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

Hi! I am Neil, founder of eBrandBuilders (eBB) with a mission to help young but successful companies into beloved brands.

After completing a BComm and an Ivey MBA in eLeadership, I progressed through the corporate ranks – worked on the Live Richly brand for Citibank, launched the ICICI Brand in Canada, managed a $100M insurance portfolio for Canadian Tire Financial Services, and extended the Desjardins banking brand nationally.

In 2012, I resigned to forge my own path in eCommerce. And quickly failed. Twice. It was then I reached back into my roots, and rigorously applied my corporate branding experience to analyze the top 200 DTC brands. 

From this, I distilled the 7C’s of branding, a process that helped me launch 3 DTC businesses in the health beauty space and had a bonafide exit.  

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR BRANDING PROCESS:
🔷 "It gives you the tools you will need to dig deep and create an authentic brand that will stand out and stand the test of time”
🔷 "A tour de force on building ecommerce business(es) in the 2020s"
🔷 "In a space that can sometimes feel saturated where you see the same material from one person to another this was rare and brilliant"
🔷 "As an eCommerce consultant, I gained a much better understanding of how to convey the value of more intentional branding to clients!!!"

The exit further formed the cornerstone of my next venture, eBrandBuilders - where my mission is to deconstruct world class brands to help build your brand step-by-step. 

eBrandBuilders is for you if you are a:

◾ Product hustler. Day to day, you’re absorbed in chasing the magic-bullet solutions toted by gurus online
◾ New business owner. And want to build a solid foundation from the start
◾ Brick-and-mortar brand leader. You’d like to emulate the success of newer entrants into your space
◾ Go-getter. You crave the education, direction, and support to build a highly successful DTC business
