Steve Canal, co-founder of ONE Venture Group, is building cultural moments that move fast, feel personal and scale like a business plan. At "ONE Musicfest," he helped shape the Southeast’s biggest urban progressive music festival into a multistage juggernaut, stacking world-class talent, locking in major brand partners and pulling 161 million social views plus 8.5 billion media impressions. For "She’s Got Time: Women in Sports," he drove vision and content strategy for a summit that grew 50% in a year and proved there’s real power in showing up for women on and off the field. At Spelhouse Homecoming—a mashup of HBCUs Spellman and Morehouse Colleges—he led the "P&G HBCYOU Tour" takeover, turning a brand activation into a campus-wide flex with 16 brands, live performances and 25,000 samples flying out the door. Steve builds with intention but never plays it safe — his events show up, sell out and start conversations that brands want in on.
