Stiel Direct LLC originally began in 1978 as Ad-Vans
Advertising in Newport Beach, California. Our founder, Dan Stiel, started the company as a means to pay his tuition as
a student at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business.
Our first clients in the late 1970s and early 1980s
included some of Southern California's most innovative and successful regional financial institutions of the time, including
Bank of America, Santa Monica Bank, Bank of Newport, National Bank of Whittier, and many others.
After graduating from USC in 1983, Dan went to
work in the marketing department at First Interstate Bancorp (acquired by Wells Fargo in 1996) where he developed his
career over the next eleven years beginning in Market Research and quickly progressing through Marketing Services, Product
Management, and Vice President, Marketing Director for its Southern California operations. Dan followed this success
with senior level marketing assignments at Visa USA and Circle K Stores, Inc.
In 1999, Stiel Direct was launched
and focused towards national and international financial services clients seeking innovative and effective marketing solutions
in a constantly changing and challenging business climate. Clients included some of the nation's largest financial institutions,
retailers, and manufacturers.
In 2008, we spun-off our special
events business into a new company called NWA Festivals, which creates and manages large scale expos and festivals to
benefit local charitable organizations.
The following is a partial list of clients
and brands served since 1999.
