About us

in short, bona fide = being real.  real to ourselves, real to our clients, real to the world.  this venture combines our founder's history in two seemingly separate worlds - music and marcomms. Tom simultaneously toured the world as a session drummer, managed international DJs and ran a record label, all while holding down a career in PR. after playing a festival stage or curating a rave at the weekend - he'd be back at a FTSE 100 boardroom the following week.  he has since realised that these worlds are not seperate at all. whether a B2B tech brand, record label or DJ - story telling, brand identity and keeping it real, matters.  OUR ETHOS real. relentless. result-driven. always excited. curious. genuine. Let's Create Something Real.

    music and marcomms. create something real.

    Some big news! After 13 years of full-time employment, I'm taking the plunge to be the boss at my new venture - bona fide mgmt. We supply both music and marcomms services, why? Because they're two parts of my life I had kept completely separate, until now. I've not shouted about it previously on LinkedIn, but alongside my career in PR and marcomms - I'm a musician, music manager and record label owner. I've toured the world as a session drummer, continue to manage an international DJ and producer, and run a record label that has had tracks featured on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM and countless Spotify playlists. After playing a festival stage or curating a rave at the weekend - I'd be back at a a boardroom the following week to discuss marcomms strategy and deliver for clients for various agencies or my colleagues at my previous employer, PM Connect. I loved every minute of both parts of my life, which stimulated different elements of my creative and business brain. However, for years I treated them as two opposing silos that fought each other. I have since realised that these worlds are not separate at all. Whether a B2B company, record label or DJ - story telling, brand identity and keeping it real, matters. Therefore, at bona fide mgmt - with 'bona fide music' and 'bona fide marcomms' divisions, we're providing marcomms services for businesses both in and outside the music industry, alongside my music management work. This is a big change and one I've been nervous about making, but I'm thrilled to say I already have a solid client base and long-term partners, which is a really positive initial step! However, we're very ambitious and if you're interested in growing your business, working with a company with true creativity and authenticity, who are real, relentless and result-driven - then do please get in touch. Thank you for listening!
