Steve Cochran has led Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand as Chief Creative Officer since 2021 helping to grow the agency considerably over that time. His 35 years of experience impressively includes a 24-year stint at Colenso BBDO, where he enjoyed the many accolades won there across two memorable decades.

Steve loves nothing more than turning strategic thinking into work that is emotional, provocative, playful, or just plain interesting. His back catalog proves this with numerous iconic New Zealand campaigns and globally awarded work. He names projects for Air New Zealand, Yellow Pages, and Toyota as some of his career highlights. But, as someone who’s been doing it as long as he has, he still remains curious enough to believe his best work is ahead of him.
