George Stonbely revolutionized outdoor advertising in 1975 with the launch of the famous Spectacolor signs, which, in a historic first, used computers to program billboards into full-color broadcast media with changeable messages.

The launch of Spectacolor in Times Square led to over 50 other Spectacolor system installations in Europe, South America and the Middle East, as well as in America. In addition, Spectacolor expanded its presence at many of the famous crossroads of the world locations and created iconic “spectaculars” for many S&P/Fortune 500 companies. In another first, Stonbely partnered with SONY & installed the world’s first JUMBOTRON video sign in Times Square in 1990 which ushered in the video sign revolution around the world.

By 2000, Spectacolor became the premiere spectacular advertising company in the world, operating in over 30 international cities, and formed a joint venture with Clear Channel Communications to become Clear Channel Spectacolor (“CCS’), where Stonbely became Chairman. As Chairman of CCS, Stonbely was responsible for the joint marketing of the company's spectaculars and broadcast assets in the NYC market.

Stonbely was actively involved in the Times Square renaissance as well as the successful civic and legislative efforts at maintaining Broadway’s landmarked theaters and Times Square’s historic “Bright Lights.” (1982 Special Midtown Zoning District). In 1988, Stonbely brought London’s legendary Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum to Times Square where it established its iconic presence on 42nd Street.

SV is currently developing plans for Spectacular Cities, the quintessential attraction about NYC’s past, present and future, which is planned to open in late 2023. SV maintains an active consultancy service to provide marketing, advertising & sponsorship activations and valuations for tourist attractions and real estate development companies.

In addition to his position as a founding director of the Times Square Alliance (BID) and the Mayor’s Midtown Citizen’s Committee, Stonbely is active in a number of international, regional and local charitable organizations, including the UN Delegations Hospitality Committee, Regional Plan Association (NY Committee), Encore Senior Center, The Partnership For Drug-Free Kids, and is a Director of Inside Broadway and past Vice Chairman of the Little Sisters of The Assumption Family Health Service in East Harlem. He is on the Executive Committee of the Carnegie Hill Neighbors, and the Steering Committee for the founding of the East 86th Street Business Improvement District.

In 2001, the Stonbely Family Foundation created the UNICEF Snowflake, which is suspended at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in New York City.  The companion UNICEF Snowflake Gala Ball has raised more than $60 million since its launch.

Additional Snowflakes have been launched in Beverly Hills with future sites planned in Paris and Tokyo. Current plans are in development for an annual network UNICEF Snowflake All-Star Special for the 2021 Holiday Season.
