OUR Proven Process
We have a proven process that sets us for success. Out of this process, we aim to truly understand your story and objectives, have clearly defined goals and objectives and a shared understanding of the scope and priorities. Here’s what it looks like:
Discovery Session
This is where it all starts. We want to get to know you, hear your story and discuss your objectives and needs. This is where we get to know each other and get the information we need to come up with a plan.
Internal Conversation
From the information gathered in our discovery session, we’ll brainstorm, discuss options and ideas, as well as talk to our partners and our network, if needed. We want to think about things from all angles and leave no stone unturned.
Proposal
Eventually, things get refined. So, we’ll take our ideas and put them down on paper. We come up with a deck and a proposal to show you how we think we need to move forward.
Discussion
Ideally, we get together and go over our proposal and have a team discussion. What did we do right… and where did we miss the mark. Here, we change, tweak and refine our plan and, eventually, sign off on a final strategy.
Project Management
We go live… and we’re not one to set it and forget it. We project manage, which means we watch, guide, tweak and change as things progress.
Reporting
When it’s done, there’s learning and recommendations. Hopefully we gain insights and data that we can use again. The more we work together, the better we get.
Our TALENTED Team
While Stanford & Turner can handle the most technical, mundane aspects of a marketing strategy, being creative is at the core of everything we do. That’s because founders, Ted Stanford and Gemma Turner, have been in the marketing and advertising industry for a combined 40+ years, but it’s what Ted and Gemma did prior to getting into the marketing and advertising industry that drives that creative core. Ted’s background is in film and entertainment, while Gemma’s is in singing and songwriting.
Ted Stanford
Managing Director
Ted went to film school prior to getting into the advertising industry, even winning some awards for films and screenplays that he worked on. Ted’s first job in advertising was in print, as a media coordinator at Hollinger, but he always maintained his interest in film, entertainment and the arts. His advertising career spanned across numerous media companies in a variety of roles, specializing in B2B marketing, revenue generation and business development.
Gemma Turner
Managing Director
Gemma was a singer/songwriter and worked with recording artists in both London, UK and Vancouver, Canada before she took a job at Mindshare in London as a TV buyer. After that, she moved to Vancouver, where she headed up both digital & traditional planning for national and regional clients spanning multiple sectors.
She has fifteen years of experience in pulling research, developing marketing plans and purchasing all types of media with a special focus on digital over the past six years.

Gemma is a pleasure to work with! She is personable, easy to work with and offers out-of-the-box thinking. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gemma and her team to anyone looking for marketing solutions.
