#149. Tom Fishburne on marketing & storytelling through cartoons
Tom Fishburne has never stopped drawing. From doodling as a kid to creating comics throughout Harvard Business School, Tom knows the power of visual communication and humor.
Now, with years of marketing experience and as the creator of Marketoonist, Tom’s entire company vision is to help businesses communicate better through visual storytelling and a bit of comedic relief.
Mikey and Molly chat with Tom about the intersection of marketing and visual communication and how he’s struck a chord with marketers around the world with his simple and effective cartoons.
We examine how to keep creativity alive within the marketing process and ask Tom about his own presentation preparation and experience giving a TED Talk.
This is an episode for: Marketers of all kinds and people that doodle in meetings.

Advice for someone who’s looking to get more creative?
“Don’t be afraid to draw…even stick figures, sometimes, can be more compelling than a dense PowerPoint slide…If you want to communicate an idea, do a 'back of the envelope' sketch and share that with somebody before you have a fully baked PowerPoint presentation that looks like it's final.”
Tom’s walkout song?
