Jonathan Fisher

Community Advocate, Leader, Wine Aficionado

Jonathan began his career as a designer and brand strategist before becoming a co-founding partner and the Chairman of BrandExtract. Jonathan's passion for branding has given him over 30 years of insight which he's applied to both startups and Fortune 100 giants across the country. Beyond shaping brand strategy, Jonathan believes in the power of doing good and serves on numerous non-profit and community service-based boards. A candid and insightful leader, Jonathan is always ready to help the team in and outside of work.

A native Houstonian, Jonathan is a 1986 graduate of Texas Tech University with a BFA in Design Communications and minor in Packaging Design. Prior to founding BrandExtract with Bo Bothe in 2005, he started Fisher Creative in 1994, where he established a place in Houston as a thought leader focused on building integrated brand communications. Jonathan’s work stretches across numerous industries and over a hundred companies from energy to manufacturing to professional services and many more giving him an extremely broad perspective for solving all types of brand challenges. As the BrandExtract co-founding partner and chairman has shaped the firm’s brand methodology, which focuses not on a brand’s unique selling proposition, but rather on its unique relevant promise and how that is experienced/supported.

A lifelong believer in the compounding effect of doing good, Jonathan devotes his time outside of work to organizations that help one-to-many, not just one-to-one. Some of his board services include Emeritus status with Literacy Advance of Houston, The Branch School, National Business Development Association, Houston Community ToolBank and Houston Philanthropic Society of which is a founding member of the latter two. He currently serves on an advisory board for ToolBank USA and San Jacinto College of Art & Design Communications.

What does Jonathan like most about the company he co-founded? "The talent of our team and the diversity of our clients. We work with the best of the best."

In his spare time, you can find him fishing, axe throwing, traveling and appreciating art and wine. He has also taught branding to graduate students at Texas State University and speaks regularly at other institutions.

Fun fact? His birth name isn't Jonathan, it's "Tex."
