Stev Elam
Creative Director

Stev Elam doesn't just create spots, he reveals people and their personal connection to the products, places, hopes and dreams of their daily lives.  Sometimes they are actors with honed skills and talent, other times they are real people with unique life experiences. But under Elam's direction, the performances are always honest, emotionally intelligent, and above all, human. Whether it's a shy little girl with a hole in her heart, or five-time Emmy nominee, Jill Eikenberry and husband, Michael Tucker, Olympic Gold Medallist Tara Lipinski, or Larry King and Vice President Dan Quayle, Elam guides them to the heart of the story.

This approach has proved particularly effective and memorable for such healthcare clients as Aventis, Merck Pharmaceuticals, Spotlight Health, Children's Miracle Network, and the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, where connecting personally to the viewer is a must. Elam knows how to deliver not only what the creative demands, but he's also well versed in the rigorous rules and standards of pharmaceutical advertising.

Elam has brought this level of honest storytelling, strong visuals and subtle humor to his Snickers, Gateway Computers and Nike spots. Most recently, he completed a PSA on Internet safety geared at teens and their parents which was featured on Good Morning America.
