Todd Thomas’ childhood was spent talking over intros on the radio and buying the Top Ten 45's each week so he could count them down himself on his stereo system in his bedroom. The real career started at legendary WLLZ (Detroit) where he worked his way up from an intern...to on-air...to programming. From there, his programming "prowess" took him to New Hampshire, Tennessee, Connecticut and back to Michigan. Had some great successes, learned a lot from the failures, met some phenomenal people along the way. Decided to jump off of the "radio carousel" in 2012, when he joined Comcast to get their need for a digital traffic team off of the ground. To say that the culture-shock was jarring would be an understatement, but it was great for Todd to see life on the other side of a PPM. Then, in 2015, he was lucky enough to have the CEO of Futuri Media, Daniel Anstandig, contact him about helping grow and manage his massively successful business. Since going "all in" with Futuri, it’s added major products, doubled the size of the team, and continue to partner with radio and television in ways that no other company can.

A member of the 2015-2016 Broadcast Leadership Training Program (BLT) through the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation, Laura, with guidance and support from some of the industry’s top executives, focuses on the unique process of accessing, purchasing, owning, and operating radio and television stations. This training provides a blueprint for talented business people, like Laura, to advance industry knowledge while fine-tuning their leadership skills.

Our entire team is dedicated to driving results with integrity, honor, trust, creativity and unparalleled talent and expertise, and we throw ourselves into forging success together.

Twenty years ago in Orlando, Florida, a webmaster named Kim Johnson sent a letter to a General Manager that read "I love Real Radio 104.1, and I think people like me who love the station would like to see some pictures. Will you please hire me to build your website? I have a great background in public relations for The New York Times and VIBE Magazine. I learned everything I know from Jack Falla at Sports Illustrated, and I interned in PR for the Boston Celtics." Fast forward to 2017. Kim's resume includes leading digital revenue for Tribune Broadcasting, Tribune Publishing (now tronc), Clear Channel (now iHeartMedia), Citadel, and Entercom. She ran sales for an out-of-home company in the Top 11 US Hispanic markets. Name the brand - she has sold them an ad - often times, it was the first ad sold using a new technology. As a consultant, she has sold millions of dollars in ad tech SaaS licenses in 26 countries. It is no exaggeration to say hundreds of digital sales leaders today credit Kim as a mentor, friend, and key element of their career success stories. But an exciting resume isn't what's important to Kim. Her son, Clark, a college student and budding chef in Orlando, tops the list. Bands, baseball, and beach fill her free time.
