Steven M. Stroum founded Venmark International in 1976 with a simple conviction: that strategic publicity could be the most powerful, and most underused, tool in a company’s marketing arsenal. Within two years, Venmark had grown to serve over 2,000 clients. Decades later, Steve’s experience spans product launches, international marketing campaigns, and the personal crucible of entrepreneurship itself, including the depression and self-discovery that became the foundation of his memoir.
