Thoroughly deserved. Best of luck.
I appreciate that Tom has followed AWARD's rules of creative headshot: slightly tilted head - check, landmark in background - check, creative masterpiece (Eliasson) in background - double check!
Your Lumberjackness will be sorely missed at Creative Social, mate!
I've been lucky enough to work with Tom and easily place him on the world stage alongside anyone from any agency anywhere. He and Chris James are the best digital CD's this country has to offer. They both know what tech can do very well, but also understand what a big idea is and how that translates online. Rare fodder indeed!!! Go hard Tommy!
well done
Congratulations Tom!!!! It's fantastic to Australia's "Creative Social" Folk do well on the global scene.
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, i work all night and i work all day...
Congrats. One of the only digital people i know who understands that a social platform ain't an idea.
Tim, that's almost funny! Well done chap.
