Book for a Conference, Workshop
or Podcast.

Every great business leader and marketer has blindspots,
those hidden gaps in strategy, messaging, and execution.

Brady Dahmer, author of Blindspots: The Marketing Handbook, helps brands uncover what they’re missing. With decades of experience in brand strategy and storytelling, Brady brings fresh insights, real-world "blindspots", and actionable takeaways.

Whether speaking at conferences, workshops, or podcasts, his goal is to provide valuable and actionable insights that audiences can implement that day.

The biggest marketing mistakes aren’t the ones you see... they’re the ones you don’t.

So lets help your audience uncover the gaps, rethink their approach, and build brands that truly connect.

Inspiration behind
the Handbook

I wrote this book after witnessing countless promising startups and small businesses fall victim to the same invisible marketing traps... patterns so consistent yet routinely overlooked that they demanded documentation

Problem Solver: This book addresses the critical gap between marketing theory and practical execution, where most strategies actually fail.

Target Audience: Specifically crafted for entrepreneurs, startup founders, and small business owners who must maximize every minute of their day and every marketing dollar while operating with minimal teams.

Make-or-Break Guidance: Unlike traditional marketing books written for companies with safety nets, this book focuses on the high-stakes reality faced by entrepreneurs where initial marketing decisions can determine survival of a company.

I've got questions for you...

I love for my conversations to be interactive, even workshop some things. Here are some questions I would love to ask you:

What’s one assumption you made that completely backfired?
Have you ever experienced a blindspot in your marketing or business?
What’s your favorite way to identify blindspots before they derail a project or team?
Do you have a project horror story?
Is there something you would like to workshop during the interview?
