Stacy Miller, Account Executive

Stacy joined the Power Marketing team as account executive in October of 2010. An energetic sales professional who takes pride in her relationships, Stacy works with clients to formulate a plan to effectively market, advertise and brand their business. "I enjoy the relationships that I have with people and being able to work closely with businesses," she says.

With a degree in art from Hagerstown Community College, Stacy gained valuable sales and marketing experience in the field over the past seven years. She previously worked as a marketing associate at Hub Labels and advertising sales director at Hagerstown magazine before joining the Power Marketing team. Always interested in working with new people, Stacy is a member of various business networking groups, including Business Networking International. She participates in a Maryland Symphony Orchestra focus group, the Miss Washington County Scholarship Foundation and Project 320 (www.project320.org).

Stacy is a born and raised Hagerstonian who truly values her family, including her siblings, her goddaughter Jocelyn and her nephew Mason, who is always quick to put a smile on everyone's faces. And the Power Marketing team loves the occasional visit from Stacy's oh-so-cute Yorkshire terrier, Brunswick. In her spare time, Stacy loves spending time outside, plays the piano, sings (especially in her car) and looks forward to her yearly family trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Jon King, MIRM, Creative Director

A Power Marketing team member since May of 2000, Jon leads the force by overseeing every project in the office. He works closely with clients to ensure that they not only receive what they asked, but that each job is completed efficiently and effectively. "It's really fun and rewarding taking an idea and turning it into something that helps our clients," he says. "It's also the kind of job where it's impossible to get bored because we always have to keep on our toes and learn something new each day."

In 1998, Jon interned with Power Marketing and went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from Shepherd University. He became a MIRM (Master in Residential Marketing) in 2006, the most prestigious designation given by the Institute of Residential Marketing and the top-level achievement for professionals in new home marketing.

Growing up overseas in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the Philippines instilled a global perspective and an appreciation for culture in Jon, as well as a passion for "the beautiful game" of soccer and the beach. He married his beautiful wife Jenn in May of 2005, and they enjoy traveling to Ocean City, Md., six or seven times a year — as does their dog, Marley.
