About SCC

SCC Brand

SCC began with a simple belief—that creativity should feel like home. Not a boardroom, not a test, not a competition (tho some friendly competition can be fun) but a place where ideas can breathe, where people can show up exactly as they are and still feel like they are being seen.

SCC is built for the storytellers, the dreamers, the beginners, and the doers. If anyone who’s ever had a story to tell but didn’t know where to start, or needed someone to say, “You can.” We believe growth doesn’t happen in perfect conditions—it happens in connection.

At SCC, creativity and community live side by side. We mix art and strategy, heart and hustle. We help people and brands grow from the inside out—finding their voice, their message, and their confidence. Whether it’s through a podcast, a photo, a blog post, or a full marketing plan, our goal is always the same: to bring real stories to light and help people take their next step.

This is a space for laughter, for learning, for building something that feels honest. A space for your first try and your fiftieth. We don’t promise perfection—we promise support, growth, and a creative home that moves with you.

SCC is the first step toward what comes next. Maybe that next step is with us, or maybe it’s out there in the world you’re about to build. Either way, we’ll be cheering for you. Because once you’ve found your voice here, you’ll never lose it again.

Founder

Karla Stump

Hey,I’m 24, an EMT, and the founder of SCCMarketing—but really, I’m just someone who loves people and stories.

I’ve always had this mix of creativity and curiosity that didn’t quite fit into one box. In college, I led a live radio station and absolutely fell in love with the way stories connect people. I also took a digital media class that cracked open a new world for me—suddenly, I could see how sound, color, and design could bring an idea to life.

Somewhere between late-night creative projects and early-morning ambulance calls, I realized what I wanted to build—a space where people could feel seen and supported while they grow. SCC started as a small marketing idea, but it quickly became a place for connection, creativity, and courage.

My background is a strange mix—leadership training through John Maxwell, emergency medicine, and a lifetime of listening. But that combination taught me something important: everyone has a story that matters, and sometimes they just need help finding the words or the courage to tell it.

That’s what SCC is about. It’s not just a brand to me—it’s a home. A space for small businesses, creatives, and everyday people who want to learn, share, or take that first brave step toward something new.

I don’t believe in perfect. I believe in progress, in trying again, in learning as you go. I believe in helping people grow—whether that’s through a marketing strategy, a conversation, or simply being reminded that what they do matters.

So, if you’re here, welcome. You’re already part of what makes SCC what it is—a place where creativity feels safe, where people come together, and where stories find their way into the world

CEO

Samantha Maloy

Sam has always been a creator at heart—someone who sees the world not just for what it is, but for what it could be. Her path to leading SCCMarketing wasn’t a straight line; it was a mix of art, emergency medicine, animal care, and a deep curiosity about people. Each step shaped the grounded yet creative leader she is today.

Before taking on the role of CEO, Sam worked as an EMT, where calm under pressure became second nature. She also studied art and explored digital media, bringing an eye for design and storytelling that now flows through every part of SCC’s brand. Her years working with animals taught her patience, empathy, and how to listen in ways words can’t.

Sam leads with a steady hand and an open heart. She believes that structure and creativity can coexist—and that the best ideas often come from the most unexpected places. Her ADHD brain thrives on connection, color, and organized chaos, turning what others might call “distraction” into innovation.

At SCC, Sam is the bridge between big vision and daily flow. She manages operations, supports clients, and ensures that every project carries the same heart and honesty the brand was built on. Under her leadership, SCC isn’t just growing—it’s becoming a space where people can build, learn, and feel at home in their creativity

The Interns

At SCC, learning is a big part of what we do. We believe everyone deserves a place to grow, to explore their interests, and to see what they’re capable of when they’re given a real chance.

Right now, we’re lucky to have a wonderful photography intern on our team. They’re learning the ropes of photography—everything from lighting and framing to capturing those unplanned, in-between moments that tell the real story. You’ll often see them helping behind the scenes at shoots, soaking up every bit of hands-on experience they can.

We love watching our interns learn in real time. SCC isn’t just a company—it’s a creative home where people can make mistakes, experiment, and build the confidence to do what they love. Our internship program is all about that first step: learning by doing, surrounded by people who believe in your potential.

social media intern

Our social media content intern brings a bright, creative spark to the team. They’re learning how to tell stories through posts, visuals, and captions—how to take an idea and turn it into something that connects with people online.

Day to day, they help brainstorm post ideas, organize content calendars, and assist with writing and design. They’re also learning the rhythm of social media—how to balance strategy with authenticity, and how to keep a brand’s voice real in a busy online world.

At SCC, we don’t just teach the “how” of marketing. We teach the “why.” Our interns get to see the full process—how creativity meets purpose, and how content can inspire, educate, and build community. Watching them grow into their own creative style is one of our favorite parts of what we do
