[HTML1]More about Tom Martin
As President of Tom Martin Media, a full-service public relations firm based in Connecticut and New York City, Tom specializes in supporting clients who are dedicated to making a major difference in the world and who are focused on the empowerment of others.  Tom brings twenty years of network news experience and a vast range of personal connections to his projects, and this combination has resulted in coverage for his clients on broadcasts including Oprah, NBC’s Today Show, Good Morning America, and countless other broadcasts seen nationally and in the nation’s top demographic markets.

Through his media coaching work, Tom also enjoys working with authors, doctors, entrepreneurs and others to make the most of their interview opportunities.  He is especially proud of his media coaching work with the CEO of Feeding America, the nation’s largest non-profit network of food banks.  Recently, Tom began collaborating with the internationally known media coaching experts Joel and Heidi Roberts, and together they have worked with a wide range of authors to prepare them for interviews on NBC’s “Today” show and other broadcasts.

During his years as a news producer, Tom produced stories for leading journalists including Diane Sawyer, Charles Gibson, Charlie Rose, Charles Kuralt, Walter Cronkite, and many others.  His work in the news industry spanned a wide range of topic areas – from medicine to parenting, investigative reporting to finance.  Over the years, Tom has enjoyed collaborating with Paul McCartney, Steven Spielberg, Al Gore, George Soros, Tony Robbins, Sting, Miles Davis, Gen. Colin Powell, and many other well known individuals.  Following his work with CBS News, CNN, and ABC News, Tom moved into the field of public relations, serving in senior positions with a number of well known firms including Edelman Public Relations, Orbis, and Medialink Worldwide.

In 2005, Tom established Tom Martin Media, with the goal of providing clients with the kind of personalized attention that is rarely found in the PR field.  Rather than delegating the firm’s projects to junior-level assistants – which is common practice at most PR firms — Tom brings his vast journalistic experience to every project, and connects directly with many of the nation’s top news anchors and producers on behalf of his clients.  Although Tom enjoys working with a wide range of clients from many different fields, his work with authors brings him his greatest pleasure – and he has worked with authors published by major firms including Hachette, Random House and HarperCollins, as well as numerous self-published authors.  As can be seen from the dozens of testimonials on Tom’s LinkedIn profile page, this highly-personalized approach has brought tremendous results to his clients, and made it possible for them to deliver their messages to a vast audience here in the U.S. and throughout the world.

Tom and his wife Joanne live in Ridgefield, Connecticut with their two children Lindsay and Eric, and their ferocious beagle Lilly.
