FMG Publications has recruited Tom Vorel to the advertising sales team representing the North East region.

“Tom brings a wealth of industry knowledge and experience to FMG,” said Randy Molde, FMG VP of business development. “It won’t take long for our advertising partners to appreciate his guidance and expertise in effective media placement. We’re thrilled to have him representing all of our brands.”

Vorel joins South East advertising and marketing manager Paula Iwanski, and West region account executive Delano Amaguin. He will be working out of the Chicago, IL area.

“I feel very lucky to be joining the team at FMG,” said Vorel. “With a deep gun publishing tradition to both consumers and businesses, and well-respected staff with a reputation of being willing to work with and promote our industry, I am looking forward to getting started and helping build upon the great foundation at FMG. What intrigues me the most and ultimately provides the roots for success is the commitment to the reader."

"While other publishing companies cut back on frequency, paper stock and coverage, the team at FMG continues to provide their readers with solid editorial, and is investing in initiatives to attract new readers whether print or digital."

"These are very exciting times to be joining FMG and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.”

Tom started out in the outdoor and shooting sports industry 20 years ago with roles at Shooting Sports Retailer, Fur-Fish-Game and Police Marksman. He transitioned out of the outdoor industry for a decade before returning to the outdoor industry in 2011 to sales and associate publisher roles at North American Media. Vorel also worked for Carbon Media Group in a sales role where he learned, and was exposed to, many different and ever-changing forms of digital and video.

In addition to his new position at FMG, Tom owns an independent publisher’s representation company where he sells multi-media campaigns representing publishers in various other outdoor verticals.
