His company represented major corporate brands, Broadway properties, celebrities, and some of the most iconic entertainment brands in the industry.

He founded his own publishing company which quickly climbed to the #2 ranked small press in the USA, selling over 6 million books and grossing over $100 million in sales the first few years. The success of the Kid Concoctions brand and book series is attributed to John’s unique brand-building strategy that combined Licensing, Direct Response (infomercial), Electronic Shopping (QVC - including a single day record of 96,000 books sold in 24 hours), Direct to Retail, and PBS national pledge specials together with award-winning PR and marketing campaigns.

As the face of the Kid Concoctions brand, John Thomas produced and created his own national television series of “Kid Concoctions” pledge specials on PBS grossing over $12.5 million dollars in the first year of release becoming the one of the most successful pledge specials in public television history. In addition to PBS, John has made over 300 national television appearances, including: The CBS Early Show, HGTV (6 years), Discovery Channel (4 years), The Today Show, The Howie Mandel Show, Rosie, The Tony Danza Show, Donny & Marie, CNN, TNN, and The View. John also co-hosted "Great Day America," a one-hour live national daily program on PAX TV, broadcast live from Universal Studios in Hollywood.

In 1989, John launched a theatrical production company, producing a series of touring shows including Side by Side by Sondheim, directed and choreographed by Academy Award-nominated film director Rob Marshall. John then made his Broadway debut in 2005 by producing the Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical Little Women the Musical, starring Sutton Foster and Maureen McGovern. Since that time, John has been involved with over two dozen Broadway productions and Broadway tours as producer, investor, and/or licensing agent.

Apart from John’s business record, he is best known as a toy inventor and the man who created the homemade recipe of slime (Gooey Gunk) in 1997, spawning an international phenomenon that continues to this day.
