#WeAreModern Wednesday: Meet Holly Stearns![]()
It’s time for another #WeAreModern Wednesday spotlight, where we showcase the incredible people behind the scenes at Modern Machinery. This week, we’re excited to introduce Holly Stearns — our NEW Marketing Manager!![]()
![]()
Holly joined Team MODERN in January 2026 as Marketing Manager, bringing more than 25 years of marketing, design, and digital experience to the company, including 13 years as the owner of her own marketing agency. In her role, Holly leads the strategic direction and execution of marketing initiatives for Modern Machinery of Beaverton. From brand positioning and digital strategy to lead generation and sales enablement, she is focused on strengthening visibility, driving qualified opportunities, and supporting long-term growth.![]()
![]()
“Before joining MODERN, I spent over two decades building brands, developing digital strategies, and helping companies grow through thoughtful, data-driven marketing. Owning my own agency for 13 years gave me the opportunity to work across many industries, but manufacturing has always been especially rewarding because of the innovation and hands-on craftsmanship behind it.![]()
![]()
“When the opportunity at MODERN came along, I was excited about the chance to modernize and elevate the company’s marketing efforts while working alongside a strong, close-knit team. I love blending strategy with hands-on execution, whether that’s developing annual marketing plans, overseeing SEO and website performance, building targeted campaigns for key customer segments, or collaborating with sales to create compelling collateral and content. I’m especially passionate about ensuring brand consistency, measuring results through clear KPIs, and continuously refining strategies based on real data.![]()
![]()
“My education has played an important role in shaping my career. I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Management from Northwood University and later completed my Master of Science in General Administration from Central Michigan University. Both experiences helped build the strong business foundation I rely on every day in this role.![]()
![]()
“Family is at the center of everything I do. My husband, John, and I have two daughters who inspire me daily. Hannah will be starting graduate school this fall in the Bio-Chemistry field, and Marnie is in eighth grade at Meridian Public Schools. I love spending time cheering them on in all they pursue, from sporting events and science fairs to drama, theatre, and band concerts. Watching them grow and excel motivates me to always give my best professionally and personally.![]()
![]()
“Outside of work, I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can spend time in my garden, enjoy my flowers, and hopefully fit in some canoeing and camping with family and friends this summer.![]()
![]()
“I’m truly excited about this new chapter at MODERN. There is tremendous opportunity to strengthen our brand presence in the thermoforming manufacturing industry and I’m grateful to be part of a team that values growth, collaboration, and innovation.”![]()

In this video, we showcase the Air-Activated Oven Retract feature from Modern Machinery of Beaverton, designed to improve operator safety and response time during the thermoforming process. ![]()
![]()
Using compressed air, this system quickly and automatically drops the oven away from the plastic sheet when needed. This rapid response gives operators valuable extra time to react, especially when handling potentially flammable materials, helping reduce the risk of fire and material damage. ![]()
![]()
It’s a simple but powerful upgrade that enhances both safety and process control without slowing production. ![]()
![]()
If safety, uptime, and operator confidence are priorities in your operation, this is a feature worth considering. ![]()

It’s time for another #WeAreModern Wednesday spotlight, where we showcase the incredible people behind the scenes at Modern Machinery. This week, we’re excited to introduce Holly Stearns — our NEW Marketing Manager!![]()
![]()
Holly joined Team MODERN in January 2026 as Marketing Manager, bringing more than 25 years of marketing, design, and digital experience to the company, including 13 years as the owner of her own marketing agency. In her role, Holly leads the strategic direction and execution of marketing initiatives for Modern Machinery of Beaverton.

“Before joining MODERN, I spent over two decades building brands, developing digital strategies, and helping companies grow through thoughtful, data-driven marketing. Owning my own agency for 13 years gave me the opportunity to work across many industries, but manufacturing has always been especially rewarding because of the innovation and hands-on craftsmanship behind it.![]()
![]()
“When the opportunity at MODERN came along, I was excited about the chance to modernize and elevate the company’s marketing efforts while working alongside a strong, close-knit team. I love blending strategy with hands-on execution, whether that’s developing annual marketing plans, overseeing SEO and website performance, building targeted campaigns for key customer segments, or collaborating with sales to create compelling collateral and content. I’m especially passionate about ensuring brand consistency, measuring results through clear KPIs, and continuously refining strategies based on real data.![]()
![]()
“My education has played an important role in shaping my career. I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Management from Northwood University and later completed my Master of Science in General Administration from Central Michigan University. Both experiences helped build the strong business foundation I rely on every day in this role.![]()
![]()
“Family is at the center of everything I do. My husband, John, and I have two daughters who inspire me daily. Hannah will be starting graduate school this fall in the Bio-Chemistry field, and Marnie is in eighth grade at Meridian Public Schools. I love spending time cheering them on in all they pursue, from sporting events and science fairs to drama, theatre, and band concerts. Watching them grow and excel motivates me to always give my best professionally and personally.![]()
![]()
“Outside of work, I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can spend time in my garden, enjoy my flowers, and hopefully fit in some canoeing and camping with family and friends this summer.![]()
![]()
