GOOD MONSTERS is an independent research and brand strategy studio. We operate as a distributed strategy firm, design studio, and publisher. Our business is to create knowledge products, but what we seek, and hope to gain, is wisdom. While much of our client work is confidential, we do publish open-source media like documents, podcasts, reports, and a newsletter so that everyone can benefit from our analysis—mostly on the evolving nature of culture, creativity, and technology. Specifically how new media technologies reshape the socio-economics of designing, producing, distributing, and marketing cultural products.

RESEARCH

STRATEGY

DESIGN

We provide research, consulting, and creative advisory services to brand leaders at the intersection of culture, entertainment, and technology. Not to reproduce an institution, but to bridge the gaps between business and brand strategy. Our organization is dedicated to equipping individuals, companies, brands, governments, institutions, and investors with the knowledge to better understand our new world, communicate their brand, and create enduring IP in the digital economy. Much of "strategy" today is about how-to-do X, but what-to-do is increasingly becoming the central challenge of management. Similarly, trend forecaster can identify things that are going on, but not why it's happening. It is our mission and belief that a true understanding of the world leads to better strategic outcomes. GM’s research and advisory services informs a wide range of applications across brand, product, innovation, editorial, marketing, and communications—often serving a hybrid role between a strategic thought partner and creative council.
