Mark Stone Gives Aspiring Creative Professionals Advice

DS News / 4.9.21

Our chief creative officer, Mark Stone, recently served as a panelist for RIT’s School of Communications students to connect with local creative leaders whose teams received gold and silver honors at this year’s ADDY Awards ceremony.

Mark offered stories and advice to the student participants alongside Jeremy Schwartz from Truth Collective, Pete VonDerlinn from Flynn and Dan O’Donnell from Partners. The event was moderated by Barry Strauber from RIT.

Each panelist talked about how they broke into the marketing and creative industry and their individual career paths, offered tips and advice for landing a job in this industry, and talked about why Rochester is a great place to live and work as a creative professional.

Inspiring the next generation of creative professionals is important, and Mark is committed to doing just that!
