About Clay
Clay Stark is Republic Commercial Real Estate's Visual Storyteller, responsible for capturing the photography and videography that brings every property listing to life. A Cincinnati native and Ohio University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication and a specialization in Photojournalism and Marketing, Clay brings a sports-media-trained eye for compelling moments to the world of commercial real estate.
Before joining Republic, Clay built an impressive portfolio producing real-time, social-first content for some of the most recognizable names in professional and collegiate sports — including the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Guardians, FC Cincinnati, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Harvard University Athletics. That background in fast-paced, high-stakes content production translates directly to the precision and polish that Republic's property marketing demands.
Clay's work ensures that every listing — from a single-tenant retail pad to a multi-building industrial campus — is presented with the visual quality that serious buyers, tenants, and investors expect.
