Tom Fishburne

Artist, Entrepreneur, Marketer

I'm a cartoonist, marketer, and entrepreneur. I started drawing cartoons on the backs of business cases as a student at Harvard Business School. My cartoons have grown by word of mouth to reach 100,000 marketers every week and have been featured by the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, Forbes, and the New York Times. I'm the founder and CEO of Marketoon Studios, a cartoon studio that develops visual content marketing for businesses such as GE, Intuit, Vodafone, Electronic Arts, and Kronos. I draw from 16 years in the marketing and innovation trenches in the US and Europe, most recently as a VP at Method Products. During my five years with Method, I launched new products, led marketing, and started the European business from scratch. I've led brands at Nestle and General Mills, developed web sites and interactive campaigns, and helped launch the first English-language magazine in Prague. I also write, consult, and speak about business creativity, innovation, and marketing, using cartoons and case studies to help tell the story. I live and draw near San Francisco with my wife and two daughters.
