Ant Stone is Director of Marketing, EMEA for G Adventures, leading a marketing and communications team responsible for promoting the brand for the right reasons, and driving commercial objectives in both the consumer and trade markets.

Ant began his career in advertising, with seven decisive years at media giant Bauer, before switching things up with a one-way ticket to Moscow, to kickstart a four year adventure across Asia and Australasia. During that time, Ant established himself as one of the world’s leading travel bloggers, before he came back to earth and pivoted into marketing, with pioneering youth travel retailer, STA Travel.

During his seven years with STA Travel, Ant developed and delivered many of the industry’s most prolific global marketing partnerships, combining award-winning creative campaigns, with peak commercial success.

In May 2017, his path led to small group adventure tour operator G Adventures, as the company’s first director of marketing. During his leadership tenure, the G Adventures team have enjoyed record-breaking success, earning the coveted ‘grand slam’ of industry awards; delivering outstanding marketing services to their industry partners; award-winning brand campaigns; and driving new heights in revenue growth, year after year (except ‘that’ year).

Ant lives in East London, where he enjoys spending time with his young family, and fine-tuning the balance between a massive love for food, and a mild love for running.
