Background

About Stephen Schmidt

Some people call me crazy but most just call me Stephen. But what's in a name anyway? My name doesn't tell you where I went to school (Ohio University), what I majored in (advertising management), or even when I graduated (August '93). My name doesn’t say a thing about my personality (calm, cool and collected), my intelligence (smart, very smart), my enthusiasm (exuberant), or my passions (people and marketing). My name doesn't tell you about the variety of clients I've worked for (too many to list), the positions I've held (Creative Director @ nCountR for RRD, Senior Marketing & Client Solutions Manager for Cox Media, Client Solutions Director for Time Warner Cable Media, Regional Marketing and Products Director for Time Warner Cable Media, Digital Advertising Sales and Marketing Manager for Time Warner Cable Media Sales, Strategic Marketing Manager for Charter Media, Creative Director for Sandbox Productions, Creative Services Manager for Comcast Spotlight, Creative Services Manager and Creative Director for Time Warner Cable Media Sales, Long Format Production Supervisor, Writer/Producer and Photo Advertising Consultant for TCI Media Services), the awards I've won (I can show them to you but they're really heavy), or any of my future goals (a nice career, some big name clients, a healthy salary, a wife named Regina, 2.3 kids, a mortgage or two, a garage full of cars, an indoor sand volleyball court, a cat, maybe a dog, my own ad agency and to tour the world with RKDC). In fact, if it weren't for my parents (Ann and Jerry) insisting on naming me Stephen, I might just be called Crazy.
