“I’ve been through a lot of adversity. My life is built on setbacks—but that’s where I learned resilience and discipline.”

​

Adam Stevenson’s 30+ year track record of building successful, consumer-facing businesses is rooted in discipline, perspective, and the people he’s elevated along the way.

​

Growing up in Detroit shaped his resilience and drive, while his Greek-American upbringing instilled the value of relationships—both of which remain central to how he leads today.

 

REDEFINING BUSINESS STRATEGY

​

“It’s about people, purpose, process, and profit. You can win—but it has to be done the right way.”

​

From the start, Adam has built businesses with a mindful, ethical approach—balancing performance with integrity. As co-founder of Grass Roots Records, LLC, he helped pioneer a 360-degree profit-sharing model, reinforcing his belief that when teams grow together, they succeed together.

​

That philosophy continues to guide his ventures—creating not just financial success, but meaningful, purpose-driven outcomes.

 

ELEVATING PEOPLE AND PERFORMANCE

​

“People are at the heart of everything I do. I push, I challenge, and I elevate.”

​

In 1996, Adam founded ADROC Productions South, Inc., building it into a global, full-service agency grounded in what he calls “The Human Connection.”

​

Over the past 25+ years, he has led teams managing over $4B in marketing and advertising programs, working with brands like Frank’s RedHot, LVMH and Ferrari

​

His entrepreneurial reach extends globally—from co-founding ventures like Champagne Cattier in France and Greek Lightning in Greece, to Xtreme Xperience in USA, the largest supercar driving experience in North America.

​

“I look for good people—good energy, clear focus, and passion. I’m not creating clones—I’m bringing out the best in people.”

​

Adam’s legacy is defined not just by the businesses he’s built, but by the people he’s helped grow—leaders, partners, and teams who continue to elevate alongside him.
