The Story >>
In 1997, I conceived of Marco Polo Explorers. The great explorer had always inspired me, he’s my namesake and Marco Polo came from where my father was born, Dalmatia.
My name is Marco Marsan. Creating a Strategic Innovation Consultancy isn’t like most ideas, yes it was a concept, a thought, but this one would have to be different. I was a single dad and my son Shane and I would depend on this idea to make the house payments, to eat. I had always been adept at creating ideas but this time I had my doubts and apprehension.
This is the story of the humble beginnings of Marco Polo USA, my company that in its 12 year history has helped create over $5 billion worth of new products and services from brassieres to pizza, candy to crayons, feminine protection to fire protection. You’ll find that we’re different, we work at a higher level - thinking about strategy and design as well as product and service innovation.
You have my personal guarantee that you and your team will be delighted with the results of your Marco Polo engagement.
