Philosopher
Adam Fairhead has been building edutainment brands & gamified products for over 20 years.
I make & sell things for myself, and make & sell things for others.
I’ve grown startups and multi-million dollar ventures with edutainment, strategic brand messaging and gamified interface design. I write regularly on edutainment, product design and sustainable creator-led business. Writer, designer, developer, illustrator, animator, marketer. Family man in rural England.
Current Projects
After over 20 years of projects, I could list dozens of links in this section, ranging from digital products to joint ventures and occasional investments. Here are some of the latest ones I’m currently building that I’d love you share with you:
The Productoon
Every Friday, get a short weekly illustrated newsletter. Each issue contains a bite-sized tip to grow your business using proven edutainment techniques, and a fun cartoon to help you remember what you learn.
Marketer From Space
Grow your business by reading comics, watching cartoons, and playing games. An active-learning experience for creators and entrepreneurs, teaching how to win more customers by mastering your messaging, then attracting customers traffic with immersive edutainment marketing.
Otherworldly Studio
A creative studio studio led by Adam that builds edutaining animated video content, interactive website experiences, product gamification, and strategic brand/marketing consulting for digital brands. Through the studio, Adam and his team have supported startups, influencers, multi-million dollar brands, billionaires and the Fortune 500.
Media photos
If you’d like to quote or feature me in your publication, here are some approved resources for you to use.
Photo
I enjoy the mystique and novelty of being a cartoon character on the Internet. This is the photo I usually use in my social media profiles. You’re welcome to use this in your publications when you feel it is appropriate for the tone of the piece. It looks a lot like me in real life, tied hair and all, though my real eyes aren’t quite as large!
