CAYCE, SC, September 14, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stanley McCloy has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. McCloy's career in the printing industry has been defined by a steady progression of leadership and achievement at Professional Printers in Columbia, South Carolina. In March 2026, he assumed the role of Director of Business Development, overseeing client engagement, business development strategy, job estimating and pricing, coordination with account management and production teams, and direct supervision of the promotional products and apparel department. His responsibilities include managing a network of more than 150 vendors that supply branded items, vetting vendors' legitimacy, and training the sales team on available promotional products. He remains hands-on throughout the sales cycle, from initial client contact to final delivery, ensuring that project specifications are accurately entered and jobs are priced competitively. Mr. McCloy's leadership is further demonstrated by his mentorship of the sales team, empowering colleagues to replicate his proven strategies for account growth.
Before his current position, Mr. McCloy served in a sales and business development capacity at Professional Printers from 2021 to 2026. During this period, he specialized in maximizing revenue from existing accounts while prospecting for new business opportunities. Averaging 33 percent annual growth in his book of business over nine years, he consistently generated more revenue from inherited accounts than his predecessors. A pivotal moment in his career occurred in 2019 when he secured a marquee account — a local theater — that had eluded Professional Printers for nearly three decades. This accomplishment not only elevated the company's profile but also established a referral network that continues to drive significant business growth.
From 2017 to 2021, Mr. McCloy served as an entry-level sales associate at Professional Printers. In this role, he managed client relationships and contributed to the company's ongoing success through diligent sales efforts and attention to customer needs. His journey with Professional Printers began as a sales and marketing intern at Advanced Labelworx, Inc., in Anderson, South Carolina, in 2016, followed by an internship at Professional Printers during the summer of 2017. These early experiences provided him with foundational industry knowledge and practical skills that would later inform his approach to leadership.
Before entering the printing sector, Mr. McCloy gained valuable experience as Head Sales Manager at Vector Marketing in Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson from 2014 to 2015 and as a Field Sales Leader with the same company in 2014. These roles helped him pay his way through college, as well as develop his expertise in business development, account growth and revenue maximization, new business prospecting, and sales team training — areas in which he is now recognized as an expert.
Mr. McCloy's professional affiliations reflect his commitment to advancing the printing industry across the Carolinas. He currently serves as co-chair of Emerging Leaders within the Printing Industry of the Carolinas Association (PICA), an organization dedicated to supporting professionals under age thirty-eight and recruiting new talent into the field. As chair, he also serves on the PICA board, where he is noted for being significantly younger than his peers yet highly respected for his contributions.
His academic background includes earning a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communications with cum laude honors from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina, in 2017. Mr. McCloy credits much of his professional success to the support of his wife, Taylor, and his parents, who have provided unwavering encouragement throughout his journey. The education received at Clemson University proved instrumental, offering both technical expertise and access to one of the nation's most loyal alum networks. He acknowledges that family connections played a role in gaining admission to Clemson through legacy consideration tied to his stepfather's history as an alumnus.
In addition to his professional pursuits, Mr. McCloy has been active in civic initiatives focused on cancer-related causes within his community. As a fundraising organizer for Cancer of Many Colors based in Columbia, he has helped cover non-medical expenses for cancer patients by organizing annual galas and silent auctions. Drawing inspiration from campaigns such as Men Wear Pink by the American Cancer Society — where he previously volunteered — Mr. McCloy adapted similar fundraising concepts, resulting in substantial contributions to local charities.
Recognition for Mr. McCloy's achievements includes receiving the Top Cat Award from Clemson University's Department of Graphic Communications on April 16, 2026, an award only received by a handful of fellow alumnae over the past decade. This honor acknowledged his exceptional support for students and cooperative engagement with the department. Under his direction, Professional Printers earned distinction from PICA for the Most Creative Use of Paper, receiving a Best of Category award for an annual report project, and achieved national recognition by ranking among the top 300 printers on the Printing Impressions 300 list during its record-breaking sales year in 2022.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, in January 1995, Mr. McCloy moved to South Carolina during middle school and has since made it his home despite maintaining close ties with family still residing in Ohio. He is married to Taylor, a clinical pharmacist at a local hospital system; together, they share a daughter named Callie.
Outside of work, Mr. McCloy enjoys traveling with family — whether exploring mountain trails or relaxing at the beach — playing bass and guitar in a band that writes original music and performs locally, golfing, and engaging in outdoor activities with friends and occasionally working on automotive restoration projects.
Looking ahead professionally, Mr. McCloy aims to drive continued company growth and advance into vice president-level leadership overseeing sales and business development operations at Professional Printers. Personally, he is focused on achieving new milestones on the golf course while maintaining strong connections within both his professional network and community life.
