Tom Myers, Managing Director, is the agency's founder and serves as chief strategist and account manager.
With a career-to-date filled with a heavy dose of adventure and success, founding an agency fulfills a long-time dream for Tom.
Growth has been a theme throughout Tom's career – every company he's ever been associated with has grown substantially. Some of them, meteorically. He's done that with fresh thinking, hard work, building genuine relationships, knowing when to zig and when to zag, being blessed with great intuition, and by holding himself to sometimes impossibly high standards. He has earned a reputation as the one who gets things done, and the one you want in your corner.
Tom has broad marketing leadership experience, including extensive client-side and agency experience, for both public and private companies. He's been a client, so he knows what challenges marketing departments and companies face, first-hand.
From launching new aircraft programs, to developing new markets for misunderstood products, to tackling tough strategic issues, there isn't much Tom hasn't done. He is equally comfortable with big-picture strategy as detailed tactics. His work has been at the leading edge of thinking in digital, connectivity and customer experience. As Senior Director, Global Marketing at Gogo, he played a critical marketing and leadership role in the company's rise from small startup to global prominence, receiving numerous awards and accolades along the way. He got a whole generation of travelers online by introducing the world's first widely-adopted in-flight Internet solution. And by opening new markets and removing stale perceptions, he helped the Pilatus PC-12 earn its place as the world's best-selling turbine business aircraft.
Tom has traveled extensively, domestically and globally, doing business on six continents. At his core, integrity, trust, and servant leadership are more important to Tom than anything else.
On a personal note, Tom makes the most out of living in Colorado by biking, hiking, and training for triathlons. An experienced pilot, he holds a FAA Commercial Pilot certificate with instrument & multi-engine ratings, and is a Certified Flight Instructor (CFII).
