Founder & President



Venmark International was founded by Steven M. Stroum, a seasoned marketing professional, to help small- and medium-sized companies take full advantage of their publicity opportunities.


Steve started Venmark from a spare room at his home in Newton, MA and within a few short months moved to nearby Wellesley. By the end of his first year in business the firm had 10 employees and dozens of clients. In recognition of Venmark's contribution to the success and growth of numerous small companies, he was selected to serve on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Small Business Task Force and was later appointed as one of 18 Small Business Advisors to the Governor of Massachusetts.

Venmark's contribution to the small business community was recognized further when he was selected by the International Rotary Foundation to tour South Korea for six weeks as an Ambassador. Steve has addressed the Boston Chapter of the American Marketing Association, The Inventors Association of New England at MIT, the IEEE, and many other business and civic groups. He was also appointed to The Norbert Weiner Forum at Tufts University to study the impact of technology on society and also served on the SBANE (Smaller Business Association of New England) Board of Directors as publicity advisor.
