About SK
We are a small business. We understand the need to reduce expenses. That's why we provide a wide range of services to help organizations, small businesses and individuals save time and money.
Serving as your organization's marketing department, providing services on a project by project basis, or on retainer, we do what we do, so you can do what you do. We are proud to bring our years of strategic marketing and communications expertise to our partners to help them meet and exceed their goals.
After spending almost two decades working for large and small, for-profit and non-profit organizations, Owner Monica Stoneking decided to share her marketing and communications expertise with small, new and non-profit organizations with limited budgets. She brings executive-level experience to these organizations at a part-time employee cost.
In a quest to provide better service to our partners, Rick Stoneking joined the team in April 2015. SK Consulting is not an agency. We work with our partners full-time as contract employees or consultants. We do not charge hourly or agency rates, unless it is in the best interest of our partners. We work until we get the job done and we work with our partners and within their budget to determine their needs.

Monica Stoneking - President/Consultant
I am a firm believer that any business can be successful if the right plan is in place. You can have all of the passion in the world for your business, its products or services and your customers. However, that passion needs to be put into a plan - a strategic plan.
I have been very fortunate in my personal and professional lives. I have worked for great organizations that make positive differences in the lives of others. My goal and mission in life has always been to help others succeed.
Through SK Consulting, I am able to do what I love - and I love what I do. I am honored to serve businesses that help people get and stay healthy. I am touched by the mission of the non-profit organizations I help. I am inspired by the small business owners, the entrepreneurs who help sustain our local economy. I understand the struggle of working within a limited budget and I want to help our partners maximize their business potential while minimizing their expenditures.
As wife and a mom to an twelve-year old boy and two four-legged kiddos, I appreciate the value of a dollar. Knowing the difference between necessities and luxuries is vital. Let's just say, the Dollar Store is my friend.
Monica Stoneking received a B.S. in Communications/Journalism from Truman State University and earned a Master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Missouri - Columbia.
Rick Stoneking - Vice President/Consultant
With more than 20 years of strategic sales and business marketing experience, I've always taken great strides to offer my clients effective options to help grow their business. I have always learned about my clients by thoroughly researching the marketplace, the history of their business and their target audiences. This knowledge helps me better design and execute a customized, comprehensive plan. I've never believed in selling a plan to a client just to make a sale. Business owners are faced with a lot of tough decisions and if I can help make those decisions easier for them by showing them results, then I have done my job.
That’s why I’m so excited to be a part of SK Consulting. We are offering great services that every business needs. In fact, it is our job to help our partners spend wisely and to get the most bang for their buck. It's about doing what's best for our partners. And although everyone is in business to make money, our focus at SK Consulting is on saving our partners money while still delivering high-dollar results.
Rick has a B.S. in Civil Engineering and an M.B.A. with an emphasis in Marketing – both from the University of Missouri – Columbia.
