Stephen Hale

Pauline has 29 years of experience working for start-ups and established high-tech companies developing and implementing successful marketing communications programs. She has both hands-on and management experience, executing major product launches, trade shows, worldwide seminar events, as well as writing and creating advertising, direct mail, newsletters, datasheets, press releases, and website messaging.

At IDACOM, a technology start-up, Pauline single-handedly planned, created, designed and managed marketing programs and materials that captured the attention of Fortune 500 customers.

At HP, Pauline led a marketing communications department to promote product lines globally for several HP business units, using the internet, technical book publications, worldwide seminars, advertising and direct mail, newsletters, press tours, and various marketing mixes.

Pauline's marketing communications management of HP's B-ISDN test system resulted in 90% market share by the second year of the launch, and the product line growing from US$0 to US$66 million in six years, generating a loyal customer base that adopted the system as the de facto industry standard.

In 1998, Pauline formed Hale Marketing Communications Inc. Since then she has used her unique approach and extensive experience to improve bottom-line results for a number of high-tech companies.

As a manager in a Hewlett-Packard division, Stephen was responsible at various times for all division operations, including manufacturing, product development, and information technology, and was responsible for key initiatives to reduce product development time and increase quality.
