Meet Stephen Peate

How did he get here?

Stephen began his career nearly three decades ago. Along his journey, he’s worked for printers, book publishers, and advertising agencies – helping businesses like Marks & Spencers, Vodafone and HBOS.

For Stephen, it’s essential to ensure he’s down in the weeds – sketching ideas, creating brands and coming up with names. He’s renamed watches, medication, charities, and shipping. Whatever the sector, Stephen likely has experience. Always striving to delve into the next mystery, he looks for those projects he can fully immerse himself and dig into the research.

And it’s the projects with a significant transformational impact that Stephen finds the most rewarding. Whether a huge business or a small start-up, spotting that unique angle that gets the client into a new market or unlocks a new audience excites him the most.

What drives Stephen?

Always on the move, you’ll often spot Stephen on his bike, cycling off into the Kent countryside. He often wonders if he would’ve been a miner if they hadn’t shut down all the pits back home.
