Project Brandkenstein: A marketing madman's ecommerce journey to $100,000 in sales begins

What is project brandkenstein?

Brandkenstein is my journey to build a DTC ecommerce fashion brand from 0-$100,000 (sales) + keep you clued up on branding/growth strategy news. 

There’ll be no “armchair” theory here. And no flexing of simplistic BS “formulas” scraped from the top 10 posts on Google.

It's all action—practical strategies and experiments based on what I'm seeing as an ecom startup founder & marketer with over a decade of experience in growth-oriented branding strategy. 

Hence the term: “Brandkenstein”…

You’ll get a glimpse into the good, bad, and ugly fugly rollercoaster ride of a first-time founder who’s redlining his skills.

Who le fudge am I?!

I lead the content marketing team at Hack The Box, where I’ve driven over a 211% increase in page 1 keywords and more than doubled revenue associated with content marketing. 

My marketing journey got off to a rather “rocky” start in 2012—by rocky I mean I had to lie about having a job at one point—while I grappled with self-teaching myself marketing and writing on the internet.

TLDR: since then I’ve since worked on harnessing the power of brand and content marketing for brands like Semrush, Quickbooks, Totara Learning, AppSumo, Conversion XL, and Leadfeeder.
