Back in 1998, Larry Stopa founded E/Power Marketing in Chicago because he recognized that businesses needed help marketing online. He’s always had a passion for technology, starting his career working in marketing communications, focused mainly on technology companies. As the internet took off, Larry recognized how changes in how people communicated and did business. He established E/Power Marketing to provide the expertise and guidance businesses needed to succeed in the digital environment.

He relocated to Oshkosh in 2000 because he loved the Fox Valley. The quality of life it offered his family, the year-round opportunities for outdoor adventures, and more drew him here. The talented graduates from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh and other local colleges made it easy for him to grow the team through the years!

Today, Larry oversees all aspects of the agency. He pushes us to work hard, think big, and to always go the extra mile! His strategic leadership has turned E/Power Marketing into the client-forward and results-first digital marketing agency we are today. So many digital marketing agencies have come and gone over the years, but our attention to detail, steadfastness of purpose, and eye-on-the-prize approach have allowed us to thrive!

When he’s not at the office, Larry can most likely be found exploring the beautiful scenery throughout Wisconsin. Larry loves spending time with his family – Jennie, Pearl, and Casimir. A music buff and die-hard Chicago Bears fan, football season can be a tense time for our team!
