About Taylor Stonack

I build experiences people feel.I grew up in hospitality–opening bars and restaurants, training teams, and learning every side of the guest journey. That “serve people well” DNA followed me into corporate recruiting at Alterra Mountain Company and later into brand marketing, social, and field activations for food & beverage and lifestyle brands. I’ve led programs, coached creators and teams, and worked the booth myself–Topo Chico, Simply Pop, and more–because the best ideas start with real conversations.Today I blend ops discipline with playful creativity: clear calendars, clean reporting, and on-brand content that moves the needle. Recent wins include standing up editorial systems and campaign kits at 8z Real Estate (department revenue up 250%; agents saw 20–75% engagement lifts after onboarding). For clients like Copper Door Coffee, Morepeas, and community nonprofits, I focus on story-first marketing that feels human, not “market-y.”What I’m great at:Field marketing & events: staffing, run-of-show, timesheets/expenses, vendor wrangling, and post-mortems that turn learnings into actionPartnerships & community: outreach, relationship management, and programs that create genuine brand loveContent & social: short-form video, thought-leadership packaging, and simple systems teams actually useI care about small businesses, great service, and making work more fun. Denver-based, mountains (and the ocean) in my heart, forever team “let’s make it happen.”Open to: field marketing, community/partnerships, experiential, and hospitality-driven roles. Let’s connect–or message me if you’re cooking up something people will talk about.
