Todd Stanton/ Stanton Law LLC
Founder

Building upon his decade of big law experience with the reputable firms of Fisher & Phillips and Bryan Cave (formerly Powell Goldstein), and demonstrating the same entrepreneurial drive he admires in his clients, Todd founded Stanton Law LLC in Atlanta, Georgia. Seeking to combine the quality of large firm representation with the flexibility, responsiveness, and cost-effectiveness of a nimbler shop, Todds practice remains dedicated to the employer side of the employer-employee relationship. From on-boarding new talent and assisting with the development of workable job descriptions, personnel policies, and compensation plans, to guiding clients through sticky disciplinary, performance, and leave issues, to executing respectful and amicable separations, Todd provides practical bottom line-oriented legal advice to small and medium-sized employers.

As legal counsel, Todd is focused on helping companies avert employment-related issues without sacrificing managerial efficiency. In most instances, a proactive approach to employment issues can prevent months of disruptive headaches down the road. When the inevitable disputes do arise, however, his litigation experience allows his clients to consider all available options to efficiently resolve the problem. He regularly represents employers in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies such as labor departments, equal opportunity and human rights commissions, and employee safety administrations.

Brad Weaver/Nine Labs
Chief Experince Officer

Brad went to school to be a lawyer, then came to his senses and has spent the last 18 years as a Creative Director, User Experience Designer, Information Architect, Author, and Content Strategist. Day to day, he guides the creative team in usability, design, content strategy, product development, interactive, branding, and data visualization. He and his teams have created leading work for clients including IHG, Verizon, Bank of America, AT&T, ESPN, Disney, NATO, The PGA, and Coca-Cola.

Along the way, he’s been the big cheese, the plebeian, the middle manager, and the class clown. Not one to shy away from hard work or his blue collar upbringing, he’s also folded clothes, pumped gas, bagged groceries, sold cell phones, and climbed the Great Wall of China. In addition to serving as CXO, he is the author of Creative Truth, and regularly teaches workshops, mentors students, and speaks at conferences around the world.

His likes and loves are design, film, whiskey, Oxford commas, and Jesus, but not in that order. His superpower, naturally, would be mind-reading.

Aubriana Alvarez Lopez/Digital Element 

Through pursuing my interest in the business of sports, I found my niche in mobile and technology. My love of sports has not faded, but I have found that I thrive in the challenging, yet exciting and evolving, connected world. I am a problem solver by nature and quite often my inspiration comes from the “can’ts and won’ts” in life. Because I believe that most processes and products can always be better, I enjoy figuring out how to make that happen.

Looking at mobile strategy as a whole, I aim to help businesses improve their consumer experience, with a focus on Location-Based Services and data implementation as a key piece of this equation. By reviewing trends and forecasts in the marketplace, communicating with current clients, and considering consumer preferences I aim to offer a holistic approach to digital/mobile marketing.

At Digital Element, a leader in geolocation, I lead all mobile initiatives. As Lead Strategist, I oversee product direction, strategic partnerships, and business development. I enjoy working closely with the sales team to guide and educate mobile efforts internally and to address trends and best practices as it pertains to strategic implementation for businesses through industry events and publications.

I also started and serve as President to the Atlanta chapter of the Location Based Marketing Association (LBMA) guiding the efforts to educate, share best practices and establish guidelines for growth, and to promote the services of member companies to brands and other content-related providers. The LBMA is an international group dedicated to fostering research, education, and collaborative innovation at the intersection of people, places and media, where I work with retailers, agencies, advertisers, media buyers, software and services providers, as well as wireless companies.
