Mary Stanislawski is the new owner of designCraft Advertising, an ad agency that develops socially responsible and community-centered marketing.
Stanislawski, a seasoned advertising and marketing professional, took over from founder Yvette Jones as owner on Dec. 2.
DesignCraft was started in 1985. Over the last four decades, the agency has developed advertising projects on community, social justice and sustainability.
The business will continue to be 100% woman owned, and Stanislawski will serve as president and creative director.
“DesignCraft has always stood for something bigger than marketing,” Stanislawski said in a statement. “From the beginning, transparency, community connection and sustainability have guided how the company shows up for its clients and partners. I’m honored to carry forward the vision that Yvette built and continue helping small businesses and nonprofits tell their stories with authenticity and impact.”
Jones has been named creative director emerita.
