[More on this](https://www.stanmurzyn.com/Work/Portraits) ### [Venues](https://www.stanmurzyn.com/Work/Venues) Your rooms, for the people who have to fill the calendar. Not the brochure. [More on this](https://www.stanmurzyn.com/Work/Venues) ## Why local matters here Most of my work is within an hour of home. No flight on your budget, no call time missed at Dulles, and a 6:30 load-in is a drive instead of a hotel night. ## Guides Every one of these started as a client question.

Alongside it I build go-to-market functions: market entry, a first sales motion, pipeline where there was not any. Some clients hire me for a multi-day content engagement, some for a quarter of commercial strategy, and some for both. [What that looks like](https://www.stanmurzyn.com/Consulting) ## What people say Stan has one of the best marketing minds I have met in my lifetime, making him a natural and extraordinary sales professional. I would honestly hire him anywhere, for almost any job, with complete confidence. Jennifer S. Stan is an artist when it comes to photography. He does such an incredible job setting up the atmosphere that is both friendly and comfortable for his clients. James S. Begin with an unwavering can-do attitude, add talent and drive, and deliver with deep integrity, and you have Stan Murzyn. He applied himself with zeal and creativity and drove many leads, seemingly out of thin air. Douglas D. One of the highest caliber creative and business minded people I have worked with. Brings a unique blend of talent, insights and a creative touch to bring a project to life or to its next level. Alex S. He does beautiful, thorough work with a fast turnaround. Johanna D. Someone who truly comes alongside you and makes your business, your project, your venture his baby. Who is just a blast to work with and makes it exciting to collaborate. Justin M. He is hyper-focused on relationships and getting others where they want to be. An excellent communicator, colleague, and friend. Oliver P. Stan is straightforward to work with, making it easy to hire him for a job. Stan gets my warmest recommendation. Søren H. Welling up from him come refreshing creative ideas and surprisingly pertinent resources. Never one to let the status quo remain as-is.
