Stokely Howard

Stokely began his career in television at just 18, starting out as a runner at ITV before working his way up to producer within three years. After realising he wanted to carve his own path, he bought a camera and started shooting nightclub videos in Manchester at night, while producing commercials for major brands like Virgin Media and Pizza Express during the day. That drive led him back to Norwich, where he co-founded Trendy Grandad with his childhood friend Adam.

Over the past decade, Stokely has built Trendy Grandad into a world-leading social-first & Youtube-first creative agency, working with brands such as QuickBooks, Welltech, and National Geographic. As Creative Director, he now leads the agency’s vision across YouTube, social, and performance content—helping clients achieve standout results through bold storytelling, smart strategy, and a deep understanding of what makes audiences engage.
