Bio
Milt Thomas
Tom lives and breathes what most find to be ethereal and formless -- creative cognition. Affectionately known as "TK," he is more like a TKO when it comes to tackling messaging formulation for product positioning. He does not show up dressed to play, he shows up to win, with every move squarely and intently executed for perfected delivery of that objective. If your mission is to work within the lines of tried & true & safe, then Tom likely is not your man from the standpoint of making the smartest investment, though he can play it as safe as your sense of risk and need warrant. Get to know Tom ... and you'll, then, know and appreciate the difference between "better" and "good."

I have never known a person as devoted to his work as Tom. His energy and enthusiasm have a positive effect on everyone around him. Each day, he's the first in and the last out and is always ready to provide support and advice whenever it's needed. Tom is the consummate professional with a treasure of knowledge that is simply unique.

TK is one of the unsung heroes in the branding space. He has two things that I appreciate: 1) creative rolodex with "A" talent 2) As a project leader, his collaborative style and commitment to the highest standards of creative work . TK is dedicated to advising media brands around the world and is well known for a diverse list of branding accomplishments. Our work together now spans 12 years through a diverse project list and as a corporate executive for: Broadcast network branding in Russia, corporate communications in the US and Russia, multi-platform advertising projects and local news branding for broadcast television.
