On Sept 19, I had the pleasure of chatting with The New Yorker cartoonist, author and TED speaker, Liza Donnelly about her craft on my podcast. My belief has always been that cartoons are content worth sharing and that marketers can learn a hell of a lot about creating meaningful content by thinking like a cartoonist - that means thinking in big idea headlines that pack the truth.
