“We didn’t know it could be like this.”

We’ve heard that from clients over the phone, email and around the campfire. Upholding that standard is a matter of pride for our people.

We are adventurous storytellers. So naturally, our creative
work is what attracts attention but it’s our reputation and
heart for service that makes us our clients’ trusted ally.

Idea Ranch started with getting people around a table who understand our greatest asset is the life we’re already living. The places we run anytime we have free time.

 

You see it in our words and images. They ring true and cement relationships because we live them.

 

We’ve built a refreshing culture where talented people serve with shocking humility. Our heartland roots also prove an inimitable advantage. Audiences trust our messages because they instinctively recognize the voice as their own. Ideas come faster and stronger because we’re promoting brands that already earned a spot in our lives. Telling their story is a privilege that finds us thanking God for this wild, beautiful ride.

The magic of Idea Ranch is sustained by seven core values. They beat in our chest and resonate in our bones.

We value integrity, directness, courage and steadfast leadership.

We believe the Golden Rule to be an immutable truth. That positivity and negativity are contagious, so each of us are responsible for the energy we bring.

We value a robust life outside these walls — it leads to richer perspective and authentic storytelling.

We value the deliberate practice of grace, kindness and patience.

We believe talent and smarts are never an excuse for bad behavior. That people’s giftings are magnified by humility.

We welcome challenges because they stoke the fires of greatness and foster foxhole camaraderie.

We value bold, infectious creativity honed by an iron-sharpens-iron passion to forever evolve and improve our craft.

The name on the BACK of the
jersey is just as important as
the logo on the FRONT.

Love of storytelling brings us together. But our conviction that no title puts you above any task or below absolute respect is what forges our foxhole camaraderie.

“If they have to ask, we’ve failed them.”

Eric Barnes, Managing Partner / COO

We’re in the service business. It’s our job to anticipate client needs and proactively address questions before they’re asked.

Our growing roster reflects our people and pursuits. Join us. In an industry that attracts ego, our path is rare. It serves as a beacon to like-minded clients and talent. If that’s you, we look forward to talking.
