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

Most ads burn money. My brands print it.

I'm David Brier. the guy CEOs call when they've burned so much cash on marketing, their spouses think they have a coke habit. I'm like rehab for your brand, except instead of getting you clean, I get you profitable. 

Think of me as the Betty Ford Clinic of branding, but with better ROI and no group hugs.

After 300+ brand transformations, I've learned this: While your competitors fight for attention, the smart money commands it. That's the difference between brands that beg and brands that bank.

You know you need me when:
• Everyone in your category looks identical (including you)
• Bigger competitors with deeper pockets keep winning
• That "digital transformation" everyone promised isn't transforming anything
• Your message bounces off customers like bullets off Superman
• You're one pivot away from irrelevance

Here's what I do differently:

I don't refresh brands. I resurrect them. Strategy, story, design, architecture—rebuilt from the ground up. No committees. No 6-month discovery phases. No death by PowerPoint.

Just breakthrough thinking that turns trapped businesses into category killers.

The proof?
• Zero-to-billion: Built a brand from first sale to billion-dollar exit
• Nonprofit magic: Generated $250K in 30 minutes
• Tourism transformation: 500% increase in 12 months for a city rebrand
• Pandemic profit: Expedition company to multi-millions in 24 months

From dog food to cybersecurity, beauty brands to Harley bikes—I've proven that radical differentiation works in any category.

Why I walked away from Revlon and Estée Lauder:

Big agencies love long meetings and longer timelines. I love CEOs who make decisions and make millions. That's why I wrote two Amazon bestsellers—Brand Intervention (Daymond John called it "Genius") and Rich Brand Poor Brand.

The bottom line:

I used to tell stories. Now I craft legacies. Because in a world of copycats, the only strategy is to be the original everyone else copies.

Your competition has you cornered? Perfect. Corner escapes are my specialty.

Because being forgettable is the only unforgivable sin in business.

Brands don't fail in the market.

They fail internally first.

Your brand lives out there.
But it comes to life in here.

→ With your people.
→ With dreams.
→ And a pulse.

That's why I wrote Rich Brand Poor Brand.

A rich brand isn't about size or industry.
It's about culture.
It's about belief that doesn't need a boardroom to survive.

Daymond John called the book "Genius."
Goodreads reviews keep rolling in.
And the messages from founders building their Davids in a world of Goliaths—those hit different.

To everyone who grabbed a copy in 2025 and carried it into 2026:

Thank you.

To Scott MacGregor and Claude Silver — two humans who understand that brands are built from the inside out (yes, that's them on the wall):

Thank you.

To the ones still on the fence:

Your brand doesn't need more tactics.
It needs more truth.

That's what this book is about.

P.S. Lisa at our local post office has shipped more copies than she can count.
She's part of this story, too. (See her in the comments)

$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.

CEOs remove thinkers first.

Then complain their brand has no voice.

I sat down with Jeff Abracen on his Disruptive Influence podcast and we unpacked something most leaders are getting backwards.

AI replaces tasks. 
It doesn't replace people.

But too many CEOs are treating it like the opposite.

→ Cutting the humans who think
→ Keeping the tools that can't
→ Wondering why everything sounds the same

The real threat isn't automation.
It's abandoning differentiation in the name of efficiency.

Tool: Your people think. AI executes.
Crutch: AI thinks. Your people disappear.

One builds a brand with a pulse.
The other builds a commodity.

The companies winning right now?

→ Not the ones with the best tech stack
→ The ones who kept their point of view intact

AI can scale your output.
It can't scale your conviction.

AI can generate content.
It can't generate a reason for customers to care.

The uncomfortable truth:

The same efficiency that speeds you up can erase what made you different.

Unless you protect the one thing AI can't replicate:
People with something worth saying.

🎙️ Full episode drops soon.

P.S. AI is a tool.

Your people are the strategy.

Don't confuse the two.

Lukewarm avoids risk.

And guarantees obscurity.

Most brands aim for "acceptable."
The result? They land on forgettable.

The market doesn't reward room temperature.

It rewards freezing cold conviction.
Or burning hot passion.

Lukewarm gets spit out.

The lukewarm playbook:

→ Offend no one
→ Challenge nothing
→ Say what's expected
→ Blend in beautifully

The result?

Safe. Shallow. Invisible.

And when the noise finally freezes 
(when budgets tighten and attention shrinks) 
only the distinct are left standing.

The brands playing it cool (the wrong kind of cool) disappear first.

What survives:

→ A point of view that polarizes
→ A voice that can't be mistaken for anyone else
→ A position worth defending

Not "we're the best."
Not "we're different."

But: "This is what we believe. Take it or leave it."

That's the temperature that wins.

Quick diagnostic:

→ Could a competitor say exactly what you're saying?
→ Does your messaging make anyone uncomfortable?
→ Would your brand survive if the noise stopped tomorrow?

If you hesitated on any of those, you're not cold.
You're not hot.

You're lukewarm.

And lukewarm is the fastest path to irrelevance.

The brands that last don't play for approval.
They play for allegiance.

P.S. When the noise freezes, the only thing left is differentiation.

That's not a tagline.
That's a survival strategy.

From surviving to THRIVING. Achieving more with less. Boot-strap to multi-million-dollar valuations. Over the last decade, I have helped transform companies from red ocean status quo existence to blue ocean uncontested market communities. 


The first business transformation program I built resulted in my solopreneur client going from $35K to $1M annually in 18 months.

I created a proprietary trademarked solution that eliminates the three most common PCIs (Pre-Crisis Indicators), fixes broken and malfunctioning business processes, and transforms functional business areas. 

And the client achievements, using this solution, have been [according to my clients] phenomenal. 

🥇 Reporting reduced from 4 days to 4 hours, saving $1.4M
🥇 Incomplete for 3 years, 80 processes converged in 13 months
🥇 100+ Risk management software defects resolved in just 10 months
🥇 Increased a company’s annual revenue by 3000% in 18 months [$30K to $1M]
🥇 75K Salesforce records migrated and reconciled in 60 days, $72M opportunity

Every day I post for people to know I am reliably here to entertain, educate, and engage. I post about topics concerning Empowerment, Fortune, Genius, and Happiness. 

Hopefully, over time, you will have enough information to decide if you will trust an investment in my products and services.

My expertise is in balancing possible with probability by:

💪 Tackling broken business processes that no one else wants to fix. Why?
🔹Because my clients are not afraid to TRY and fail. They are more fearful of NOT trying.

💪 Cleaning up [supposedly] unsalvageable methods and system malfunctions. Why?
🔹Because my clients KNOW it can BE done. My clients believe and trust me. There are two options: FIX or TRANSFORM

💪 Transforming status quo business units into human-based, AI supported, revenue generating communities. Why? 
🔹Because unique clients are not afraid to disrupt the status quo and end up in an uncontested market space. 

If there’s anything else you believe you want or need to know, please ask, comment, DM
