About me
Arthur has come a long way from the streets of Queens, NY. His career included stints in sales (Xerox) and marketing (Kraft/General Foods) before deciding on a life in advertising. In starting john st. in 2001, his goal was to create a “creative collaborative” without the silos, or bureaucracy or territorialism he’d seen in his previous lives. He believes creativity is a powerful business tool and has led his team to win more advertising effectiveness awards than any other agency in the last decade. Arthur is a passionate advocate for children with autism and his best-selling book, Carly’s Voice, has been translated into six languages.
