About Pauline
Boss. Owner. Occasional House Builder.
Let’s get real for a moment.
About Pauline
I’m Pauline Stockhausen, and I don’t do cookie-cutter anything.
While most people are debating whether to post on Instagram or TikTok, I’m the one who’s been in the marketing trenches for over 20 years, long enough to have seen every trend, platform shift, and algorithm change imaginable. I’ve built business owners empires from scratch and spoken on stages around the world, including Social Media Marketing World in San Diego.
But here’s what they don’t tell you in those polished LinkedIn bios: I’m doing all of this while raising three kids, building actual houses in Tonga between Zoom calls, and refusing to pretend that success has to look like everyone else’s version of it.
The Raw Truth
I started Stockhausen & Co because I was tired of watching brilliant business owners get sold strategies by consultants who’ve never actually built anything. You know the type, all theory, no real-world scars. All aesthetically pleasing Instagram grids, zero substance.
That’s not me.
I’m the strategist who’ll tell you the truth about what’s working and what’s not (with honesty and directness). The one who’ll show you exactly where your marketing is leaving money on the table. The marketing director who actually knows what it’s like to build something from nothing, because I’ve done it, multiple times.
What I Actually Do
I help medium-sized businesses cut through the noise and build marketing strategies that actually drive revenue. My expertise spans the full marketing spectrum from brand positioning and communication strategy to digital execution across social media, email, content, websites, and advertising that maximises ROI.
The digital landscape is where I’ve made my name, but great marketing has always been about understanding your audience and communicating with impact. Whether that’s crafting the right message, choosing the right channels, or building systems that convert, I bring two decades of integrated marketing knowledge to the table.
I walk the walk.
I’ve led hundreds of successful national and global campaigns, written two books that have sold over 19,000 copies worldwide (with a third nearly finished), and built an audience of over 500,000 people who trust me for straight-talking marketing advice. I’ve trained everyone from solo entrepreneurs to massive corporate teams. Politicians, celebrities, and business owners seek me out because I deliver results, not smoke and mirrors.
The Team Behind the Magic
Here’s the thing: I might be the face of Stockhausen & Co, but I’m not doing this alone. I’ve hand-curated an exceptional team of specialists brilliant copywriters who craft words that sell, designers who create visuals that stop scrolls, ad specialists who know how to make every dollar count, and website designers who build experiences that convert.
These aren’t just any professionals. They’re individuals who thrive on deadlines, who push the narrative, and who are as obsessed with delivering outstanding outcomes for our clients as I am. Because good enough has never been good enough for us.
The Bits That Make Me Human
When I’m not transforming businesses or speaking at international conferences, you’ll find me:
- Vanishing kitchen cabinets in Tonga (yes, really, I’m building houses there)
- Taking photographs that tell stories
- Being a mum to three incredible humans
- Probably laughing too loud at something inappropriate
- Pushing boundaries, whether that’s through kickboxing charity fights or challenging the status quo of what’s “acceptable” in business
Why Work With Me?
Because I’m genuinely invested in your success.
Not in maintaining some perfectly curated “personal brand.” But in actually helping you build something that works, something that lets you achieve your business goals while staying true to who you are.
I’m direct, I’m strategic, and I have zero patience for mediocrity. If you want someone to tell you everything’s fine when it’s not, I’m not your person. But if you want someone who’ll show you exactly how to win in the marketing space with honesty, insight, and proven strategies, then let’s talk.
The Bottom Line
Twenty years in this game. Hundreds of national and global campaigns. Two published books with over 19,000 copies sold worldwide. An online empire built from scratch. Three kids. Houses in Tonga. International speaking gigs including Social Media Marketing World. A track record that speaks louder than any testimonial ever could.
