Tommy Kane has created print ads and television commercials for major corporations over the past 25 years. Sony, IBM, Samsung, BASF and Barnes & Noble to name a few. Steve Madden came to Kane 12 years ago as a three million dollar shoe company. Tommy created one of the most memorable advertising campaigns of the last decade. Steve Madden said it was a major reason his company grew to 100 million in sales. A few years later, Kane did a campaign for Yellow Tail wines. It was the most successful launch of a wine brand in US history. Early in his career, he art directed many rock videos for MTV. Lenny Kravitz, Robert Palmer and Buster Poindexter among them. He is also a mildly accomplished illustrator and a bit of a nudnick.
