History - The Convergence of Creativity and Analytics
Tom sold his first television program – a half hour documentary entitled We Met Again – while in his third year of undergraduate studies at Ryerson University in Toronto. While the documentary was initially produced as a student project, the CBC network was enthusiastic about it, and aired it four times nationally. This, and other early successes helped to establish Tom’s name within the Toronto production scene.
Hired by the CBC upon graduation, in his spare time, Tom launched the independent production company TBIM Sunrise with fellow entrepreneur and local D.O.P. Andrew Langevin. The company’s workload soon burgeoned so Tom left the national broadcaster to pursue independent production and freelance work full time.
TBIM Sunrise delivered several in-house documentaries, corporate videos and TV commercials, and the pair also worked on big budget, third-party commercials and feature films. Coke, Pepsi, Black Label, Whiskas, KFC, Sumsung, Pioneer Petroleum, The Heritage Foundation, Leon’s Furniture, AT&T and the Northern Lights Aerobatic Team were some of the brands TBIM Sunrise serviced.
After several years of grueling production work Tom was feeling the strains of his constant and high-pressure schedule so he decided to return to Winnipeg to pursue a Master’s degree in business. While studying part-time Tom worked for the provincial government as a program adjudicator, and in 2005 attained his M.B.A. designation from the University of Manitoba.
Tom left government soon afterwards to pursue freelance copy writing and marketing consulting full-time. Over this period he has serviced many local brands as a result of his affiliation with local branding company Velocity Design Works, and later his most recent marketing consulting affiliate The Brand Bureau. Western Health Services, Wholesum Nutrition, Quantus Software, Frantic Films, All Nations Print, Great Morning Eggs and Prairie Orchard Farms are some of the regional brands Tom has worked with.
With solid academics and a creative/production background, Tom’s skills and expertise have converged within a marketing and communications framework. Building on his film, video and audio production experience, Tom has added copy writing, web and collateral publishing to his already extensive repertoire.
