About Stephen Dafoe: Strategic
and Creative Problem Solver

In a business built on helping others tell their stories, this is the one place where it’s about me. I’m Stephen Dafoe, the person behind Soaring Pig Studios, bringing almost three decades of experience in publishing, marketing, and creative design to your project. You won’t see me in the company’s demo reel or as the face of its campaigns—because the focus is always on the client. But here, let me tell you why I’m the right person to help your business or organization thrive.

An Early Adopter of Digital Publishing

In 1997, I launched my first website on medieval history when the internet was still a curiosity rather than the ubiquitous tool it is today. That project sparked a career in publishing where I authored, co-authored, and contributed to more than a dozen books, including:

  • Morgan: The Scandal That Shook Freemasonry, an investigative deep dive into the disappearance of William Morgan in 1826.
  • Nobly Born: An Illustrated History of the Knights Templar, a look at the rise and fall of one of history’s most famous military orders.

This work naturally extended into producing magazines and articles on historical and cultural topics. Along the way, I developed the storytelling and research skills that now help businesses and organizations communicate their messages effectively and memorably.

A Legacy in Community News
and Leadership

For 18 years, I worked in community news and freelance magazine writing—the last 15 of those as the founder and publisher of MorinvilleNews.com. Covering events, issues, and local stories, I gained firsthand experience engaging diverse audiences with content that mattered to them.

But my work didn’t stop at the newsroom. I’ve served on boards, committees, and in local government, gaining valuable insights into governance, public policy, and how to communicate those ideas clearly and effectively. These experiences shape my approach to helping clients tackle complex challenges and connect with their communities.

Creative Solutions for Modern Challenges

I’m not just about the creative side—I’m about solving problems. Whether designing logos, writing scripts, consulting on public policy initiatives, or creating videos, I always focus on delivering real, tangible results for clients.

I’m also an advocate for using technology smartly. Integrating tools like AI into workflows has allowed me to help businesses streamline their processes and stay competitive in a rapidly changing digital landscape.

With a certification from the Digital Marketing Institute, I stay current on strategies like SEO, social media management, and digital marketing trends.

Why This Page Exists

You won’t see my name or face in Soaring Pig Studios’ demo reels because this business isn’t about me—it’s about you. But I know that trust is a cornerstone of any partnership, and this page is my chance to share why I’m uniquely equipped to help you succeed.

If you’re looking for someone who combines storytelling, strategy, and technology to deliver results, I’d be happy to talk.
