Stephen Paul Wright is a Creative Director / Art Director with 15 years of experience creating influential work, leading teams, and shaping brands at award-winning agencies in Shanghai and New York. Having studied film and psychology, he cut his teeth making documentary films before moving into advertising.

He moved to New York with WPP, where he’s spent the past decade. Known for spearheading high-stakes client pitches and leading multidisciplinary teams from concept to execution, his work has helped redefine The Lincoln Motor Company, launch the BBC’s streaming service in America, and shape global platforms for Ford, The Macallan, and RingCentral. He’s reimagined Volvo’s approach to influencer marketing, helped Robinhood navigate a major PR crisis, and sparked a renaissance for multiple Campbell’s brands.

Alongside his agency work, Stephen has built a platform of his own. Over the past year, his channel, RedPen.Sessions, has grown to more than 20,000 followers, sharing insights into the craft of advertising and creative thinking. That momentum has led to an invitation from former W+K CCO Jason Bagley to teach a program through ASAP Guild.
