About Stable Gray
Stable Gray was founded in 2015 by CharDale Barnes and Theardis Young to help small businesses build strong brands at affordable prices. The efforts of Stable Gray have evolved from providing a few simple media services, to pioneering some of the most innovative branding solutions in the industry.
Our mission is to help businesses build the brand of their dreams. We strive to blur the lines between large companies with unlimited marketing budgets, and local small businesses. We help businesses of all sizes develop their brand into ones that look just like the companies we see on tv everyday.
Stable Gray is driven by passion and empathy. We continue to create custom solutions to address the pain points we hear from our clients. We’re excited about the projects we’re currently working on and look forward to telling more client stories in the future.
Let’s work together to help you build the company you’ve always envisioned. Lock in a date on our appointment calendar and we’ll see you soon.

About CharDale Barnes
"In 'The Purple Cow', Seth Godin admirably said ideas that spread win. I would say ideas that add value not only spread and win, but also improve society."
CharDale Barnes, co-founder & CEO
Born and raised in North Omaha, CharDale has deep roots in the community. He grew up the middle child of three where his mom raised him in a fatherless home. Despite the odds of being surrounded by gang activity in the 1990's, he managed to graduate from Belvedere, McMillan, and Omaha North High School.
CharDale developed his creative skills early on. He learned his work ethic through the influence of his grandmother, the late Marie Barnes. She was a teacher at the College of Saint Mary and taught him how to write and express himself with the pen. He got his first taste of being a creative around the age of 5, when his grandmother asked him (alongside siblings and cousins) to record a song. This—including a live performance—was her last request from her grandkids while fighting breast cancer. It proved to be a blessing in disguise because CharDale never let go of storytelling, arts, and creative writing.
Since then, his skills have expanded to include not only the arts and writing, but finance and technology as well. He's used his gifts to help many companies develop and thrive. In the arts, he ran a recording studio full-time in the Benson district of Omaha. In finance, he worked as an analyst for Mutual of Omaha. In tech, he wrote custom code for Methodist Hospital and Hayneedle (respectively). Hayneedle was acquired by Walmart.
CharDale has his Associates Degree in Business, and completed full-stack software developer training at Omaha Code School. He studied finance and banking at UNO and also obtained his FAA Certified Part 107 drone pilot license through Eppley Airfield. If you ever meet CharDale you'll notice he loves dry humor. He may not get you to laugh, but that won't stop him from trying to make you smile.
He's full of youthful wonder and fascination, which aids his unique ability to solve problems with innovation. His fearless pursuit of better communities and a positive narrative for the underrepresented makes him the perfect leader for the team at Stable Gray.
CharDale leads many areas of Stable Gray including:
-
-
Web Development
-
Video Production
-
Photography
-
Drone Services (Part 107)
-

Testimonials
Q&A with Othello Meadows, CEO - 75 North SG: What was it like branding your company before you worked with Stable Gray?
Othello:
We lacked a communication strategy and focus as well as the manpower to drive either."
SG: What problem(s) were you trying to solve with Stable Gray?
Othello:
Our messaging wasn't clear and consistent. We were doing really cool things and hosting great events but we weren't reaching nearly the audience that we needed to."
SG: What made Stable Gray's offerings stand out from other branding agencies?
Othello:
We needed a firm that understood this community and could speak in the voice we wanted to communicate in."
SG: What made you happiest about working with Stable Gray?
Othello:
The responsiveness of Stable Gray and the creativity in which they share information via social media serves exactly the purpose we need it to."
SG: What have you been able to achieve since using Stable Gray?
Othello:
Information about what we do is being more broadly disseminated and understood by our target audience."
SG: What would you tell someone who’s considering Stable Gray?
Othello:
I would tell them that Stable Gray allows an organization to function as if they have a dedicated, full time marketing and communications professional on their staff."
We were looking for a company to partner with that would showcase who 1st State Bank is and Stable Gray did just that. Their team took time to get to know our people and company, which really helped tell our story in the content they created for us. Through the work Stable Gray has done, we have seen our brand recognition grow and we would suggest to anyone looking to work with a creative team, to talk to Stable Gray. Additionally, we truly appreciate working with a team with similar core values as us."
Derek Randecker, MARKET PRESIDENT/CIO - 1st State Bank
Q&A with Diana Bahn, FOUNDER - Two Girls Cleaning SG: What was it like before you had our product or service?
Diana:
It was difficult trying to do everything (branding) on my own."
SG: What problem(s) were you trying to solve with our product or service?
Diana:
Marketing, website and photography."
SG: What made our product or service stand out from other options?
Diana:
One stop shop, I can have many things done by one place which saves me time and money."

Diana:
You're good at what you do and you make me look good."
SG: What have you been able to achieve since using our product or service?
Diana:
Because my ads, website and pictures are professionally done I get noticed more, which means more people are visiting my website, Facebook page and/or calling for services. More traffic (equals) more money."
SG: What would you tell someone who’s considering our business?
Diana:
Give them a try you will not be disappointed!"
I was looking for a website that wasn’t the typical cookie-cutter. I didn’t really know what to expect, but Stablegray created something that was beyond our expectations. We have been getting many new customers because of the web site and recently added a new veterinarian from Virginia. She said that her impressions of our company was via our website and we were able to hire her quickly. Teddy, Ella, CharDale and Eddie were all easy to work with and just did a fantastic job for us."
Andrew Kliewer, DVM - Heartland Pet Hospital
Q&A with Alexis Bromley, DIRECTOR - ONE Omaha SG: What was it like before you had our product or service?
Alexis:
Working at a small non-profit, you have to wear many hats. Branding and social media marketing are valuable for every organization, but without a dedicated staff person sharing our story, it would sit on a back burner for more immediate items."
SG: What problem(s) were you trying to solve with our product or service?
Alexis:
Storytelling. We knew our organization had an incredible story to share and needed a firm that understood our audience and our community."
SG: What made our product or service stand out from other options?
Alexis:
The compassion of the Stable Gray team was our deciding factor. They took the time to understand where we wanted our brand to be and became colleagues who worked at an off-site marketing department (their office)."
SG: What made you happiest about working with our company?
Alexis:
Simplicity. Stable Gray proposed new ideas and took charge to make them happen. We love to try new things."
SG: What have you been able to achieve since using our product or service?
Alexis:
Quality content. Between photography, videography, and graphic design, everything was beautifully made and our brand was able to stand out."
SG: What would you tell someone who’s considering our business?
Alexis:
If you are struggling to share your story, there is help. Stable Gray understands our community and produces quality work to share with every audience."
