There’s no greater reward in my life than bringing two of my passions together. I volunteer my writing skills to non-profit organizations that help those less fortunate.
Children Who Never Forget
Worked closely with Neil Diamond and his daughter Elyn to create press kits and materials supporting their mission to help rehabilitate children of abuse.
A Wish & A Smile
Co-founded this 100% volunteer non-profit organization to help sick and underprivileged children.
Write all copy including print ads, invitations and press kits. Create fun themed auction events with entertainment and sports celebrities in attendance.
My pet project
Can’t divulge much yet but…it will show how rescue pets often rescue those who adopt them.
All proceeds will go to no-kill animal shelters.
What others had to say
-
“I worked with Maddy for several years at Rapp where she was an ACD on Mercedes-Benz. I could always count on her to produce breakthrough ideas that nailed the strategy and reflected the proper elegance of the brand. She excelled in client presentations, delivering award-winning work while garnering the highest levels of client satisfaction. She was an outstanding liaison between departments forging many strong relationships during her tenure at Rapp. She also helped manage/develop several writers in our group training them on product specifics and brand tonality. Overall, she is a great team player and will take on any challenge you give her. While at Rapp she led several agency initiatives bringing them to life through a lot of hard work and her unique creativity.”

“I've never met a more creative, imaginative person than Maddy. She has over the course of the last 10 years worked on various presentations and marketing efforts we've engaged ourselves in and she has ALWAYS provided us with clever, sometimes funny and completely original writing whether for our Special Events or for trade advertising or corporate presentation. Maddy’s participation has many times been the key ingredient in work which with other consultants and writers in the past was to be fair, ordinary. Ms. Stoller as a member of a creative team is usually the one you can count on to come up with the "fix" which in her case is always "outside the box" and that is frequently what we're looking for.”
— Steven "Sarge" Pickman, President and CEO of Sarge Entertainment Inc.

“I’ve been partners with Maddy Stoller at both Cohn and Wells and at Rapp and I can truly say it’s been a 100% collaborative, fun, exciting and exceptional experience. She is more than a talented writer. She has such a passion for creativity and often even comes up with art direction ideas. She is always thinking strategically and conceptually, putting herself in the consumer’s shoes. She brings fresh insights to every project and a great, positive attitude. The clients love her because she listens, is a wonderful presenter and she engages them with her enthusiasm. I have seen her mentor Jr. writers and she has that great balance of leading without micromanaging. I would highly recommend her for any job”

When I worked with her at Rapp, she made it a priority to understand client strategy and interpret it elegantly within the context of a creative campaign. Time and again Maddy came up with entirely new ways of engaging consumers with concepts they couldn't tune out--with copy that was inviting, personal, and importantly, motivating. She was consistently a great team contributor, and I would be pleased to work with her again.”
