About Stigma M&D
Stigma Marketing & Development is a different kind of consultancy. It was founded by Paule Patterson—a former pastor, recovery survivor, and strategy-minded problem solver—on the belief that marketing, like leadership, should be human, not hollow.

"What does your name mean?"
STIGMA is about the ideas that get in the way of good ideas.
"Stigma" isn’t just a name—it’s a challenge. People and businesses get held back by labels, assumptions, and limiting beliefs. We exist to help people break through those barriers, own their narrative, and redefine their identity on their own terms. The story we tell and the way we tell it matters.
"...and the Llamas?"
It's about the ideas that get in the way of good ideas.
We loved llamas before it was cool. Llamas are resilient, adaptable, personal, and unapologetically weird. They’re a reminder that branding and marketing don’t have to be boring, safe, or predictable. Like us, llamas stand out, show up, and take care of their own.
Llamas don't care if you think they're weird.
