About Maroneys
JP Maroney, is an American entrepreneur and CEO of Marocom Group, a collection of companies and joint ventures involved in publishing, media, training, consulting and internet commerce.
Self-described as a serial business-builder, Maroney started his first venture at age 19, when he created a t-shirt company called Cool Alternative. He also formed – more... his first joint-venture, teaming up with a large screen printing company that produced shirts for MTV, Clint Black and other superstars.
He soon after launched an advertising and marketing agency that created print media and eventually ventured into radio marketing campaigns. His fledging venture initially churned out creative promotions for local and regional companies, but eventually broke into larger opportunities when he landed an account with a local company that had recently become a publicly traded company.
At age 22 he created his first magazine, a travel-oriented publication called Escape Magazine, which he eventually published in Texas and Louisiana. That success and his growing interest in publishing eventually lead him to buy a weekly classifieds marketing newspaper called PennyWise.
Maroney jokingly calls this his insanity period when he was spread out between too many projects without the business acumen and infrastructure to manage it all. Everything came crashing down on him when a large advertising client fired its marketing director - Maroney's lifeline to the company, and his agency lost the account.
At age 25, he lost everything. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
