Tom Martin
Chief Executive Officer
Our business philosophy has always been to treat customers the same way that we would want to be treated. That means fairly and with respect—and it means giving our best to every client and every project. There is a great camaraderie and a true dedication to excellence among our staff, and we have a great time collaborating to deliver excellent results.”
In 1982, Tom Martin founded Cramer Productions, purchasing the video equipment sales operations of Cramer Electronics where he had served as corporate controller. Over the next two decades, Tom grew the business to include corporate events, interactive media, internet design, web casting, print, and design services. (In 1997, Tom purchased and helped construct an advanced new facility—turning a 70,000 sq. ft. warehouse into New England’s premier production and design center.)
Today, Cramer is a unique, full-service digital marketing and events solutions agency, combining strategic marketing, creative and production services under one roof. The company employs a staff of 160 talented individuals comprised of marketing strategists, creative directors, production managers, producers, account managers, designers, developers and support personnel. Tom continues to oversee all operations, helping Cramer to service a wide variety of regional and global clients.
Tom also focuses the company’s resources on the production and marketing of award-winning sports programs. Cramer produced the critically-acclaimed Boston Red Sox: 100 Years of Baseball History; the Emmy Award-winning Banner Years: The Official History of the Boston Garden; the PBS special The Story of Golf; as well as Home Run Heroes, a tribute to legendary Red Sox batters; Ray Bourque: The First 20 Years; and Boston’s Greatest Sports Stories: Beyond the Headlines. These productions rate among the nation’s best selling special interest videos.
Tom is also remembered as an outstanding athlete. While a student at Boston College in the 1960s, Tom was twice honored as a First Team Ice Hockey All-American. He was inducted into BC’s Hall of Fame, and his hockey jersey was retired and hangs from the rafters at Conte Forum. Tom was Alternate Captain of the 1964 Olympic Hockey Team. He is the 2005 recipient of the Lou Lamoriello Award, which recognizes a former college hockey player or coach who has created a unique professional record of accomplishment. These days, Tom is an avid golfer and has many club and state golf accomplishments, including being the winner of the New England Senior Amateur Golf Championship in 2003.
At the heart of it all, Tom Martin is a devoted family man. He and his wife June celebrated forty-seven years of marriage in 2009 with their six sons, one daughter and 20 grandchildren.
