ABOUT TOM DUCHENE
Growing up in a \"direct mail family\" I have been around the marketing business my entire life. Summers in high school were spent running mailing machines & printing presses. After attending UCLA as one of the first Communication Studies majors, I went directly to work for a Political Consulting agency and had the opportunity to work with some of the biggest campaigns of the late \'70\'s & \'80\'s. One, the landmark Proposition 13 campaign in California was the first popular initiative qualified entirely via direct mail.In 1979 I joined the family business, AMS Response, a full service print, data & mail production organization. Over the next 8 years I worked in virtually every area of the business and in 1987 became the leader of the firm. Over the next 19 years our team of direct marketing pros grew annual revenue over 400%, to $12 million, by developing relationships with top ad agencies and Fortune corporations all over the US.In 2006 we sold AMS to World Marketing, an Omaha World Herald company, and I became VP of Sales for World-LA, successfully increasing new business revenue & implementing litho & data services platforms in the organization.In August 2009 I organized TDMS, Inc, a Marketing Services Provider serving clients from a wide variety of industries.
