Stephen Monaco is an American marketing executive and serial entrepreneur, currently the CEO of Insightful Knowledge, LLC and Evolve Adaptive Marketing, LLC in Kansas City and a principal at the global strategic marketing consulting firm, Mavens & Moguls in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Monaco was the co-CEO / VP of Sales & Marketing for Datastorm Technologies, Inc. from a raw start-up in 1986 through the company's acquisition in 1996.
Datastorm boot-strapped their growth organically via retained earnings and refusal of outside investments. By 1992, they were ranked 376 in the Inc. 500.[1] The company produced a combination 16/32-bit Procomm Plus for Windows, which included an early Web browser called, Web Zeppelin. Procomm Plus for Windows supported the RIP graphic terminal language, enabling the display of higher-resolution images than the ANSI standard in general use by bulletin board systems at the time. Datastorm and their software, ProComm, was prominent in a pre-TCP/IP world where computer-to-computer modem connections (eg, bulletin board systems, or BBS's) were common.[2]
In September 1993, Procomm Plus for Windows reached the #1 spot on PC Magazine's list of Top Retail Software.
Datastorm grew through 40 consecutive profitable quarters, then was acquired by Quarterdeck in 1996 at a cost of over $70 million.[3] Quarterdeck was later purchased by Symantec. Support for the last release of Procomm, version 4.8, was discontinued in 2002.[4]
As a marketing consultant, Stephen's services have been retained by eminent market leaders, including: Microsoft, Digital River, Symantec Corporation, Quarterdeck, Digital River, Edelman Public Relations Worldwide, as well as numerous mid-market and early stage companies. Monaco has been a co-founder, principal, and / or senior executive to numerous organizations in both North America and Europe. His broad expertise ranges across a number of disciplines: utility and security software, electronic product distribution, Web search and marketing, Internet ad delivery, e-commerce, social media monitoring / business analytics, entertainment, alternative energy, disaster recovery, and food safety. Monaco serves on the advisory board for a number of organizations including, Thinkubator, Inc. in San Diego.
Monaco appeared as guest panelist on the half-hour business-related technology television program Silicon Spin that aired on ZDTV (later known as TechTV) for several years during the dot-com era from 1998 to 2001. It featured guest panelists (often referred to as pundits), usually business insiders, engaged in debates moderated by host John C. Dvorak. Stephen has also appeared as a guest on the internationally syndicated radio program, Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40.
Monaco graduated from the University of Wales – Cardiff, United Kingdom with a Masters in Business Administration with concentrations in both Marketing and eBusiness. The topic of his Masters Dissertation was on the analysis of the impact of the Internet and social media on mass media. The conclusion of Stephen's Masters Dissertation included recommendations on best practices to utilize social media marketing and social media monitoring to identify, engage and empower brand ambassadors on the social Web. Social media marketing is an area Monaco has been researching independently since 1997.
