StoryBox Studios was founded by two game industry veterans intent
upon creating better board games, strong in theme and family play
value.
Tom Phillips -Thing One
t1@storyboxstudios.com
Tom has over 20 years experience
creating and marketing innovative
family products. Once described as
Nike's guru of kids marketing, Tom
led the company's children's division
for over 10 years. After Nike, Tom
went on to broaden his consumer
experience with both large companies like Disney Consumer
Products and small start up ventures like Front Porch Classics. Tom
and Steve formed the idea of StoryBox Studios while working
together at Front Porch Classics. Many of the companies best
games were the result of unique creative partnerships formed with
independent game designers, entertainment studios, and other
game publishers.
"Most new game concepts suffer because companies think about
them from a very narrow point of view. StoryBox was launched as an
independent production studio to help create bigger ideas."
