History
Chairman and CEO Andrew McKelvey founded
Telephone Marketing Programs (TMP) in 1967. With no capital and
no clients, TMP began focusing on the niche market of U.S. Yellow
Pages advertising sales and grew to become the world's largest
Yellow Pages agency.
Seeking ways to expand its expertise, TMP
entered into the recruitment advertising business in 1993 through
strategic acquisitions. TMP Advertising & Communications
quickly earned its place among the top recruitment advertising
firms by offering comprehensive human capital solutions and through
its reputation as an early adopter of interactive technology.
It was the pursuit of innovative technologies that led to the
acquisition of two of the earliest pioneers in the online careers
space - The Monster Board and Online Career Center (OCC) in 1995.
These purchases would usher in a new era
of growth for the company. While TMP Worldwide went public in
1996, the career websites grew and eventually merged as Monster
in 1999, adopting the friendly green monster Trumpasaurus as
its icon. To convey its full focus on maximizing the potential
growth and value of Monster, TMP Worldwide was officially renamed
Monster Worldwide in 2003. To further align its business around
Monster, the original Yellow Pages business was sold in 2005.
