With an athlete mindset, Tom has created a culture at Today’s Business that is built on the hard work and values he learned through his years playing football.
“People ask me all the time why I got into digital marketing and the industries we specialize in. I tell them I do it because digital marketing is similar to team sports. Great planning, execution, and passion wins. I tell every brand we work with that this is a partnership and I, and the entire Today’s Business Team, will be just as passionate about your brand as you are…so in return we WIN!”
