Tom Fishburne, the founder of Marketoon Studios, is not only a cartoonist but also a seasoned marketing professional with an MBA in marketing from Harvard Business School. Before turning his sharp wit toward cartoons, Fishburne did his share in the corporate world, working as a brand manager for Nestlé.
His background in marketing gives his humour an edge, as his cartoons offer an insider’s take on the trends shaping business today. Recently, Fishburne has been exploring the growing role of generative AI in the workplace. While he acknowledges AI’s potential to boost creativity, he also cautions against falling into what he calls the “creativity trap” – the risk of becoming too dependent on AI and losing the human spark of innovation and critical thinking.
Fishburne’s playful yet insightful illustrations encourage a meaningful dialogue on the delicate balance between embracing AI’s capabilities and maintaining the unique value of human creativity, especially in the ever-evolving world of marketing.
