Most importantly, we are the missing link between you and the people at the heart of your business.
Christine Astorino.
As founder and CEO of fathom, Christine Astorino finds herself asking the same question over and over: How can we connect people emotionally to an environment, a product, a brand, an experience?
In fact, it was that kind of persistent, open questioning that led Christine to create fathom in 2003. With a background in architecture and design, she saw an opportunity to help clients think profoundly and creatively about their business problems.
