Craig Karmazin founded Good Karma Brands in 1997 with the purchase of three radio stations in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Shortly thereafter, he was fortunate that a number of his childhood friends decided to join him – they hosted radio shows, passed out t-shirts, sold advertising and talked sports both on and off the air (some things don’t change). This is where our story begins – Good Karma Brands began as a broadcasting company, where we learned the power of local marketing and strong community relationships. As the company grew through ESPN affiliated radio stations, we quickly became a Best Practices leader within ESPN Audio, and soon found ourselves shifting from a traditional radio company, and into a sports marketing company – finding new and unique solutions and sponsorships to activate for local advertising partners. Good Karma has expanded into new industries, including events and home solutions, and is always fueled by the desire to do things differently, align with premium brands and offer customized solutions for fans, partners and consumers. In 2015, the relationship with ESPN was expanded, as we could now offer local advertisers access to ESPN`s digital assets within our markets. A short three years later, and driven by the success of our partners and local advertisers desire for ESPN`s premium brand-safe environment, that agreement was extended to include additional markets outside of our radio footprint. Good Karma Brands continues in our expansion phase, both in broadcasting with the acquisition of WTMJ in Milwaukee, and through our ESPN digital markets throughout the country. And while we`ve been around for over 20 years, we pride ourselves on behaving much like we did back in 1997, as an entrepreneurial start-up, focused on getting results for local advertisers and having fun with our friends.

We have a simple belief — Unexpected Works. It means that the best idea is the one you never saw coming. The thing that catches you so off guard that you can`t look away. And the only path to genuinely unexpected works is through creativity. Not just what passes for creativity because it answers a brief, looks the part and helps everyone sleep at night. But creativity that is foreign, surprising and interesting enough to cause jaws to drop and sales to soar. It`s having the fresh perspective and raw energy to bring something into the world that no one`s ever seen before. We`re talking about the courage to shake things up and maybe even tear a few things down. And knowing that what most would call the finish line is where the real work starts. We believe in people, product, and profit, in that order. For us, people always come first. They`re the soul of our agency. It takes awesome folks to make awesome work. That`s why we make sure everyone who comes through the door is as great as the people who are already here. It`s also why we constantly strive to build diverse teams where everyone brings something unique to the table. Because you can`t make the unexpected if you only work with the usual suspects. By bringing together diverse thinkers with different backgrounds and perspectives, we validate Bill Bernbach`s notion that an idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it. So, come be part of the magic.
