To me this looks like a submarine article for Amplemarket. Reading between the lines, John had trouble with sales on Monitorbook, so he created Amplemarket and used it to increase growth.

If that's the case it's doubly remarkable, but keeping that information secret seems sleazy. Am I crazy for thinking that?

Not even a good shill. On the amplemarket front page "John from Monitorbook" says he has a team of 15 sales reps. On the marketing post he says he has a team of 6.
It's a good idea, but not entirely correct. Looks like the founder of Amplemarket is a different John, but probably a friend or something.

I'm almost 100% certain "John Averi" and "John Carroll" aren't real people (notice you can't see the faces). Would be worth looking into who's actually running these companies (doesn't seem to be any public information available).
