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.

Cassandra joined Stackpole for an internship opportunity from Endicott College. She is a junior studying marketing communication and advertising with a concentration in political science. With prior intern experience in social media, digital media, and advertising, if Cassandra were to write a book about her career so far, she’d name it “Figuring it all out." This is Cassandra’s third internship, but the first one in-person. She loves the collaboration of working in an office and working remotely does appeal to her, and that’s why Stackpole is the best of both worlds in working in a hybrid environment. Cassandra grew up as a competitive figure skater and practiced right down the road at the Graf Rink. The competitiveness in her allows her to strive to come out on top both professionally and academically. She stresses the importance of real work experience through internships, and that no matter how many hours of in-class lectures she sits through, there is nothing like learning from experts themselves in a real work environment.
We help brands identify the often hard-to-define intangibles that set them apart, and then craft and effectively tell their stories across any and all appropriate channels. It’s what we do, and we’d like to do it for you.
