Stokely Howard

Stokely is the Creative Director at Trendy Grandad - a global YouTube-first strategy and production company helping brands like Red Bull, Netflix, L'Oréal and QuickBooks grow on YouTube. He's a keynote speaker on YouTube growth, hosts a podcast interviewing leading YouTubers on their journey to success, and has been recognised with a Rising Star Award for his work in the space.

Today, Stokely works with brands across the UK, USA and UAE, helping them turn underused channels into proper audience-building engines and unlock their full growth potential on YouTube.

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