Media

Piotrowski regularly presents stock market updates for CommSec on Australian television.[2]

As a result of his presence on television, he has become a cult figure, including inspiring fansites on social networking sites Facebook and Myspace.[3][4][5] Rove McManus paid tribute to him on his show Rove Live with regular crosses to Tom Piotrowski detailing the week in finance throughout 2009.

In 2013, his decision to grow a beard led to Facebook groups supporting[6] and opposing[7] the move and a media report asking 'Has Commsec guy Tom Piotrowski gone too far with his caveman beard?'.[8]
