Brand Intervention : 33 Steps to Transform the Brand You Have into the Brand You Need

Brand Intervention, 33 Steps to Transform The Brand You Have into the Brand You Need, is the first book written for CEOs, entrepreneurs, brands, and startups that don't have time to read a book on branding.  
You and your brand are a revolution waiting to happen. This book was written to provide the tools to get your brand seen, heard, and ready to change the world written and designed by award-winning brand expert and rebranding specialist David Brier, the recipient of over 325 international awards and ranked #3 worldwide for branding by Klout.

This is why David Brier wrote and designed Brand Intervention.  

It doesn't read like any other book. It's faster.  

Inside, it doesn't look like any other book on branding. It's shows instead of tells. 

It is full-color throughout, with 290 pages of straight talk on marketing and branding for real. You find out what triggers sales, turning buyers into loyal fans.  

Taken from over 30 years of building global brands, regional brands, local brands and startups, this is a no-holds-barred, no-punches-pulled, fat-free compilation of master brander David Brier's gems. 

This may explain why Daymond John, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Broke, FUBU founder and star of ABC's Shark Tank, wrote the Foreword to this new book and why New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule and sales expert Grant Cardone calls Brier "a branding genius" (both Daymond and Grant are Amazon bestsellers in their own right). 

David and his work have been featured in ADWEEK, Forbes, INC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, Communication Arts, How magazine, the New York Times and numerous blogs and podcasts.  
David is also the recipient of the Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship medallion, a rare honor amongst business leaders, presented to those who provide insights to entrepreneurs and startups for leadership, marketing, entrepreneurial innovation, and branding excellence.

I TURN IDEAS INTO BRANDS, EXITS & LEGACIES. 🚀 Slayer of the Mundane 🚀 Author of the #1 Amazon bestseller “BRAND INTERVENTION” responsible for $7B in sales

Ads burn money. A great brand prints it. 

I rebuild brands from the ground up—strategy, story, design, and architecture—so you stop fighting for attention and start commanding it.

I help growth-focused companies sharpen their identity, own their story, and build a brand that scales—without the ad waste.

After building brands for Revlon, Estee Lauder, Jim Henson, and others, I quit.

I have no time for indecision and being a layer or two away from gold.

The first billion-dollar brand I built started out with zero sales, and just a really driven founder.

His vision was about shaping an idea into an empire. It was about watching a dream soar.

It's why I love branding. 

I've done the same for a nonprofit, helping generate over $250K in 30 minutes.
Done the same with a city, I rebranded: a 500% increase in tourism in 12 months.

I have done the same for a dog food company, a cybersecurity company, a motorcycle startup, and a beauty brand, and I turned an expedition camper company into a multi-million dollar company in 24 months (during the pandemic).

Branding is like being an explorer, a detective, and a magician all at once: each day is a new adventure.

When I’m brought in to help build a company, I don’t offer a silver bullet. 

I offer a branding arsenal. Forged in the fires of countless campaigns, refined by failures, and validated by successes.

And the most crucial shift during my career? I used to tell stories. Now, I craft legacies. 

Branding is about the imprint we leave behind in the sands of time and the minds of consumers.

It's why I wrote BRAND INTERVENTION, an Amazon #1 bestseller.

That's why I wrote the follow-up, RICH BRAND POOR BRAND, How to Unleash Your David in a World of Goliaths.

It's why the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center has me as one of their speakers.

David Brier

The biggest threat from AI isn't sameness.

It's customers who feel nothing.

Everyone's drunk on the AI Kool-Aid.
AI-centric.
AI-driven.
AI-fueled.

The result? A one-note chorus.

Every brand sounds the same.
Messages flatline.
Human connection? Gone.

In the rush to adopt, 
brands are forgetting the 
fundamental definition of branding:

The art of differentiation.

This is creating a wasteland of emotionally flat marketing.
Messages that have no pulse.
No human connection.

Here's what nobody expected.

Instead of fighting AI, I tackled it differently.

I recently built a brand to combat this exact problem.
It's called ReadingMinds.

The innovation wasn't more AI.
It was adding a layer of emotional intelligence to AI.

Making insights three-dimensional, not two.

The name says it all.
ReadingMinds.
The slogan: "Why guess when you can know?" 

(Yup, a brilliant name for this new company. Instantly distinct for growth leaders and intriguing. One of the superpowers I use when you and I work together.)

Because the antidote to emotionally numb marketing isn't better tech.
It's understanding why people actually buy, cry, and share.

Not sure if your brand is connecting emotionally?

I get that. Many are too close to their brand to nail this.

It's why I offer 20-minute UNcovery calls.
LIVE with me, and you.

Tone-deaf brands become invisible. Fast.
20 minutes with me is better than visiting an exotic spa, without the awkward moments.
https://lnkd.in/gVE56ZfW

P.S. The brands surviving this AI wave?
They're not trying to out-AI the AI.
They're out-humanizing it.

$9bn+ in sales. Make your brand a magnet, not a money pit. I build brands that customers crave. If you're done wasting ad dollars, let's talk.

Most companies chase productivity.

The best protect the humans who create it.

The $9B Truth Nobody Talks About:

Your brand isn't built by algorithms.

It's built by humans who give a damn.

FACT: Disengaged teams build disengaged brands.

We spend millions on tech.
And pennies on understanding people.

That's why I'm sharing 7 milestone books that shift how we elevate our most valuable asset.

The Human-First Library Every Brand Builder Needs:

1. “Good to Great” by Jim Collins
Level 5 Leadership isn't about charisma.
It's about building something that lasts beyond you.

1. “The Culture Code” by Daniel Coyle
How the best teams build trust at scale.
Spoiler: It's not about perks.

1. “Rich Brand Poor Brand” by David Brier
Why some brands become legends while others become landfill.
The blueprint I've used to align teams and bring their brands to life. 

1. “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek
People don't buy what you do.
They buy why you do it.
Still revolutionary 15 years later.

1. “Be Yourself at Work” by Claude Silver
The Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia shows why authenticity beats strategy. Every time.

1. “Firms of Endearment” by Raj Sisodia
Companies loved by employees outperform the S&P 500 by 14x.
The data that proves people > profit.

1. “Delivering Happiness” by Tony Hsieh
How Zappos built a billion-dollar brand on one principle:
Make employees happy first.

What These Authors Know That Most Don’t:

Strong brands aren't built on tactics.
They're built on belief.

Not in products.
In people.

The brands winning tomorrow?
They're reading these books today.

While their competition chases the next AI tool.

The Bottom Line:

You can automate everything.
Except giving a damn.

That's still a human superpower.
And always will be.

P.S. These aren't just books.
They're $100M case studies disguised as reading material.
The ROI on a book that changes how you see people?
Infinite.

AI is having the conversations humans used to.

Leaving customers untouched, unseen, unmoved.

What's killing brand loyalty? Two machines talking to an empty room.

Brands are outsourcing their interactions to AI.
Consumers are outsourcing their decisions to AI.

Machine talks to machine.
And the human connection flatlines.

The result is a wasteland of sameness.
Disingenuous, cookie-cutter interactions lacking reality.

The companies that win aren't the ones optimizing for this.
They're the ones who will be the most human.

The problem is that "ingenuity" isn’t found on a spreadsheet crunching numbers.

It will be found by studying what customers say and do.
And spotting what they don't say or do.

The most human brands will win in the long term.

→ A city that implemented my strategy saw a 500% increase in tourism.
→ A client who implemented this added $913K to his bottom line (without any increase in his marketing spend)
→ A B2C client who used my strategy saw a 4X sales increase in 3 months

That's how I'm building brands today.

The fastest way to build an unforgettable brand?

Own a problem — not a prompt.

Everyone's asking how to create a unique voice AI can't replicate.
They're focused on prompts, tone, and personality.

Wrong focus.

The absolute fastest way is to own a problem.
One single problem in the marketplace.

We don't remember people for their skills.
We remember them for the problems they solve.

Period.

When someone asks what you do, don't list services.
State the problem you own.

"You know how brands sound exactly the same? I make them unmistakable."

That's a brand.
That's a soundbite.
That's unforgettable.

When one person is known for one problem, they're irreplaceable.

The problem I solve?

I'm the guy CEOs call when they've 
burned so much cash on marketing, 
their spouses think they have a coke habit.

I'm like the Betty Ford Clinic of branding, 
but with better ROI and no group hugs.

This is how you build a moat between you and the competition.
A moat no competitor can cross.

Because while they're trying to copy your voice,
you're solving problems they haven't even identified yet.

And you better be worth the swim to deliver the solution customers want.

P.S. What problem do you own?
Drop yours below — let's see who owns what.

Need help dialing in on the problem you can own and dominate with? Your breakthrough is one DM away (and is not addictive).

The Artlist Report shook me. 

AI sameness is only half the story. 

87% use AI. 
38% can’t keep up. 
27% have become invisible.

The real casualty? Talented creators.
They're drowning in an ocean of indifference.

And it's not because they lack skill.

The Brutal Math That's Killing Ingenuity:

AI turned everyone into a content factory.
10x the output.
100x the noise.

The 2026 Artlist Trend Report nailed it:
"When the barrier to creating polished work is zero,
the barrier to being memorable is higher than ever."

Translation: Polish became worthless overnight.

The Great Wall of Beige:

The best creators I know are exhausted.
Not from creating.
From competing with machines that never sleep.

And here's what's actually dark:

"The problem we'll soon be facing is user slop, not AI slop.
The tool can execute flawlessly, but it can't fix a bad idea."

We're drowning in perfect executions of terrible concepts.

What The Survivors Know:

The creators still thriving?
We stopped playing the volume game.

Not posting more.
Mattering more.

AI: The Great Magnifier

Weak ideas get weaker faster.
Strong voices get "ripped" instantly.

The Opportunity:

When everyone sounds the same,
being different is your superpower.

This is why I am offering 
a complimentary Brand Audit.

AI is not the problem. 

David Brier says it's something much deeper.

AI generated posts.
AI generated comments.
AI is absolutely everywhere.

And it's affecting the way we think.

I just had branding legend David Brier on the program and we dove deep into this problem. He said people are outsourcing their ingenuity, their uniqueness, and their ability to think on their feet. Prompts are replacing original thought, and many creators don't even notice it happening. 

This is a huge problem. 
 
We also talked about LinkedIn. 

David believes the biggest issue is not the algorithm. It is the wave of AI generated posts and comments that all sound the same. When everything blends together, curiosity dies. Creativity weakens. Indifference grows.
 
David also explained why emotion still drives every sale. If people don't feel something, the message never connects with anyone and the real danger in branding is when people feel nothing. 
 
What's your thoughts on AI generated content?

Everyone’s “strategy” for attention?

A carbon copy of the noise customers love to ignore.

The first instinct is to look inward.
Wrong.

They ask:
"How do we convince the world we're different?"
"How do we convey our unique qualities so we're interesting?"

Wrong questions.

The first place to look is OUT THERE.
Take an inventory of THE NOISE.

What is the volume?
What is the variety?
What are the overlapping commonalities everyone is doing variations on?

Only by taking inventory first can you find that unique place.
Unless your goal is to be invisible.

Own that unique lane.
By first looking OUT THERE.

To own the lane that ideally becomes your unique category.

In an ideal world, you’ll be a category of one.

Inside the mind of a CEO who built a $4.6B tech giant. 

Sharing the real opportunity with AI.

Join Stu Sjouwerman, SACP and me next Thursday. 
Registration details below.

See you there.

Most companies treat AI as a toolkit.
Stu Sjouwerman, SACP treats it as an operating model.
David Brier treats it as a narrative engine.

Stu’s new book, Agent-Powered Growth, comes from an unusual vantage point:
founder and executive chairman of KnowBe4, the world’s largest security awareness platform, creator of ReadingMinds.ai, and a three-decade operator who has built and scaled billion-dollar companies through multiple technological upheavals.

His central argument: once agents understand context, autonomously test messages, and reshape narrative structure, growth stops behaving like a manual function. It becomes a governed system.

That view meets its creative counterpart in David Brier, one of the most influential brand architects of the last three decades. His work has anchored category leaders across SaaS, healthcare, CPG, and enterprise technology, and his thinking consistently anticipates how markets actually interpret meaning. Few people understand how identity, differentiation, and emotion operate in high-velocity environments the way he does.

Together, they represent both sides of the 2026 GTM equation:
the computational and the creative.

At the Agentic Singularity Summit, they will lead Agent-Powered Growth, expanding the central ideas of Agent-Led Growth into the strategic decisions facing CMOs, CROs, CEOs, and founders:

• How agent swarms run narrative and emotional research at a resolution no team can match
• How brand architecture evolves when LLMs shape first impressions before human touch
• How differentiation concentrates when creative direction and agentic optimization intertwine
• How pipeline creation becomes a computational workflow rather than a sequential funnel
• How leaders maintain narrative and strategic control when execution cycles operate continuously

Every attendee will receive a complimentary copy of Agent-Led Growth.

This session is a practical model for how growth, brand, and GTM design shift when agents become the primary interface between companies and the market.

Dec 11, 1 pm PT.
Agent-Powered Growth with Stu Sjouwerman and David Brier.
Attend free / virtual: https://lnkd.in/d_6Ppw4g

A conversation at the intersection of creative mastery and agentic system architecture, exactly where 2026 GTM will be defined.

Stop Confusing Arrogance with Leadership.

One builds teams.
The other burns them.

Real leaders don’t need to dominate the room.

They don’t prove power by making others feel small.
They prove it by creating space for others to rise.

Arrogance screams.
Leadership listens.

Arrogance blames.
Leadership owns.

Arrogance divides.
Leadership unites.

If your people walk on eggshells around you, that’s not authority.

That’s fear. 

And fear kills performance faster than failure ever will.

The best leaders?

They don’t lower the bar for kindness.
They raise it for accountability, respect, and trust.

Because when your team feels safe, they stop playing defense.

They start innovating. They start building. They start winning.

You can lead with pride, or you can lead with purpose.

Only one leaves a legacy worth remembering.

Choose Leadership that Multiplies People, NOT Power.

No alternative text description for this image

Rest with Intent. Return Faster. Hit Harder. Leave Louder.

You call it hustle.
I call it desperation.

You brag about chaos.
I see a lack of control.

You’re not tired because you work hard.
You’re tired because you work blind.

Rest isn’t for the weak.
It’s for the killers who plan their next move.

You want to be unstoppable?
Then stop confusing motion with progress.

The Great Wall wasn’t built in panic.

It was built with precision.
By patience.
By those who knew when to strike.

Stillness isn’t silence.
It’s pressure building.

Rest isn’t escape.
It’s reload.

While others chase noise,
You sharpen your aim.

While they grind for attention,
You prepare for dominance.

You don’t rest to recover.
You rest to conquer.

And when you rise again.
No one stands. PERIOD.

Your AI agents might be making decisions you can’t even see.
Scary? It should be. Because most teams are already there.

AI adoption is no longer the hard part.
AI control is.

gate22.aci.dev

As companies deploy multiple AI agents, most lose visibility into what those systems actually do — which tools they call, what data they touch, or how decisions are made.

That’s the real trust gap in AI.

This is where Gate22 by ACI.dev - AipoLabs comes in.

It’s an open-source MCP gateway and control plane that gives teams full visibility, auditability, and governance across all AI systems.

Here’s how it helps:

→Manage every MCP server through one secure, auditable endpoint
→ Set function-level permissions and least-privilege access
→Track every tool change with complete audit trails
→Integrate seamlessly with IDEs, ChatGPT, Claude, and more

For Platform and DevEx teams, it delivers accountability and control.

For Data and Analytics teams, it enables governed access to BI systems with minimal setup.

AI innovation only scales when you can trust what your agents are doing.

That’s exactly what Gate22 enables.

Every silent yes taught them where your line sits.
Every over-explained apology shrank your authority.
Every “it’s fine” was permission to take more.

Withdraw access without drama.
Hold the line without debate.

People will test you. Good. Let them fail.

What if AI could redefine influencer marketing?

That’s exactly what’s happening at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.

I discovered Aha at the TechCrunch stage and decided to try it right after the live demo. 

Within minutes, I saw why it’s making headlines.

Aha is the trusted AI agent for influencer marketing, previously known as Head AI, and it’s taking on a bold challenge.

AI with one junior marketer competing against five human experts.

One campaign. One goal. One million dollars on the line.

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a trust experiment proven through 300 global brand collaborations.

Aha runs the entire influencer marketing process from start to finish.

From insights and creator discovery to outreach, contracts, publishing, and performance tracking.

All automatically. All day. Every day.

Influencer marketing is slow and unpredictable.
Aha makes it fast, transparent, and measurable.

In just four months, Aha reached No. 1 on Product Hunt, onboarded over 300 enterprise clients, and recorded 96 percent growth in September.

Trusted by MetaGPT X and other top AI companies

Seeing it live at TechCrunch made one thing clear. 

The future of marketing is not about replacing people. It’s about freeing them — to think, to create, and to lead.

AI runs the work.
Humans drive the vision.

Who do you trust to win?
AI or humans?

Two billboards. Two philosophies. One standout moment in positioning.

Lovable Lovable builds lovable.
Rocket Rocket builds launchable.
Clear differences. Clear value.

The market is moving.
Not toward louder claims.
Toward sharper articulation.

The old comparison playbook is fading.
The new one is simple.

We are right for you.

This is what makes Rocket’s move work so well.
It stays respectful.
It stays focused.
It stays true to what the product actually solves.

It does not diminish Lovable.
It simply signals a different priority and a different stage of the journey.

That is clarity in action.
Purposeful.
Customer aligned.
Easy to grasp at a glance.

Rocket shows how clean positioning builds real distinction.

Daytona  is redefining the foundation of AI. Their vision for a new compute layer and their ability to unite builders at scale show where the industry is heading next. 

Proud to see this kind of leadership shaping the future.

The infrastructure layer is being rebuilt for AI, agents, and a new kind of cloud.

So we’re hosting our inaugural Daytona COMPUTE Conference on the Warriors’ home court, bringing 1,500 builders together.
