About Derrick Stembridge

With over 20 years of experience spanning public relations, brand strategy, and creative marketing, I specialize in shaping high-impact campaigns at the intersection of innovation and culture. From Web3 and blockchain to gaming, consumer electronics, and pro audio—I help brands tell better stories, launch smarter, and grow globally.As VP of Global Public Relations at Xsolla, a global video game commerce platform, I lead international communications strategy, media relations, and executive visibility. I’ve worked across global markets to amplify major partnerships, product launches, and Web3 initiatives—building momentum for developers and platforms shaping the future of digital commerce.Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with iconic brands like Nike, Sony, Apple, Sega, Harman, Pioneer, and Motorola, driving integrated campaigns that span gaming, B2B SaaS, blockchain, and emerging technologies. I also serve as an advisor at Labile Media Group, where I guide companies on brand development, PR strategy, and innovation storytelling.Outside of tech and business, I’m the founder of Labile Records, a future-facing electronic music label distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, and the composer/producer behind the project Drifting In Silence, with works featured in film, television, and immersive experiences.Whether launching a new Web3 platform, refining messaging for a product at scale, or composing cinematic ambient soundscapes, I bring creative precision and strategic insight to every project. I believe in the power of storytelling, emerging tech, and collaboration to move industries and people forward.
