Jim@Monk.comJames M. Crotty brings to his role as a Principal in the creative services firm Monk Media (www.monk.com) nearly twenty-five years of high-level experience working with businesses, non-profits, and high-net-worth individuals. Mr. Crotty is a seasoned consultant, advising clients on design, content, and marketing solutions across a broad private-public spectrum, including consumer products, travel, education, arts and entertainment.
Mr. Crotty is known as the co-founder, editor, and peripatetic publisher of Monk: the Mobile Magazine. He is the author of several books, including “How To Talk American” (Houghton Mifflin), “The USA Phrasebook” (Lonely Planet), and, with fellow “Monk” Michael Lane, of “Mad Monks on the Road” (Simon & Schuster), “The Mad Monks’ Guide to New York City” (Macmillan), and “The Mad Monks’ Guide to California” (Macmillan). He has also commandeered works in TV, multimedia, and film, including the urban debate documentary, “Resolved” (www.resolved.tv), which Mr. Crotty wrote, produced, and in which he stars.
As a media auteur, Mr. Crotty has been prominently featured in major international media, including the BBC, Australian BBC, Canada’s CBC, Germany’s Der Stern, and Italy’s Panorama. He has also been profiled in major American media, including Newsweek, the New York Times, ABC’S “Good Morning America,” NPR’s “Morning Edition,” MTV News, Fox News, Rolling Stone, Wired, and hundreds more.
Mr. Crotty is widely regarded as a pioneer of “the mobile office” (Portable Computing Magazine) and the inventor of “dashboard publishing” (Fact Sheet Five). In 1993 he commandeered one of the world’s first live Internet TV broadcasts (from “Burning Man” in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert). Starting in 1994 with the Transom, continuing in 1997 with HBC (HollywoodBroadcasting.com) and concluding in 2000 with Playboy, Crotty brought high-level multimedia content to the web long before the user-generated era took hold. In 2004 he helped launch the video blog revolution with the independent politics and culture site, The Crotty Farm Report (www.crottyfarmreport.com).
Besides his other work, Crotty is the Director of Marketing for Monk Media’s L.A.-based production facility MonkSpace (monk.com/monkspace). In combination with its stellar web design, hosting, and SEO (Search Engine Optimization), with MonkSpace Monk Media now has all one needs under one roof to get any project shot, edited, promoted, and distributed.
In his spare time Crotty volunteers as the Director of Forensics at the Eagle Academy for Young Men in the South Bronx (see www.resolved.tv for a trailer about his work with at-risk youth) and leads Great Books discussion groups in cities around the world.
Mr. Crotty earned a B.S. in Speech from Northwestern University and a Master’s in Liberal Arts from St. John’s College Santa Fe, “the Great Books School.” He can be reached at Jim@Monk.com.
