Meet the Founders

Brain Surgery was founded over 20 years ago by John Carr and Stephen Blaising. Both were leaders in the advertising industry and true pioneers in applying the findings of modern neuroscience to marketing.

Brain Surgery was founded to uncover what truly drives and guides choices, decisions, and behaviors and how to leverage those learnings into all of the various marketing workstreams. Brain Surgery provides its deserving clients with insights that always uncover new possibilities and emerging opportunities. Steve and John understood that neuroscience could drive tremendous success for companies and they were driven to create the best insight engine available that would uncover more of the truth. And this drive still fuels Brain Surgery today.

And while we lost one of the founders unexpectedly last year, John’s passionate voice is still heard daily by the team and our clients, as we all are reminded “that words matter” and “that we shouldn’t improve it into a failure”!

We’re carrying John’s endless excitement about the future into the future.
