About Brad Casper and Heart & Soul Marketing:

Brad Casper is the CEO and co-Founder of Heart & Soul Marketing, the fiercely independent boutique agency for challenger brands that uses strategy, art, science, and your unique voices to create purpose-driven business solutions, while being a positive force for change.

With a lifetime of experience on the other side of the table, Brad knows what matters to brands and marketers most, which led him to create Heart & Soul. Beyond that, he also recognizes many of the modern pain points that both agencies and brands face, and that all actionable solutions must have a heartbeat & conscious to truly make a difference. He’s now stepping out from established leadership roles in previous companies to pursue his entrepreneurial spirit while helping challenger brands compete against legacy brands and market leaders.

He has run large, well-resourced companies, as well as entrepreneurial, smaller ones -- publicly traded, private, and private-equity backed. Previously, he has served in several client side leadership roles, including: CEO of Dogswell, a private-equity backed pet food company located in Los Angeles; Executive Chairman of Dymatize Nutrition, a private-equity backed sports nutrition business in Dallas; President of the

Phoenix Suns; President and Chief Executive Officer of The Dial Corporation in Scottsdale, Arizona; President of Church & Dwight in Princeton, New Jersey; and more than 16 years at Procter & Gamble in a variety of leadership positions domestically and globally.
