Steve’s role is multifunctional. “Mostly, I just try to not get in the way,” is how he’d describe his work to a 10-year-old. But in reality, he’s a crucial piece of our puzzle. One day, he’ll be in the office overseeing the production of commissioned content, making sure everyone in the production team is on the same page. The next, he’ll be meeting with clients to fully understand their priorities and needs, and getting to the nitty gritties of our partnerships. Other days, he’ll be heading meetings or meeting new talent (or even watering our office plants). He’s an all-round leader.

He’s always been a creative and worked in agencies of all shapes and sizes, until the day Steve decided to create something unique within that world. He wanted to produce content that exceeded expectations, and he wanted to work in an agile way. So he founded distillery.

Steve is a self-described “massive fan” of American trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker (but mainly for his trumpet skills, Steve emphasises). Quiz him on his knowledge of Baker’s back catalogue–if you like jazz, you’re in for a treat.
