View company profile

What began in 2011 as a boutique creative agency with a simple yet powerful belief in the power of storytelling has blossomed into Freethink, a dynamic media company dedicated to showcasing a better future. Founded by Chandler Tuttle, Dan Hayes, and Kmele Foster, the journey started with a small team and a conviction that the most important stories of our time—those of innovation, progress, and human ingenuity—were not being told. They embarked on a mission to change the narrative, moving away from the negativity and toxic politics that often dominate the media landscape. Their focus was clear: to shine a light on the smartest people, the biggest ideas, and the most groundbreaking technologies that are actively shaping our world for the better. This foundational commitment to quality filmmaking and compelling narratives quickly resonated, allowing them to collaborate with remarkable organizations and bring impactful stories to life.

Over the years, Freethink has evolved from its agency roots into a full-fledged media publisher, reaching millions across the globe. Their content, which spans documentary films, articles, and various series, explores the frontiers of science and society. From pioneers developing exoskeleton suits and gene therapy to innovators building the first factories in space, Freethink consistently introduces its audience to the change-makers solving humanity's biggest challenges. The company's core teams in New York City, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles are now supported by a global network of talented journalists, filmmakers, and creators. This expansion includes the acquisition and integration of Big Think, a platform dedicated to exploring the world's biggest ideas with the world's biggest thinkers. Through it all, Freethink has remained steadfast in its original purpose: to inspire people to build a better world by telling the stories of those who are already doing it, proving that believing in the next solution is not blind optimism, but a recognition of our innate capacity to solve problems.
