As one of the youngest ever to win the coveted Emmy Award, Tom Bernthal has been recognized by his peers as one of America's rising stars in consumer behavior, communications and marketing research.
After honing his skills working in communications for the White House and traveling the world for NBC News, Bernthal is now a sought after and skilled marketing consultant, researcher and moderator for both Kelton Research and The Omnibus Company.
Bernthal has written, supervised, produced or conducted more than 1,000 focus groups, surveys and Instant Response sessions. His research has assessed the views of more than 1 million Americans. He has moderated in 42 of the 50 states, in four countries, and in three languages.
In just the past five years, Bernthal has been tapped to help create compelling messages by Fortune 500 companies, emerging start-ups and some of the nation's most prominent law firms.
Tom developed his Midwestern values at The University of Wisconsin - Madison, where he founded a student marketing agency and ran the nation's third oldest collegiate newspaper, The Daily Cardinal.
Gareth Schweitzer came to The Omnibus Company from the world of political journalism. One of the youngest members of the White House Correspondent's Association, Gareth covered the White House and Capitol Hill, honing his communication and interview skills daily on local and nationally syndicated radio, Fox News Channel and CNN, and as an embedded correspondent covering the War in Iraq – all before he ever did so in a formal research setting.
Since then, Gareth has led, moderated and analyzed hundreds of qualitative and quantitative projects for Fortune 500 clients, emerging businesses, government organizations, and law firms. His project work has focused on leveraging research to identify brand equities; Gareth’s background in radio and television have made him an expert at translating those equities into simple, concise, consumer friendly communications.
Gareth spent his university years north of the border at McGill University in Montreal studying political science, economics, and Spanish.
