Ellen Stone

Known for buzzy marketing campaigns like last fall’s “Vandercrawl”—an interactive marketing/social media campaign that had the cast of “Vanderpump Rules” leading an NYC bar crawl—Stone knows how to capture an audience’s attention. This year she also put her gifts to use in rebranding Oxygen into a crime-focused destination. Given her work at Bravo, it seems appropriate that Sharon Morris of “Catastrophe” is her favorite female TV character. “She takes on any challenges life throws at her with humor, tenacity and a little self-preservation,” Stone says.
