Tom Fishburne Biography
Tom Fishburne started drawing cartoons on the backs of business cases as a Harvard Business School student.
From an emailed cartoon to coworkers in 2002, Tom’s Marketoonist series has grown by word of mouth to reach half a million readers a week. His cartoons have been featured by the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The New York Times. They’ve appeared twice on billboard ads in Times Square and once helped win a Guinness World Record.
Tom is a frequent international keynote speaker on innovation, marketing and digital transformation, using cartoons, case studies, and his marketing career to tell the story visually. Tom spoke at the TED headquarters in New York on “The Power of Laughing at Ourselves“. He was Cartoonist-in-Residence and Lecturer for the Stanford GSB course on humor in business and is a repeat lecturer on humor at Harvard Business School.
In 2010, Tom expanded Marketoonist into a cartoon studio focused on content marketing, thought leadership, and culture change. They’ve developed custom marketoon campaigns for over 200 businesses, including Adobe, Kronos, Lenovo Software, Dell, IBM, Russell Reynolds, Pitney Bowes, Deloitte, and DBS Bank.
Tom is the author of “Your Ad Ignored Here: Cartoons from 15 Years of Marketing, Business, and Doodling in Meetings.” He also illustrated 3 business books with Deloitte: “Provoke” (Wall Street Journal Bestseller), “Detonate” (National Bestseller), and “Work Disrupted.”
Tom draws (literally and figuratively) from 20 years in the marketing trenches in the US and Europe. He was Interim Chief Marketing Officer at HotelTonight, Managing Director for International at Method Products, and worked in brand management for Nestle and General Mills. Tom developed web sites for interactive agency iXL and started his marketing career selling advertising for the first English-language magazine in Eastern Europe.

Tom Fishburne Speaking Topics
We now have the ability to deliver more consistent and creative customer experiences than ever before. So why does customer engagement so often fall flat? We’ve all felt the pain of customer engagement that doesn’t work — customer journeys that break, consumer data without insight, attempts at personalization that misfire. A sense of humor can help us probe those pain points and explore how to become better marketers.
Technology changes exponentially; organizations change logarithmically. Most organizations haven’t kept pace with the potential brought by technology. From AI to data to digital transformation, technology initiatives are often adopted shallowly, missing their full potential. If we want to pursue technology transformation, we ultimately have to think about organizational transformation.
The creative process shouldn’t end after the brainstorm, yet ideas often suffer a thousand cuts on the path to launch. In this keynote talk, Tom will unpack the mindset that organizations need to adopt in order to develop remarkable marketing and innovations. He will frame ways to build a culture that champions creativity and overcomes idea killers. No idea is born perfect, and innovation requires the collective creative efforts of everyone in an organization.
Humor is the language of culture change. As former Apple executive Hiroki Asai put it, “Fear kills creativity and humor is our most powerful tool to drive fear out of the system.” Through humor, we are able to talk about topics that are otherwise difficult to talk about. We can better connect with others, whether in external marketing or driving internal culture change. In this keynote talk, Tom uses cartoons and case studies to help us all tap into our innate sense of humor and unlock the power of laughing at ourselves.
