In this week’s episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan talks with Tom Fishburne, the founder of Marketoonist, a content marketing agency that employs cartoons to make its point, and the author of “Your Ad Ignored Here.” His work reaches several hundred thousand marketers every week, and Seth Godin calls him the David Ogilvy of cartooning. In discussing his work, Fishburne says, “It’s fun for me, as someone who comes from both marketing and cartooning, to think about how cartoons can help solve marketing challenges.” He goes on to add, “Cartoons can ultimately bring empathy to a topic that can otherwise be very technical. Use humor as a bit of a Trojan horse — you get people laughing at certain behaviors or pain points — and it opens up a window to then deliver a deeper message.” Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: Fishburne’s decision to move to Prague on a whim cured his aversion to risk and changed his life. (1:36) Fishburne describes his creative process. (3:31) Fishburne reveals the impetus behind his new book, “Your Ad Ignored Here” (6:42) The Jolly Green Giant and the disappearance of the captive audience. (8:27) The Shiny New Thing Syndrome — aka The Squirrel Phenomenon. (11:45) Fishburne finds humor in the friction of adapting. (19:22) The cartoon approach to content marketing. (23:34) Executive hoodies, anyone? Fishburne discusses his admiration for Betabrand (31:54) The future of marketing makes Fishburne think of “Minority Report.” (34:48) Support the show.
Welcome to episode #591 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #591 - Host: Mitch Joel. There's this incredible feeling that you get from Tom Fishburne's comics about the marketing industry. Of course, they're funny. With that, they can be very biting (almost to the point of feeling that he's been using Alexa's technology to listen in on some of your meetings), and that is coupled with this opposing sense of care, empathy and love for the business. Hard and soft... at the same time. For years, he has been taking shots at just how much technology has impacted brands and consumers. With that, he doesn't just do it from his pencil. He's been a marketing professional for a long time (from large CPGs like General Mills and Nestle to Method and beyond). Now, he's more commonly known as the Marketoonist (and if you're in business, you do not want to miss his weekly hit), but he also runs a small agency providing business cartooning for clients. Most recently, Tom published his first book, Your Ad Ignored Here (which is a compilation of his work). It's an amazing anthology and you can, literally, see which technologies were happening at any given moment in time and just how much consumers (probably) have not changed (hint: hit them with ads as much as you like, they're just not that into you).
