Bryan Thomlison’s corporate and brand marketing experience was earned at posts with Procter & Gamble, Lever Brothers, Carnation and Church & Dwight Co. (Arm & Hammer® products).

Mr. Thomlison’s business successes include his pioneering of the books-on-tape industry in the early 1980’s. In 1985, his books on-tape company was bought by a subsidiary of Harper Collins where it became the first electronic publishing division of a major publisher.

Since 1990, Bryan Thomlison has designed and implemented innovative business and product development initiatives for a number of corporations and NGOs including Henkel, Asea Brown Boveri, Collins & Aikman Floor Coverings, Sunbeam, Arm & Hammer, the World Bank and The White House Science Office.

Thomlison's multi-stakeholder environmental marketing techniques have been shown to deliver a 10:1 return on investment without spending funds on advertising. His marketing and brand-building expertise has since been referenced in over a dozen management and marketing books, including Reputation, published by the Harvard Business School Press.

One of Bryan's multi-stakeholder ventures has grown to dominate online communications within the gardening community. GardenCentral.org, provides free websites with free webmaster service to hundreds of garden clubs across America, including the official websites for 29 state garden club organizations.
