William C. Stafford | Founder & CEO
Stafford Entertainment and Talent was founded in 2018. William C. (Bill) Stafford began this type of promotional work after having founded five other entities during his professional life of 45 years. Bill, as President of a coastal hotel, also currently leads the marketing and branding promotions that have proven to be very successful. From some of those same disciplines he founded Stafford Entertainment and Talent, LLC otherwise known as S.E.T. From his original clients of Von Lewis and Abbey Clark (Lewis n Clark) he has grown to a company of 12 artistic groups that S.E.T. represents today.
The S.E.T. business model is based on quality and variety with the work quality first. “My goal is to assist with the booking and promotion of a smaller group of artists, that have different music styles and genres. I pride myself in participating in the management of a few of these and helping set a high bar for their audience. I have two main slogans I often share with my entertainment talent.
“Lets work smarter and not harder”
“Its my job to get you placed in venues and its your job to get invited back”
I am very proud that the I-42 Band that I manage and promote has been selected for the Atlantic Beach “Beach Music Festival” and the ShowFest Event at the NC Festivals and Events Conference. They have also been requested to perform for The American Heart Association Heart Balls in several areas of North Carolina as well as many other events around our state.
Bill says, if you want the best, “GET S.E.T.” to make it happen.
