Stacy is a public relations and marketing expert specializing in the luxury market with a focus on design, interiors, fine art and antiques. Her career has been spent launching several highly regarded brands that have become benchmarks in the design world as we know it today.

Stacy began her career in Public Relations working for the prestigious illustrated book publisher, Thames & Hudson where she promoted a wide variety of fine art, design, fashion, photography and jewelry titles as well as several museum catalogues that accompanied major traveling exhibitions. She had the honor of working with some of the most creative people in the world who were truly leaders in their respective fields.  It was through this experience, and at the request of these visionaries, that Stacy found a passion for working with small luxury companies and joined forces with Harriet Weintraub Public Relations to work on a wide range of luxury lifestyle brands and experiences.  

Stacy’s communications strategies and influence became increasingly in demand and she branched off to form her own company.

Stacy was instrumental in the success of 1stdibs with target affluent audiences worldwide.

In 2013, Stacy relaunched her own firm, Stacy McLaughlin Communications, where she leads her team in overseeing full-scale branding and communications services for a stable of A-list clientele.
