About Brian Tomlinson
Brian is a marketing and leadership strategist who's spent 20+ years figuring out how organizations actually change — through better communication, better systems, and better leadership.
He's done this at Hapag-Lloyd, Engel & Völkers, and Staffbase, leading international teams and building everything from digital products to content operations.
These days he works independently, advising B2B marketing leaders on building content systems that earn trust and drive business results.
He's also quietly obsessed with how AI changes the game for small teams willing to think differently.
