About me

BRADFORD STONE




Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a highly accomplished hybrid Creative Director with a passion for design and years of creative and problem solving experience. I have managed and mentored many teams, with a stellar track record of corporate and agency experience implementing branding, brand boards, style guides, advertising and online marketing strategies and campaigns for all types of companies from start-ups to Fortune 500's in 10 vertical markets. Clients have included: Mercedes Benz, Toyota, Microsoft, Disney, Universal, Sun Microsystems, Sony, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Guess, Macy's, Universal Studios, Neutrogena, Body & Soul Cosmetics, Pacific Care, Cigna Health, Glacier Bay Vodka, and Nextel, just to name a few.

I have spent my career split between in-house corporate advertising divisions and ad agencies, then started my own successful consulting business - Stone Advertising, Inc. Now that Stone Advertising has recently sold in 2013, I am anxious to become part of an internet advertising and branding team so that I can continue to facilitate my passion as creative director.

I am an effective leader that inspires creative collaboration in a team environment. As an award- winning creative director, I have been responsible for sales, budgets, presentations, photo direction, and production for all internet advertising and branding for up to five brands and/or accounts at once. For each brand or account, I have grown and developed solid client relationships while concurrently pursuing new business (B2B and B2C).

I contributed to the development of digital and marketing strategies, articulated and defended conceptual and directional choices, and typically managed the collaborative efforts of each project's creative team. I actively contributed to an environment of professional growth, and inspired teammates at all levels to exceed expectations.

Additionally, I have a strong working knowledge of user-centered experience design, brand development, online advertising, and the overall creative process. My colleagues recommend me highly for my persuasive presentation skills. Several creative campaigns and case histories are evidenced on the Stone Advertising website at . I would like to explore how I can inspire new successes and increase revenues for your organization.

Sincerely, Brad Stone
