About TMG Speakers

The Maximus Group (TMG) is the premier Catholic communications agency, with offices in Atlanta, San Diego, and Philadelphia. Since 2004, TMG has been providing media relations and marketing services to Catholic apostolates, organizations, institutions and individuals. In addition, TMG has been successful in executing some of the most recognized marketing campaigns for faith and family-friendly films to the Catholic space. Serving as the bridge between Catholic America and the secular world, TMG has been responsible for marketing and media work on The Passion of The Christ, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Nativity Story, Rocky Balboa and the new Epic Stories of the Bible installment, The Ten Commandments. In 2007, TMG co-produced and served as the exclusive marketer for our own award-winning film series, Champions of Faith.

TMG was largely responsible for the unprecedented media placements of faithful Catholic commentators and spokespersons on secular radio, television and print outlets following the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of Pope Benedict XVI. Since 2005, Maximus has placed close to 500 Catholic speakers in the media including appearances on FOX, MSNBC, CBS, CNN, EWTN, USA Today, the National Catholic Reporter, the NY Times, Newsweek and U.S. Catholic among many other. Most recently, Maximus worked with CNN, FOX, CBS and numerous top secular print weeklies to place commentators in conjunction with the Pope Benedict XVI's papal visit to the United States.

TMG represents many of the most popular and impactful projects and organizations of value to Religious America. Clients include heads of foundations, Newman Center directors, publishers, cultural commentators, authors, Pro-Life directors and filmmakers. TMG works on behalf of Catholic hospitals, college programs, abortion after care resources, pro-life organizations, television networks, financial groups, consulting firms, Catholic ministries and apostolates, production companies and other marketers, providing services including media relations, direct and non-traditional, strategic counsel, communications and messaging, and development consulting.

The new TMG Speakers Bureau represents a wide range of speakers whose topics address faith and apologetics issues, biblical seminars, business and financial management series, cultural and diginity of life commentary (ex. Theology of the Body, Abortion Recovery, Pro-Life, New Feminism), inspiration, as well as film and entertainment. TMG is an excellent resource for dioceses, business organizations, parishes and institutions needing a keynote speaker with a Catholic, pro-life or pro-family perspective. Our speakers not only provide compelling teaching and formation experiences but they share powerful stories about their journey and their work that transform audiences. Our speakers are not only faith-filled storytellers, but they are vetted for wisdom, compassion and understanding which results in dynamic presentations that enlighten and inspire.

The TMG Speaker coordinators are committed to working with your venue planner on every level from discernment of appropriate speaker for your event, to additional resources you may need in conjunction with the event, to publicity plans and materials to make your event a success. We are a true partner to your organization and we will ensure that your event is organized from start to finish.

We are determined to be an unparalled communications bridge between the sacred and the secular communities around the world. We are dedicated to providing services and solutions for our partners and customers that achieve results and change the culture in the process. We are committed to our relationships with intelligent, engaging and faithful speakers and commentators as well as with the media and venue coordinators who host them on their outlets and at their events. And finally, we are unapologetically at the service to the Catholic faith which we believe is the source and summit of Christianity.

Sincerely,

Lisa Wheeler
