Inside the story

Three everyday problems. A little strategic thinking. Plenty of weirdness.

The world is full of problems that can be fixed with a little bit of marketing magic.

Join Dan as he shows how three simple parts of marketing can help friends sell cookies, run for class president, and lobby for their favorite playground slide. It’s a journey full of creativity, fairy dust, and ideas kids can recognize in their own world.
