If I wasn’t working for Team Hodges, my day job would be: PR for a major league baseball team (but I don’t want to work nights) or a reviewer for Car and Driver magazine (yet, I can’t drive stick shift).
Proudest professional achievement: This is a team effort, but probably our continued work on SnagAJob.com. It’s been great to grow with SnagAJob in the sense that it began as a start-up business just before THP was founded.
I consider the day a success if:: I’ve done work that I’m proud of and I’ve moved the ball forward on a client’s goals – whether they’re looking to be in a trade journal or something more recognizable like a major city’s daily newspaper.
Outside of the office, you’ll probably find me:Walking the dog (in the rain from November through March thanks to Seattle’s lovely weather) or enjoying a baseball game at Safeco Field with my husband, Chris, as we continue to get to know our new city.
The first/last thing I do at the office each day is:Answer the phone or respond to an offline IM – the East Coasters are always waiting for me! End the day with e-mails or a writing project that requires quiet time because I can catch up after they’ve gone home.
Coffee or tea: Imported Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in the land of Starbucks (God bless the Internet!).
Stacey earned dual degrees in English and journalism – joining The Martin Agency only five days after graduating from the University of Richmond. She was the first non-partner employee at The Hodges Partnership, before moving with her husband, Chris, to Seattle, where she gained additional experience with Waggener Edstrom. She rejoined Hodges – based in Seattle – in 2006. Her community outreach includes mentoring and tutoring at First Place School, which serves homeless children in Seattle. And she shares her office with Dill, a Lab mix.
