About Jon Schindehette

For me, building a brand isn’t a job title — it’s a craft. Brands are living, breathing ecosystems, and I’ve spent my career learning every tool needed to help them thrive. Sometimes that means marketing. Sometimes it’s design. Other times, it’s strategy, data, or storytelling. Most often, it’s all of the above, woven together.That’s why my career path looks more like a tapestry than a straight line: VP, Business Analyst, Creative Director, Art Director, Copywriter, Photographer, Graphic Designer, Web Designer, 3D Modeler, SQL Coder (yes, even that). Each role sharpened a different skill set, but together they gave me something more powerful — the ability to see the bigger picture of how brands connect, grow, and inspire.I’ve had the privilege of shaping worlds for brands both legendary and global: Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Pokémon, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Fallout, DOOM, The Elder Scrolls, Starfield, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Harley-Davidson, Disney Theme Parks, Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, Warner Brothers, GameStop, ThinkGeek, Shell Oil, Waterhouse Financial, and more. Across industries — from games and licensed merchandise to casinos, publishing, and non-profits — the lesson has always been the same:Strong brands aren’t built in silos. They’re built at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and data.What I do best is pulling those threads together into a synergistic vision — one that respects the audience, tells a meaningful story, and delivers measurable impact.At the end of the day, I’m not just here to market. I’m here to build brands people believe in.
