In 1995, having 10 years of advertising experience behind him, Peter decided to strike out on his own and launched Stackpole. His vision was to create an agency that fosters strong working relationships with a select group of clients who share his belief that building and maintaining a leading brand requires a long-term commitment to a strategic communications program. After nearly 25 years of managing successful client relationships, Peter can confidently say that this philosophy continues to appeal to his clients and staff.
As Director of Client Services, Peter remains a primary client contact, involved in all aspects of strategic development, communications planning, and concept development. He also has a wealth of experience presenting programs to CEOs, boards of directors and top-tier management, and supporting the internal sell-through that is often critical to building momentum within the client organization.
Peter also sits on the Board of Advisors for Vetter, a FinTech startup in the loan automation category, and has been invited to speak at several Bank and Accounting Conferences including NEFMA, ICBA National Conference, ICBANY and Financial Brand.
