about brad Stauffer

 

Brad Stauffer, President & Founder, Stauffer Media
Brad Stauffer is passionate about publishing and small businesses. That passion led him to create Stauffer Media™, a publishing consultancy and marketing firm. After almost 25 years serving in senior management positions in business-to-business and consumer media and publishing companies, Brad joined the entrepreneurial community as a publishing consultant and branding and marketing specialist. He soon realized that small business and solo-entrepreneurs were missing out on bigger business strategy, experience and resources. Meanwhile, he also noticed that publishing companies could use some of the guerilla-based, low-cost and hands-on marketing techniques that entrepreneurs were using. So as a traditional- and web-marketing junkie, Brad enjoys bringing creative, efficient and economic solutions to his clients in media companies and small businesses.

 

Prior to launching Stauffer Media, Brad served as Chief Operating Officer of Trade News International and previously, was Senior Vice President of Operations at 101communications (now 1105 Media), a business-to-business publisher. Prior to 101, Brad was General Manager and Director of Operations at Bobit Publishing (now Bobit Business Media); Associate Publisher/Director of Operations for San Francisco Focus Magazine (now Modern Luxury’s San Francisco), where he was responsible for launching new products and brand extensions, as well as KQED Books & Video. Brad was also Assistant Publisher & Director of Operations at Creative Age Publications and worked with several other publishers. In addition, he was co-owner and Publisher of choice Magazine, the magazine of professional coaching and is now their business coach and consultant. He is also currently Associate Publisher (consulting) with the new Los Angeles start-up magazine for successful single men and women: Singular.

 

In addition to Stauffer Media, Brad is co-founder of Inspired on Demand, a business development program for solo-entrepreneurs. He and his business partner Leslie Lupinsky train hundreds of solo-entrepreneurs annually in visioning, client engagement, branding and marketing and financial independence to create thriving businesses.
