Tom Kerr, 38

Tom Kerr’s LinkedIn bio bills him as a “new age advertising account service specialist.” So, of course, we had to ask him what that means.

“I really haven’t updated that in a while,” he laughs, “but what it means is I’m not just the sales guy … you know, old school account executives. All they really did was go out, go to dinners … they didn’t always have a lot of substance. I’m much more of a strategic person. I’m not just there to sell. I really invest in and spend a lot of time trying to improve my client’s business with my own thoughts, instead of just regurgitating what somebody behind the scenes is telling me.”
