GARRET VAN DER BOOM
Garret is our D Drape. He heads up external creative, where he comes up with ideas that might work, and makes fun of our ideas that certainly won’t. It was he who developed the vision statement, “The Story, Reborn.” It was also his idea to shoot a film of Jim LaMaquina, our mascot, talking about the publishing industry. On a personal note, he’s really into the Planet Money podcast with Adam Davidson, and has admitted to tearing up with admiration while reading Malcolm Gladwell.
