Francis X. Tobin
Francis X. (Frank) Tobin is an award-winning entertainment publicist whose roster of clients encompasses film and television projects, faith-based media, corporate and manufacturing clients, non-profit organizations, personalities and special events. Over the course of his career, Tobin has produced results-oriented media campaigns and promotional strategies which have attracted media, viewership, ratings and consumer attention.

Tobin's publicity career highlights range from worldwide brand management of two international American television syndication hits to world premieres of independent films and documentaries to representation of over 20 television series and television movies to a national campaign for the US homeless community which culminated in two US Senate Conferences on Capitol Hill, to a variety of faith-based media campaigns and events for the Christian and Catholic communities to Meryl Streep's Broadway musical debut.

Tobin is the recipient of 2015 Catholics in Media Associates Service Award; the 2008 Hermes Award from The Association of Marketing & Creative Professionals; and the 2008 MarComm Award for "Outstanding Multi-Cultural Marketing & Special Event Management."

Tobin's roster of current and recent corporate and manufacturing clients include: The Evolved Education Company, Diamond Resorts International, Verizon Vehicle, Premio Foods Italian Sausage, Aristotle Circle, Green Smoke Electronic Cigarettes and lighting control industry pioneer Lighting Control & Design.

Tobin has also represented the independent film Eugene, and the documentaries America's Lost Band, In Spite of Darkness and Franz Jaegerstatter: Man of Conscience currently making the rounds of film festivals and the awards circuit, and the web-series The Funny Man and Leidy's New Boyfriend. For a complete list of Tobin's extensive television series and television movie unit publicity, visit his IMDB page.

Tobin has represented a wide range of non-profit and faith-based media clients, including the world premiere of the Auschitz documentary The Labyrinth: The Journey of Marian Kolodziej; Family Theater Productions' The Rosary at The Rose Bowl; the Catholics in Media Awards; the network premiere of Franciscan Communications' Assisi Pilgrimage: Walking in Faith with Francis and Clare," the annual Gabriel Awards; Catholic Athletes for Christ's Faith Bowl III, Regent University's Candlelight Forum, the largest gathering of Christian broadcasters in Hollywood history, and the City of Angels Film Festival.

Tobin has had a long association with gospel music recording artist and harpist Jeff Majors, host and star of TV One's The Gospel of Music with Jeff Majors, building the brand for his not-for-profit faith-based volunteer organization, The Network of Doves and his annual Jeff Majors National Tour for the Homeless which travels to a dozen US cities each year. These efforts crystallized in with the planning and execution of two back-to-back U.S. Senate Symposia on Homelessness in America in 2008 and 2009 in the Russell Long Senate Office Building in Washington, DC.

Frank Tobin Public Relations was founded in 1989 at the suggestion of Frank's clients - specifically Carroll O'Connor who was then starring in and executive producing In the Heat of The Night and Lee Phillip Bell, co-creator and co-executive producer of The Young and The Restless and The Bold and The Beautiful. Within two years, Frank's client base expanded to include the international television series of New World Television including Santa Barbara, Paradise Beach and Pacific Drive .

Non-entertainment clients have included Carroll O'Connor's Place Restaurant and such annual events such as Best Buddies International's Annual LA Summer Gala and City of Hope's Racing for Hope at Santa Anita Race Track. Personal publicity clients included Carroll O'Connor, Melody Thomas Scott, television producer Edward Scott and Ben Stein.
