When we restaged our brand, calling Tom Lanen saved us days of foundering about what to do and equally as many finding the right answers. Our website just would not have happened without him. We hit the boards running, and today are building an international customer base.

I’ve worked with Tom Lanen for well over 25 years. You don’t work with someone for that long unless they bring you real value. Whether it was a poster series at Boston Whaler, a brochure at LoJack, or sales promotion and support at Keurig, he’s always taken the time to understand my needs, and then made it happen, exceeding expectations.

During our five years together Tom worked incredibly well both up and down the organization; LISTENED and asked questions until he was sure that he understood the nuances of the challenge; and then developed innovative and consistently powerful on-target messages … on-schedule and on-budget!

Sharon Halter, Divisional President, Thermo Fisher Scientific

“As we started our new agricultural (organic foods) business, the last thing we could commit to was the time and attention a website design project would require. I knew I wanted + needed one, but how to go about it?

Fortunately we met Tom Lanen from ThomasBoston who worked with us to design a logo and a website. Not only were the paths we took to get there refreshing and creative, the time it took to design both were quick and on target with business objectives. Tom connected and understood the message we wanted to portray, helped structure the site features and navigation, and managed the project(s).

We are very pleased with the professional look and feel that our logo + website gives visitors. My husband and I are grateful to Tom for helping us launch Long Life Farm in such a professional manner.“

Laura Davis, Owner and Farmer, Long Life Farm, Organic CSA, Hopkinton, MA (former VP of Sales and Marketing for Covidien)

I have worked with Tom Lanen on three national marketing and sales programs. He and his teams always brought the right online and offline resources to bear in a cost-effective and timely manner. We put our heads together and one plus one doesn’t yield two; it equals ‘big number’. And that refers to results, not costs.
