Frank Maggio first briefly captured the national spotlight in 1985, when the 23 year old former Emory University Woodruff Scholar, turned Procter & Gamble sales manager, "cracked the code" on the largest promotional contest in consumer products history. Maggio eventually claimed over $21 million in prizes in the Beatrice "Monday Night Winning Line-up."
Two years later, a confidential settlement led to Maggio's early – and temporary - retirement. Settling and raising his family in the St. Petersburg market area, Frank created leading regional companies in two diverse areas: waterfront development, and new media. Currently, Mr. Maggio's companies are the leading owners of marinas on Florida's West Coast. He also holds one U.S. Patent (#6,606,745), and has seventeen others pending globally, covering areas as diverse as tidal surge protected dockage, to Video On Demand home shopping methods. One of Maggio’s companies, erinMedia, recently received its sixth U.S. patent in the TV ratings sector.
Since the late 1980's, real estate ventures controlled and operated by Maggio or his companies have created and developed some of the most spectacular communities and marinas in Florida. Maggio's “reactive” broadband TV network, ReacTV, has been built to empower tens of millions of American consumers, providing them with the ability to vote and react to live TV content and advertisements within seconds of a broadcast.
Mr. Maggio is a frequent contributor to online publication Mediapost’s TV Board section.
