I deconstruct world-class brands to help build your brand. ✈️ Chief Brander @ eBrandBuilders | 📘 Amazon Best Seller | 🎙️  Host @ eBrandCast

Here’s why 90% of consumer brands fail in their first two years.

You're grinding non-stop, but your marketing feels like hitting a brick wall. You launch products, optimize funnels, run ads... and then some competitor undercuts your price by 10%. Game over.

This happens when you sell products without building a brand. Period.

Here's the question: Do you know your brand's core identity? Or do you hope people will buy your stuff because it's "better"?

I'm Neil, and I've cracked the code for building consumer brands that last.

After my MBA, I spent a decade managing $100M+ brands for Citibank, BMO, and Desjardins. I was the guy in the Brooks Brothers suit with the Herman Miller chair, climbing that corporate ladder in easy mode.

But I had an itch to build something from scratch.

So I resigned and jumped headfirst into eCommerce. And promptly failed. Twice.

I went from "Real Kobe Beef" to "Ramen" in 12 months. I was that entrepreneur batting at every shiny object - new Facebook ad techniques, conversion-optimized Shopify themes.

My daily mantra? Three simple letters: "W...T...F?"

But I'm no quitter. I dusted off my stretchy-waist tracksuit and went back to basics. From this failure, I distilled the 7Cs of branding, a process that helped me launch 3 DTC brands to a bona fide exit.

My biggest breakthrough came from studying 200+ DTC brands and asking: "What makes customers choose one brand over another when the products are virtually identical?"

The answer? Psychology. Not features. Not benefits. Pure psychological positioning.

In recent years, I've:
* Analyzed 200+ DTC brands
* Created 70+ brand breakdowns
* Developed the 7C Framework
* Published the Amazon bestseller "Checkout"
* Worked with Amazon, Starbucks, and Porsche

Here's what happens when you have a brand that sells itself:
* Your entire brand strategy fits on a single page, guiding all decisions
* Your marketing feels effortless because it speaks to your audience's core desires
* You wake up knowing exactly what to do to grow your brand

When you hit 30 years of experience some call you old, others call you seasoned.  And since I have mad cooking skills, I’m going with seasoned, salt in the bread and a little pepper in the fire.  I have spent my career working in around and with retailers.  Here’s what I have learned along the way;

The Growth Mindset is everything you need to be successful personally and professionally.  Grateful, Giving, Passionate, Inspiring, Connected, Accountable, Opportunistic. Everything you need you learned in third grade, be sure to thank a teacher.

Influential Leadership is the best system of leadership.  There are three imperatives to leaders; Performance, Engagement, Influence. If you engage people but fail to perform, your leadership fails.  If you influence others and lose engagement and performance, your leadership fails.  Influential Leadership is about what you do, what I do, and what we do together.  It’s this culture that allows risk taking, personal and professional growth and committed employees and partners.

When you take number one and number two together, you can build an amazing retail business focused on serving the needs and wants of customers with profitable, sustainable growth.  A magnet business that draws customers and people to your brand.

I have built my career around a stable mindset, a power leadership system and a laser focus on customers.  Customer Generated Offers, Customer Portfolio Management, Customer Analytics that drive Actionable Insights.  Join me along the journey to build profitable, sustainable retail businesses focus on serving customers.
