Melissa McComas

Melissa K. McComas; CEO: Tsunami Worldwide Media; Formerly Tsunami Productions, was founded by Melissa K. McComas in 2000 as a corporate marketing firm to Fortune 500 companies, with an interest in broadcast television. Seeing a gap in the vertical marketplace the idea of a multi-faceted agency crossing industries was the ideal prospectus in an ever changing corporate arena. Ms. McComas is known as a brand architect within the Fortune 500 Environment. Ms. McComas' role as CEO in any given day begins with negotiating broadcast agreements, producers contracts and intellectual property agreements, merchandising & sponsorship agreements, licensing and syndication agreements on national and an international level. As an Executive Producer for over 40 television series' Ms. McComas guided the overall creative process and decisions from casting to script approval, show-running, underwriting, budgeting and syndication. As a Marketing Executive, McComas spends a large block of time coordinating and developing corporate branding, public relations, event development and execution. As a Public Speaker, McComas regularly holds speaking engagements with industry press and trade sheets and industry Q & A's on various topics and applications of the multi-media entertainment industry. She has a prior background in Marketing, Acquisitions and Divestures; In the Retail, Oil, Cosmetic, Publishing, and Entertainment Industries. Leadership of the firm had transitioned into expressly handling the television distribution rights of independent producers to broadcast and cable networks. That success was followed by the firm's decision to focus on the conglomerate of independent production studios and the distribution of their collective assets thus increasing Tsunami's portfolio and becoming a major contender in the television marketplace. Tackling the ever-changing television landscape the company tapped into "the art of the deal" with their prior successes in the retail & advertising world to create unique brand opportunities and sponsorships for their clients while increasing viewership and revenues for multiple broadcast & cable outlets. In the past decade Tsunami Worldwide Media has represented over 100+ TV programs in series as well as 1000+ Product Placement and Sponsorship Options for various advertising agencies, public relations firms and retail corporations.
