About
Welcome to keithmonaghan.com – a blog that helps businesses develop their marketing strategy.
Hello. My name is Keith Monaghan and I help businesses with their marketing strategy and advise them on building relationships in today’s hyper-social marketplace.
I earned my marketing stripes in the Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom (and subsequent bust), where I learned how technology and marketing work together. And sometimes how they don’t.
Professional Background
Why should you listen to me? Good question. Here are a few things I’ve done.
- 10+ years helping technology and consumer companies develop their marketing and branding strategies.
- Designed and managed opt-in email programs with millions of customers. (That’s opt-in as in permission, not spam).
- Served as a Direct Marketing Manager and a Product Manager.
- Wrote a popular marketing guide (over 6,000 downloads… and counting).
- Posed for an action figure that was featured in a national ad campaign. (OK, that’s not a good reason, but it’s funny).
