How Did We Get Loaded?

Loaded Creative Founder and Creative Director Mark D. Dello Stritto has a 16-year background in marketing and advertising – having cut his creative teeth in the mid-nineties as an Art Director and Graphic Designer for two award-winning super-regional Advertising Agencies in Pittsburgh, PA.

The tremendous experience of his early career across local, national and international brands – prompted Mark to jump on an opportunity to relocate to the State College area and work for an Agency based in Happy Valley, prior to striking out on his own.

The driving force of this decision to establish Loaded Creative was one of simplicity: Mark believed Central Pennsylvania could do better than it was doing as far as marketing and advertising is concerned.

As a seasoned Art Director, Designer, Producer and traditional Agency veteran, Mark readily saw that the local market could benefit from a fresh infusion of higher-level work and intensive creative thinking. He saw an opportunity to offer high-end creative without being high-priced.

Mark understood how a region built on common-sense values could gravitate to the simple idea that marketing dollars should yield better results for clients large and small.

Mark and his wife have lived in the area for almost nine years and are enamored with Happy Valley and Central Pennsylvania. They have one daughter, Anna. (His greatest creative endeavor to date!)
