Internet Marketing Coach

Very intelligent and highly experienced, well worth every second.

Barry is one of the most insightful, strategic, and inspirational leaders that I have worked with in my career. Not only is he brilliant, but he is a compassionate and caring individual. I enjoy working with Barry greatly, and give him my hearty recommendation. Whenever Barry gets involved, business performance goes up, people learn and grow, and teams get stronger - smarter - faster.

Barry Stamos is a natural born public speaker, and specialist at creating enthusiasm in audiences of all sizes. I have had the pleasure of working with Barry on several engagements where he has delivered keynote addresses on a breadth of topics. Barry takes the time to understand his audience and relate to them empathetically. His experience, intelligence and expansive knowledge of the business landscape is lauded by those who hear him speak. Barry has consistently received top marks on attendee evaluations. I host dozens of events each year and would be honored to have Barry as a marquee keynote at any of these engagements.

Barry is THE most upbeat and energetic change agent I have EVER met.

I recruited Barry several years ago when launching a disruptive innovation business unit at Acxiom. The mandate was simple. Take a well established set of business assets... and change the way that the practice of marketing works. No small task.

Barry was a key partner and change agent in helping build a $0 revenue start-up into a $319 Million revenue generating business unit. He is relentless. An amazingly hard worker.

He has a constant impatience for the status quo and a unique ability to connect with people in a genuine and infectious way. With his peers, internal senior executives or clients... it does not matter. Barry has a fantastic way of framing a story and value proposition. Once framed, he WILL wear you down until you submit.

He sees the future more clearly than most.

Barry Stamos is one of the most brilliant minds in multichannel marketing. Barry is more than a channel or industry-centric expert, he is a rare and refreshing thought leader in the new and emerging media ecosystem. I have had an opportunity to work with Barry for 16 months. Throughout that time I found Barry to be a hard working, smart, and dedicated leader. It's not only his Acxiom colleagues that respect and admire him, but the dozens of Fortune 500 clients that he interacts with that provide overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding Barry's ability to effectively communicate and deliver. It's without hesitation that I support and recommend Barry.

Barry is a true thought leader on the emerging media ecosystem and has repeatedly translated his grasp of the space into helping companies successfuly incorporate new media into their marketing mix. From concepting winning business strategies to developing tactical marketing playbooks, and designing the implementation roadmaps that align the two, Barry creates genuine value across the entire marketing spectrum. His infectious passion for helping organizations drive game-changing growth by engaging prospects and customers seamlessly across channels has made him a successful marketing leader, a trusted business advisor, a dynamic public speaker, and a beloved colleague.

Barry has provided exceptional direction and executive skills in our working relationship for Luxury Index. As CEO and with a wealth of marketing knowledge and experience, Barry demonstrates superior abilities to educate, guide, constructively criticize, and motivate those around him. Personally, I have enjoyed a steep learning curve in all aspects of copywriting and web marketing as a direct result of Barry's influence. In addition, he brings a unique blend of focus, encouragement and critique in his executive oversight that makes him a true pleasure for whom to work. He is a special person with special talents.

A key strength to Barry is his strategic abilities. He develops integrated programs that deliver results.

Barry and his team were wonderful to work with. They helped take a limited e-channel marketing program to the next level.

Clearly, Barry was a rising star at Andersen. He maintains an assiduous work ethic and his enthusiasm for quality client service is top-notch. It has been a pleasure to watch his business acumen and style evolve over the years. He grasps concepts quickly, knows his audience and has a knack for analyzing problems from numerous perspectives. Barry is inspiring and engaging in this regard.
