Steve Nash
Founder - CD Writer
An advertising veteran, Steve has created successful offline and online campaigns for many of the world’s most prominent companies. Steve has also achieved success in writing outside of advertising. He is the co-author of the The Animal Review, a humor book that was published by Bloomsbury, USA and featured on NPR and CNN. In 2016 it was turned into a TV show on Animal Planet starring Anthony Anderson. Finally, any bio of Steve would be terribly incomplete without mention of Winston, his King Charles Cavalier. He is arguably the best dog ever.
