His Integrity Marketing, Brand Building and Winning the Media Game topics are full of real life experiences and practical advice.

In a former life Thomas Murrell was a TV and radio personality, executive producer and senior media executive … describing his 12 years at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as an "apprenticeship".
