The Sonoma Stompers Professional Baseball Club has introduced Jonathan Stone to serve as the team’s Director of Sponsorship Sales.
Stone, who worked for the Stompers’ Guest Services Department during the 2015 season brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm after a long career in marketing and advertising to companies throughout North America.
“Jonathan did a fantastic job for us as part of our fan experience team last summer, and we think he’ll do great in this capacity as well,” team vice president and general manager Theo Fightmaster said. “He showed great concern for our fans at the ballpark, and I’m sure that passion will translate to the type of relationship he’ll forge with our partners and sponsors.”
In 1988 Stone founded Another Dancing Bear Productions, a nationally recognized leader in the promotional advertising industry. In 2014 he sold his San Francisco business of 26 years and moved to Sonoma with the idea of retiring to the good life. But the strong desire to work and good baseball lured him to the Stompers. Stone has been with the organization since the spring of 2015, helping the team with day of the game events, marketing, merchandising and advertising. This new role will get him out into the community including all of Sonoma County.
In San Francisco, Stone served on the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce as well as many other business, charitable and non-profit organizations. He has already jumped in representing the team in a number of Sonoma related projects.
The Newton, Mass. native currently resides in Schellville. He has one son away at college.
