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

Thanks for visiting my profile! 😊

Do you love the Catholic Church and want to see a resurgence of holiness? 

My mission: Helping Catholic small business owners reach their audience and grow in holiness too. 

I suffered incredible losses in 2014 and 2017 with the untimely deaths of my unborn children. This led to a great depression and spiritual struggle. 

God saved me through the sacramental life and his saints. 

St. Catherine of Siena and Teresa of Avila are the patron saints of The Simple Catholic blog. They are my greatest allies (aside from Jesus, Mary, and Joseph) in the fight against despair. 

I began my writing as a means of spiritual searching and therapy. It has transformed into a way to share hope with others. 

I can't bury my God given gift. Not when so many people face daily assaults from the Enemy. 

You can't bury your gifts either. You were given them for a reason— to help others and to love God better. 
 
Gratitude is the greatest gift you can give yourself. It is the doorway to enter a joy-filled life.

We all are united by Sacrament of the Eucharist (which literally translates as 'thanksgiving'). 

You are as only good as the people around you. 

Let us build each other up. Guide each other toward Goodness. Remind ourselves of Beauty. Teach about Truth. 

Let's work with the Holy Spirit in planting seeds of the Gospel in the hearts of all we meet. 

Email me at chicoine.matt@live.com or DM here on LinkedIn if you have questions about the faith or want a free writing consult. 

Follow me on Instagram @thesimplecatholic for more fun and inspiring Catholic content! 

"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." —Catherine of Siena

"Let nothing disturb you,
let nothing frighten you,
all things will pass away.
God never changes;
patience obtains all things,
whoever has God lacks nothing.
God alone suffices. Amen." —Teresa of Avila
