Since then, Tier has done marketing campaigns for Coca Cola, Aegon insurances, the Dutch government, Filofax and Hästens, among others. He was also behind the so-called "flippo" discs that came with Smith's potato chips in the 1990s. He still makes the occasional comic strip for corporate and commercial purposes.
