In college, Stuart started an advertising agency using University of Texas students as creative and media staff. After college, he worked for several notable DFW agencies and started the Balcom Agency in 1993. With his nose for talent and passion for marketing, he has built the Balcom Agency into one of the largest agencies in the Metroplex, with countless awards for its work in marketing, PR, interactive and social media, including the 2018 Southwest Advertising Hall of Fame Governor’s Award. Stuart was also recently named one of Fort Worth’s 400 most influential people by FWinc. Stuart and his wife, Sue, live in Fort Worth and have two sons.B-amazed
