LMFAO! Sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy what?!..
I'm afraid you're on the wrong message board. Scotty, beam me up!
" All of the above have spotless reputation and undeniable work ethics."
"Phil - besides managing an awesome marketing group and producing revenue" (producing what revenue? He hasn't produced anything! Hellooooo?)
Considering that the products division of NGCG has made almost zilch money, that means Monster Marketing has made almost all of their reported income, which, by the end of the year should be in the area of $1.8M to $1.9 million...mailing flyers and doing some promotional stuff? I would be very leery about their claims about working for all those companies you see on their website and in their filings, like the California Beef Council:
I called the California Beef Council: 916-925-2333 and spoke to Christie. She's actually the one who deals with their clients, meets with them, etc. She has never heard of Monster Marketing before, or Phil Longoria or Mike Berio. They don't hire a group of advertising companies, they only hire one at a time, by contract only.
I was told to contact a gentleman by the name of Enrique Turegano, VP, Chief Business Strategist of "alPunto Advertising" out of Tustin, CA: 714-929-7304. This is the company who currently, exclusively serves the CBC. Enrique said he has never heard of Monster Marketing, or Phil Longoria or Mike Berio. This advertising company also handles the Hispanic market.
I'm still digging, but so far I can not find anyone who has ever heard of MM or the people behind it. Think what you want...you're going to anyway. Never let the facts get in the way of a good lie!
