“For nearly 20 years we’ve had the pleasure of working with Tom Brown and the hard-working, dedicated professionals at TLB Advertising. TLB’s creative is second to none in terms of quality and accuracy. They’ve never missed a deadline, and they go that extra mile to meet all their clients’ needs. We’ve worked with TLB Advertising on literally hundreds of retail projects nationwide in every category: home improvement, clothing, jewelry, furniture, autos, groceries, and department stores. These included a ‘who’s who’ of retailing: Elder Beerman Corral West, Homelife Furniture, Rite-Aid, Home Base, Payless Cashways—even national retail giants K Mart and J.C. Penney, just to name a few. But most importantly, it’s pride that sets TLB apart from the others, and the main reason why we work with, and will continue to work with TLB Advertising for the next 20 years.”

“Tom Brown was instrumental in the initial success of my business. My business is a highly promotional business where there is daily compression to quickly modify plans, negotiate rates, meet deadlines while maintaining fresh creativity for print, signs and broadcast advertising. Tom was able to excel at all promotional and business facets during the rapid growth of my business. At times, Tom was successfully managing up to ten individual promotional campaigns simultaneously and as a result, will always be considered the number one resource when Hilco Merchant Resources requires additional support.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Tom on a major Jewelry promotion in Florida. Despite the scope and tight deadlines imposed, we were able to meet all of the client’s goals and expectations. Being the first time we had worked with Tom and his client, we wanted to make a great impression. Tom made the process easy and the synergy was awesome! Coordinating the graphics, mailing list and postage requirements went without a hitch! All materials arrived on time, were accurate and the project went like clockwork! Tom was great to work with and I would work with him again in a heartbeat!”
