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.
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.

Authenticity is our north star, 4 decades and counting. Our proud heritage of authentic storytelling stretches back decades. You can’t fast track that kind of earned wisdom. It enriches every project and makes us mindful of the legacy we’re building.
“If they have to ask, we’ve failed them.”
Eric Barnes, Managing Partner / COO
