Tom, founder of Adams Media Research, has been widely acknowledged as a leading authority on the U.S. home entertainment markets. Tom developed the analytical models and databases that are the basis for AMR's estimates and projections of the US media markets, and works closely with his team of analysts to generate original models of new content and distribution initiatives, strategic reports, newsletter articles, industry white papers and strategic consultations that provide actionable intelligence to content producers, network providers, packaged media retailers, technology innovators and media investors. Tom founded AMR in 1993 to focus on the impact the emergence of digital technologies such as DVD, the Internet and digital cable would have on the revenue and profit models for media content production and distribution. He previously spent six years as senior analyst at Paul Kagan Associates, covering home video, pay TV, publishing, and emerging consumer media technologies.
