerce and media brand (funded by ITV). With a focus on driving compelling communication and social ecosystems designed to cut through and subvert tired troupes that prevail in marketing. I specialise in creating award winning campaigns and strategy designed drive commercial objectives and brand equity. Having led teams of over 40 people in fast paced businesses my strategic approach is always underwritten by an operational foundation and executional expertise. I’ve been invited to speak on culture and Gen Z for brands like Ikea, Nike, Apple, On, Disney, Mars, Pepsi Co, Adidas, Warner Brothers, VCCP and beyond. I’ve also led keynotes and panels at AdWeek, Masters of Marketing, Cannes Lion, YMS London, D and AD, Soho House and more. I have been featured in hundreds of press titles including Forbes, Creative Review, AdWeek, Contagious, It’s Nice That, Mashable and GQ.Let's create something remarkable together!Check out my work here: www.stephenmaithings.com
