Steven Picanza

"Creativity isn't a hobby. It’s a way of life.” Steven is driven to improve not only himself, but the people and world around him. As a brand strategist, this translates to forging partnerships and conceiving new opportunities through one-on-one conversations. It is this positive outlook, coupled with his sheer candor and entrepreneurial spirit that drives him to bring authenticity back into advertising, serve as a catalyst for progress in the industry and inspire the next generation to do the same. Born and raised on Long Island, Steven brings his New York hustle to the west coast, pocket square and all. When he’s not busy watching baseball and soccer or chatting up prospects, he is performing with his jazz band, speaking at conferences nationwide or writing.
