About Could Be Pretty Cool®

We took the leap. Now we help others do the same. Georgia's only B Corp certified public benefit media and research company.

We started in 2020 with more curiosity than certainty. The creative economy is full of people betting on ideas that matter, and they deserve better tools, better research, and better stories behind them. We didn't know exactly what this would look like. We just knew it could be pretty cool…
