Big Idea
Offices: Franklin, Tennessee
Most major media companies today name shareholder
value or profitability as their top priority.
At Big Idea, their priorities are: people

is like breathing. As humans, they must
breathe to live, but they do not live to
breathe. As a company, Big Idea must profit
to exist, but they will not exist merely
to profit. Achieving their goal of building
a top four family media brand takes a tremendous
amount of capital, but they will never sacrifice
the needs of kids or of their employees
simply to increase their wealth. |
