Stanley's marketing career started at the University of Oregon where he took courses in advertising, journalism and computer engineering.  He put his marketing and business knowledge to work in 1999, when he started a website design and Internet domain name company.  His business profited for six years from cutting edge viral marketing and high Internet traffic and ad revenue on his own websites.   He also designed websites for a variety of business segments, including several Photography supply companies and Proctor and Gamble's successful product, Sunny Delight.  

As the Internet based business climate changed, Stanley decided to take a career opportunity in 2004 to work as an Account Executive for the Gannett owned newspaper, the Statesman Journal in Salem Oregon.  As a media representative, Stanley received extensive training and hands on experience with negotiating contracts, developing advertising campaigns that delivered results for his customers and learning about the Salem market.

In August of 2006, Stanley founded Your Marketing Department.  He created his own advertising and promotions agency because he wanted to be able to devote more time to developing creative marketing solutions for each of his customers.  His mission is to help businesses grow.  Not every company has the need or the means to have their own marketing department.  Stanley specializes in putting together custom marketing solutions that make since for your unique business needs.  Your Marketing Department is a marketing director for hire when you need it.
