President: Bobby Stark

The best way to have a good idea is to have
lots of ideas.

Always focus on the big picture, but never forget the details. As president and founding partner of Parthenon Publishing, Bobby works with clients to develop the best communications strategy, but he’ll also notice a misplaced comma or slight color variation in the material. He has more than 15 years of marketing strategy and client service experience.

Before starting Parthenon Publishing, he was president and founding partner of Hammock Publishing Inc., a Nashville-based custom publishing firm. Among his many roles at Hammock, Bobby served as publisher of MyBusiness, a 550,000-circulation magazine for the small business owner members of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Prior to Hammock, Bobby was account supervisor and director of multimedia services at the Buntin Group, a marketing, advertising and media firm.

Bobby received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt and his M.B.A. from the Jack C. Massey School at Belmont University. He is also a graduate of the Stanford Professional Publishing course and the Birthing of Giants, an executive leadership program managed by MIT, Inc. magazine and the Entrepreneurs’ Organization.
