Great Ideas
Die in the Dark
Shedding new light on marketing, the common good, and other things I care about
Bryan Karas
quotes

Hi, I’m Bryan.

We know “the only constant is change,” but we may be hesitant to embrace it—and yet we desperately need the right kind of change to move forward and make the world a better place. 

Marketing is the science of creating change. Where does it start? With an amazing idea. 

The greatest ideas need the most effective marketing.

Our mission is to shed light on bold ideas. Life-changing ideas. And to spell out the tactics needed so that those ideas break through the noise. 

It could be something personal, like how to improve relationships with friends and family. Or something monumental, like how to solve the world’s climate crisis. 

Whether large or small, great ideas deserve to stand out in the crowd. I hope you’ll join me in the quest to help them do just that.

“In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.” —
