Grit Daily is a top source of news coverage on startups and brands in tech, innovation, business, entrepreneurship, and social media. Based around the world, our global team brings with it decades of combined reporting experience. It includes media all-stars and veterans from ABC, CBS, CNN, Fast Company, Forbes, Inc., San Francisco Chronicle, VentureBeat, Vice, and Vox.
Grit Daily knows brands — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Brands send a signal to consumers to identify what to buy, where, and when. That signal can offer a glimpse of innovation brought on by new tech or a novel spin on how brands market themselves. It can also abuse consumers through manipulation, blurring, and controversy.
Grit Daily covers everything brands — what they’re doing, why, and when. We invite you to check out our audience demographics and stats below to get a glimpse of who’s reading all of that coverage on your brand.
