About

Tom Fishburne is the founder of Marketoonist, a creative studio built around his marketing cartoons. His weekly Marketoonist series reaches hundreds of thousands of readers and has been featured by The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The New York Times. He keynotes by drawing on his own cartoons to skewer the gaps between how marketing is supposed to work and how it actually plays out inside organizations, covering marketing, technology, innovation, and the future of work.

Fishburne has spoken at more than two hundred events across more than thirty countries, including multiple talks at Google and an appearance at TED headquarters. He is a recurring speaker at the MarketingProfs B2B Forum, where he delivered a recent opening keynote built around his comic strips, and at the MarTech Conference, where he closed the West edition. His style is funny and visual, using cartoons as a Trojan horse for sharp critique that marketing audiences recognize in their own teams.

He is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and speaks internationally.
