About Tom
"Life is a Highway"*
*Tom Cochrane
I don't know about you, but for me some songs just capture my suchness. This one and "Once in a Lifetime" nail it for me.

A Brief Work History of Tom
I started Thomas Advisors in 1992. For a couple of decades prior, I was an active agent in the transition from traditional print publishing and direct marketing to the nascent digital age. When the WWW launched in 1992 I was uniquely prepared.
During my career I have:
- integrated print, digital and online content for several publishers and e-commerce enterprises
- mastered a large array of digital publishing and marketing applications. My closet is a computer and software museum!
- created, deployed and managed websites, email, print collateral, subscription and sales programs for diverse enthusiast communities like
computer nerds
music enthusiasts
nursing mommies
world class sailors
financial and tax professionals
lobster lovers
yoga practioners
and a few stoners mixed in
- crafted online content for dramaticSEO improvements, tripling online conversion rates
- created strategic plans for for-profit and non-profit organizations
- vetted numerous ad agencies, list providers, and service bureaus integrating them into clients' strategic plans and execution.
- been Google Adwords & Analytics certified
After all this, I find working in an email world most enjoyable and satisfying.
"And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!... what have I done?" *
