TOM Merilahti (Tom@Sicusynergy.org)’s Summary

Tom is a Creative and Experienced Marketing Integrator and Communication Coordinator, who has been described as an Inborn Lateral Thinker, Self-willed Way Maker and Rebellious Forerunner. Train of thought: Think, Do and Make it Happen!

Tom is running a Globally Active Virtual Organization (SICU) - hunting after factual connections, synergies, networks and global partners, and fishing for new interesting clients, operations and projects within national & international marketing communication & project management.

SICU is especially interested in local, regional and international operations within Corporate Social Responsibilty, Cause Related Marketing projects and commonly in divergent Co-Operations within Integrated Marketing Communication.

The objectives of SICU are to offer innovative solutions and resources in order to solve problems of individual customers, and to create cost effectivity, added value and multiplicative effects for businesses, corporations, agencies, brands, industries, institutions, and ultimately consumers in diverse markets.

SICU Synergy Solutions Group (SICU SSG) is a multidimensional virtual organization (looking for new partners) operating both "glocally" and globally through its affiliates, global partners and members located all over the world (Think Global, Act local!).

The expectation is that drawing Professionals representing divergent professional disciplines, different organizations, from different parts of the world under the same "sunshade" may be the catalyst needed to get over the coordination barrier, over all thinkable borders.

I'd like to characterise my way of thinking as lateral and very open minded, my way of action effective and my circle of contacts as exceptionally wide. The keywords of my activities are factual connections, creativity, interactivity, cost-effectivity, multiplicative effects and added-value. My slogan is Connects the Unconnected, and motto: Think the Unthinkable & Move the Immovable!

    By an associate & friend: "We often wonder about why we are here. This is certainly a question Tom has explored many times, and each time has re-invented himself in line with the true authentic self that reveals itself to him. This metamorphosis is necessary for the growth of the individual self. Tom has taken many journey's and each one has given him the wonderful experiences that has helped shape a certain restrained wisdom; a gentleman's wisdom, which he gladly and willingly shares with those he meets. I have been fortunate to know Tom for a long time, and have witnessed and understood the new self he presents to me each time he returns from an inward journey."_Michael Pokocky Founder & CEO of Sophistica World 2006.
