Background

About Mark D. dello Stritto

Mark D. Dello Stritto - Entrepreneur, Founder, Creative Director - Marketing & Advertising I have nearly 30 years of award-winning experience in marketing and advertising, spanning local, grassroots initiatives to international marketing campaigns. I’ve provided comprehensive creative strategy based on client advertising and marketing objectives and have overseen, developed, directed, produced and designed creative concepts and campaigns in all forms of media. I've built solid relationships with my clients, employees and vendors, and have been a leader, counselor and mentor to students and colleagues. My background includes agency art direction experience at Pittsburgh firms, The St. George Group and FSC Marketing. I relocated to State College, PA and brought a unique combination of creative leadership and technical savvy to my work for The Barash Group agency and its clients. In 2006, after years of burning the midnight oil on my many independent freelance projects, I resigned from Barash to embark on my first entrepreneurial endeavor, Loaded Creative. After 13 years successfully managing Loaded Creative, I sold the firm and became Co-Owner, President and Chief Creative Officer at Blink Advertising, an advertising and video production agency with offices in Pittsburgh and Bellefonte, PA. I co-own Qujam, a self-served geofencing platform, founded the regional website, Bellefonte.com, founded [CP]2 - the Central PA Creative Professionals, and I'm a founding Board Member of Downtown Bellefonte Inc.
