THE STORY
Tony Pullaro is a marketing, social media and PR pro. He has been able to blend these ideals into an exciting career having marketed for Datz Restaurant Group, Red Mesa Group and now RM Global/Regener-Eyes.
Tony is an indigenous epitome of a true Tampanian – born, raised and educated. At the University of Tampa, he embarked on his initial journey into broadcast journalism. Yet, like many, he changed his course and found his path of purpose when he heard a voice calling him from the world of marketing and PR, and found it to be the ideal creative outlet for his love of aesthetics and media.
Tony’s true calling has enabled him to professionally indulge in many incredible media and celeb experiences. These include scarfing down doughnuts with Ms. Paula Deen; landing the first “Eat Like Jesse” segment on Good Morning America with correspondent, former NFL quarterback and TV Bachelor Jesse Palmer; proudly branding Dr. BBQ The Restaurant around Food Network personality Dr. BBQ, Ray Lampe; and promoting HLN’s Tums Ultimate Tailgate, hosted by NFL pro Coy Wire for the National Championship College Football Playoff of 2017.
