  • Before it became LinkedIn vanity projects…
  • Before Davos reduced it to jargon and acronyms…
  • thought leadership was something worth the name.
  • It coined phrases.
  • It moved markets.
  • It told us which way
    the world was spinning
  • and sometimes leaned on the globe
    hard enough to change its tilt.
    and sometimes leaned on the globe hard enough to change its tilt.
  • That’s what we built Cardinal40 to do:
    • back in
    • To put the
    • thought
    • and the
    • leadership
  • We don't do PR.
  • We don't do marketing copy.
  • We're not "strategic advisors" or "comms strategists."
    (Honestly—does anyone know what those titles even mean?)
  • Cardinal40
    is something different. Something new.

  • Most thought leadership firms
    offer one or the other:
    narrative without fresh data, or
    new analysis without storytelling.

    The combination has been missing.

    The result is messaging that leans
    on recycled stats and old projections that don't answer the questions leaders are actually asking.
  • A team of writers, economists, data visualizers, and AI researchers
    Who've worked for some of the
    most notable leaders and
    institutions on the planet.
