“We are thrilled with the Top 10, and it has been exciting to watch the social media interaction take place in real time,” notes Rob Goldberg, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Restaurants for Tommy Bahama. “There is no doubt in my mind that one of these 10 finalists will make a great first-ever Tommy Bahama Rumologist.”
Each of the contestants has now been invited to participate in the next round, which will involve submitting both a new video and a new personal statement. The judging panel will narrow the field to the Top 5 and the public will once again vote for their favorite Rumologist with the winner being announced on or around October 6, 2011.
Stay tuned!
