Over 25 years of advertising and marketing experience has enabled Bill to form lasting relationships and to wisely serve clients with cutting edge marketing tactics and strategies. From 1986 to 2003, Bill was COO, Publisher, and Partner at respected Myrtle Beach marketing firm Himmelsbach Communications, where he oversaw 17 advertising executives and managed 5 national magazines, Family Circle, McCalls, Rosie, Parents and Child. Local projects include On the Beach , On the Green (both video and print), Myrtle Beach Magazine, and the USAir Resort Golf and Tennis Directory.

Bill has been the driving force behind Stanton Media Group providing Marketing/PR/ Advertising services since 2003.

Bill also owns and manages Alcala Properties, a rental management firm serving North and South Carolina.

It may seem like Bill has been a Myrtle Beach ad man forever, yet after growing up in New York State, he served four years in the United States Air Force, working and traveling extensively throughout Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Bill graduated  from the University of South Carolina in 1986 with a major in marketing and made his home, with his wife, Jamie, in Myrtle Beach.
