Crocmedia client Jake Tyson appeared on America‘s iconic morning TV chat show, The Today Show, on November 12.

Tyson taught do-it-yourself handyman tips to millions of NBC viewers across the US, while promoting his Redback Tools range.

Tyson‘s website, www.redbacktools.com was inundated with visitors in the minutes after his live appearance.

Hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb were so impressed by Tyson, known across the US as “The Handsome Handyman", that he was invited back on The Today Show in 2009.

Tyson has been touring the US on a Crocmedia–produced media tour which has also seen him make guest appearances on shows including Martha Stewart and Ryan Seacrest.

He finishes the tour as a guest on nationally–syndicated TV program, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, on December 12.
