Meet the Expert:

Tom Poe

Social Marketing Strategy Manager

What got you into this business in the first place?
I created my first website (music lyrics) in high school to teach myself HTML. After a few years—and many long nights—we were doing 15 million page views a month. It was a special feeling to know you were helping hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Ever since, I've been striving to create online communities that leave a lasting impact.
What attracted you to IMRE?
The people—extremely smart and creative with a great business sense.
What makes a great brand?
The ability to connect with customers on a personal level and truly improve their lives.
What talent do you wish you had?
I admire people who can clearly convey thoughts and ideas in a visual way. Whether it's with a paintbrush or mouse, I wish I could better express my ideas in design.
If you had to live on a desert island, what would you miss most?
Assuming I remembered to pack sunscreen, I'd have to say music. And of course my family.
Is there any food that helps you think more creatively?
I can't attest to its creative powers, but peanut M&Ms taste delicious around 2pm.
What's your favorite sports team?
Being born and raised in the Baltimore area, I have a homegrown fondness for the color purple. Ravens all the way.
Tell us about your pets.
Max the dog is a Lhasa Apso minus the goofy haircut. He rarely barks and has an unhealthy squirrel obsession.
What's your favorite TV program and your least favorite?
I'm a big fan of The Office and avoid any show whose name includes "Real Housewives of..."
What do you do for a good time outside of work?
My dining budget could feed a small nation. I love trying new restaurants and experiencing new foods. I've also been traveling more lately and really enjoy visiting other countries.
What are your favorite websites?
Twitter keeps me connected, Pandora keeps me energized, and Mint tells me when I'm spending too much money on dining out.
What do you like most about working at IMRE?
Everyone is focused on delivering exceptional results. We're more than just a big idea—we are there for our clients every day, helping make their business a success.
