There’s luxury and then there’s the Tom Florio Standard. In this electrifying episode of The Million Dollar Branders Podcast, Justine sits down with Tom Florio, a visionary and media titan who didn’t follow influence, he created it.
Tom Florio is the founder and CEO of ENTtech Media, a media-tech firm uniting entertainment, media, and tech. He shook the industry by acquiring the cultural icon PAPER Magazine, redefining modern media in the process.
With over three decades of elite experience, Florio's legacy includes serving as Publishing Director at Condé Nast, overseeing titles like Vogue, GQ, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, and Teen Vogue. He also served as Senior Advisor to Theodore J. Forstmann on fashion and later became CEO of Advanstar Fashion Group, where he shaped fashion trade shows and launched the iconic documentary series The Tents.
His impact was globally recognized when Business of Fashion (BoF500) named him one of the 500 Most Important People in Fashion and appointed him to its Board of Directors in 2013.
Tom breaks down elegance, editorial, and enterprise, the pillars brands crave but few master. He reveals the difference between chasing clout and building empires.
Because every brand wants attention. Few deserve it. Tom explains why.
This episode is for the bold, the brave, the visionaries and the builders who know that real influence isn’t bought, it’s built brick by brick.
