Madison, WI - Full Compass, a national leader in professional audio, video, AV and lighting sales, recently announced the addition of Tom Farley as its Advertising and Marketing Manager.

Tom Farley is originally from Madison, WI and graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in Marketing. He has over fifteen years of worldwide marketing experience working at financial institutions in New York including Citibank, Bear, Sterns & Co. and KPMG. Tom Farley also manages The Chris Farley Foundation, the nationally recognized non-profit he created in 1999 to develop drug and alcohol prevention programs for youth audiences. In 2003, Farley returned to Madison where he served as Director of Marketing for the Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau and more recently authored the New York Times bestselling book, The Chris Farley Show, A Biography in Three Acts.

"It's not easy finding creative class marketing opportunities that are both national in scale, yet still able to maintain a culture that is as enriching and unique as Madison itself," stated Farley. Full Compass, who recently moved into newly built, expanded facilities, looks to capitalize on Farley's diverse experience to help them push into newer technologies and specialized markets.
