Our story
The Imaginarium was founded by Scott Stedman, a creative leader who has spent his career building best-in-class brands, teams, and cultural momentum.
He’s held senior roles across global agency groups—including MDC Partners (now Stagwell), Havas, and Arnold Worldwide—where he saw firsthand how siloed thinking and legacy structures limited what marketing could be.
Before The Imaginarium, Scott founded Northside Media Group, hailed by TechCrunch as “a Brooklyn-based media and events mini-empire,” and later co-founded TOURISTS, which was recently voted the #1 boutique hotel in the world.
