STEVEN PICANZA
Shaping Brand Experiences Since 2008
Consulting
Working with brands and agencies, my goal is to leverage agile strategy with design thinking to solve complex brand and business challenges.
Educating
Creating a positive ecosystem between student and instructor, my mission is to foster the next generation of business leaders through my highly engaging and interactive approach to education.
Speaking
Speaking on topics such as branding, marketing, customer experience, and the future of brand innovation, I'm an acclaimed international speaker sharing the stage with the worlds top brands and thought-leaders.
Award Winning
As a global brand strategist, podcast host, international speaker and educator, my core purpose is centered around connecting people, products, and organizations with their core audience. In addition to running Latin & Code with Melissa, I’m also a strategic advisor to brands, agencies, and start-ups through my role with The Agency Guy.
Over the course of my career, which has seen me go from professional musician, to agency owner, to start-up founder, I’ve worked with some pretty amazing brands such as The Art of Shaving, MGM Resorts, Active.com, Lacoste, IDG Media, Pieology, OpenEye Global, Boston & Denver Ski Show, ACE Hardware, Securitas Security Services, and Madame Tussauds, to name a few.
In addition, I also hold an Executive Board member position with The San Diego Entertainment & Arts Guild, a non-profit organization I helped create in 2009
