Hello!

I’m Steve Strand, a hands-on creative founder from Portland, Oregon. I seriously love creating sports entertainment. I spent the past decade defining Nike’s approach to social media and crafting stories that made an impact on culture by championing equality, diversity, and the power of human potential.

Along the way, I was fortunate to partner with hundreds of athletes to tell their stories. Resulting in being recognized on award-winning teams for some of the world’s most iconic brands.

This year, I partnered with longtime collaborators from the sports, brand, media, and entertainment world to build a media group focused on the future of sports entertainment, straight from the source.

On the side, I’m available to collaborate on projects that make the world a better place. If interested, let’s chat.

Outside of work, I spend my time with my family and surfing.
