Tom Thompson

Tom’s journey began at Florida State University and took many winding roads before landing here at Stratus. After school Tom went into advertising, cutting his teeth working with Fortune 500 clients in the big agency world of Wilshire Boulevard. Combining that experience with knowledge gained while working at the dot-com startup, Hydrogen Media, Tom partnered with a few colleagues to form Digital Stormfront, a groundbreaking and much heralded digital advertising agency. As Managing Director, Tom guided the company to meteoric growth up until its eventual acquisition. Tom then founded the media consulting firm Cinelight Studios. The firm boasted an impressive roster of clients including, NASCAR, Princess Cruise Lines, AMTRAK, and Anchutz Entertainment Group. In spite of the “big-shot” client list, Tom’s attention and efforts began migrating toward product development. Since then, Tom has developed a varied array of products from software to sunglasses and those products have been sold on anything from infomercials to in-home shopping networks.
