Summary Resume:

After I graduated from UCLA in marketing & advertising I served in the Peace Corps as a 2-year volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I began my marketing career in Helsinki, Finland at Minosyutama, a Finnish marketing company as a creative consultant and later with Richard K. Manoff in New York City as an Art Director. I then worked as a Creative Supervisor at Bloom Advertising and The Richards Group in Dallas, Texas.

For the last 25 years I have been a principal in my own businesses. I began in 1972 by joining Ed Rose to form Rose & Stone, Inc. of Santa Ana, CA where we developed a 12-person agency that was half consumer and half high-tech. Ed retired to Oregon and I started Douglas Stone & Associates as an Advertising/Design firm where we employed 6 office/account staff.

In 1980 I merged with Tom Gillen and formed Gillen Stone, Inc. of Newport Beach. We developed a thriving consumer and direct response that employed 55 persons until 1984 when Tom died of cancer. After Tom's death I formed Douglas Stone + Partners with Ed Lohnes until 1993 when I moved to New Mexico to escape the "Orange County Crush".

The legacy of these firms is their almost endless list of principals and employees that populate many well-know Southland companies. I have guided or directed dozens of companies in their marketing, advertising and promotional efforts with hands-on responsibility in every phase of their business as well as running my own companies for many years.

In each of these firms, my responsibility was to manage the "business" affairs (accounting, billing, employees relations, etc.) of the company and function as the Creative Director and Account Services Supervisor.

Douglas,
Hi there, you gave me my first 'assoc. art director job' out of college. You worked for a short time at A&M Associates in Phoenix, before you realized you were way above them in talent. My husband and I own a Art Gallery on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington state, I just thought I would 'google' your name and I got this page. Hope all is well, wanted to say hello and really thank you for my opportunity and for teaching me about design, type, layout a basis that I have used throughout
my career.
