Page Communications has been named the public relations agency of record for Tom's Town Distilling Co. The agency is responsible for the development of media relations, social media and community relations strategies. The distillery produces premium craft spirits and is named after one of the nation's most corrupt political leaders, Tom Pendergast. Kansas City ignored Prohibition under Tom's leadership and emerged as a Midwest hub for jazz, gambling, and spirits, earning the title, “Paris of the Plains”. Pendergast famously quipped, “The people are thirsty”, when asked about how he justified ignoring Prohibition. Tom's Town Distillery believes that the people of Kansas City are still thirsty and works to create quality craft spirits that are now available coast-to-coast. In 2015, Steve Revare and David Epstein founded Tom's Town and began distribution in the Midwest one year later. In 2017, USA Today named Tom's Town the Best Craft Vodka Distillery in the US. Additionally, each of their spirits has been nationally recognized for its outstanding taste and quality. Tom's Town pays homage to Pedergast's influence while making its own place amongst the rich history of Kansas City. Tom's Town joins an impressive list of local restaurant brands, including Tavern in the Village, Brookside Barrio, Third Street Social, Q39, HopCat KC, The Raphael Hotel, Andre's Confiserie Suisse and more.
