Slayer of the Mundane || I help businesses and founders build multi-million-dollar brands without million-dollar consultants || Author of the #1 Amazon bestseller “BRAND INTERVENTION” responsible for $7B in sales

🧨 Ignore this and your business and its brand are dead in the water:

The most important factor in building your brand is the experience people have with your product or service — the actual differentiator of using it, interacting with it, and the transformation it helps bring about.

Customers buy transformations. Products or services that make things simpler, better, easier, tastier, smaller, bigger. You get the idea.

So why will they choose your brand over one of your competitors?

THAT is the problem every brand faces. 

And must solve if it’s going to stay in business. And grow.



Over the course of my career, I've built brands that have helped clients generate well in excess of $3 billion in sales. 

I am the founder and CEO of DBD International, Ltd., which is a branding consultancy that helps build brands for clients around the world, no matter your size, location, or industry.

👇

My goal is simple: shift how we think and approach brand-building for businesses around world. 

Why? Because the most important factor that builds brands is grossly misunderstood and mostly overlooked. 
👇

This experience and track record has resulted in me writing my bestseller, Brand Intervention, and developing what has been called "the most important course on marketing in the world."

It's even captured the interest of ADWEEK, Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and many other publications, blogs, and podcasts globally.  


Brilliant entrepreneurs like Daymond John and Grant Cardone have recognized the talent I bring to clients and their growth with Daymond calling me "brilliant with branding" and Grant saying I am "a branding genius.”

Most companies think that branding is about marketing, advertising, and messaging. It's not.

DBD International helps you build brands by understanding what makes them great experiences for customers and then making sure those elements are present in every interaction they have with your business. 

We isolate your core differentiator first and foremost before we worry about messaging, design, or any other traditional aspects of branding.

While delivering a workshop to entrepreneurs around the world, Daymond John had sent me a signed copy of his brilliant new book with a personalized hand-written message inside. That wasn’t all.

He further presented me with a stunning (and surprisingly heavy) “Presidential Ambassador Coin (Medallion)” (Daymond was designated by the President a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship.)

So before I ever sent foot back on US soil, after helping entrepreneurs from around the world, I received this “instant karma.” 

It’s like another entrepreneur shared with me, “When you do good, you get ‘done good’ spiritual credits.” Love that philosophy.

Brand Intervention : 33 Steps to Transform the Brand You Have into the Brand You Need

Brand Intervention, 33 Steps to Transform The Brand You Have into the Brand You Need, is the first book written for CEOs, entrepreneurs, brands, and startups that don't have time to read a book on branding.  
You and your brand are a revolution waiting to happen. This book was written to provide the tools to get your brand seen, heard, and ready to change the world written and designed by award-winning brand expert and rebranding specialist David Brier, the recipient of over 325 international awards and ranked #3 worldwide for branding by Klout.

This is why David Brier wrote and designed Brand Intervention.  

It doesn't read like any other book. It's faster.  

Inside, it doesn't look like any other book on branding. It's shows instead of tells. 

It is full-color throughout, with 290 pages of straight talk on marketing and branding for real. You find out what triggers sales, turning buyers into loyal fans.  

Taken from over 30 years of building global brands, regional brands, local brands and startups, this is a no-holds-barred, no-punches-pulled, fat-free compilation of master brander David Brier's gems. 

This may explain why Daymond John, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Broke, FUBU founder and star of ABC's Shark Tank, wrote the Foreword to this new book and why New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule and sales expert Grant Cardone calls Brier "a branding genius" (both Daymond and Grant are Amazon bestsellers in their own right). 

David and his work have been featured in ADWEEK, Forbes, INC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, Communication Arts, How magazine, the New York Times and numerous blogs and podcasts.  
David is also the recipient of the Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship medallion, a rare honor amongst business leaders, presented to those who provide insights to entrepreneurs and startups for leadership, marketing, entrepreneurial innovation, and branding excellence.

Any brand can increase traffic.

The true challenge is attracting the right public.

“Ours is not a volume-based business, it is a quality-based business” states Lisa Cullen of Montecito Landscape.

After all, Montecito is amongst the top ten most expensive zip codes in America with a median home value north of $3 million.

Lisa shares, “We deal with high-end customers and high-end properties. So the trick is, how to attract that customer and not clog our lines with customers who will not buy and/or can’t afford what we do.”

HOW TO ATTRACT THE RIGHT BUYER IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD

After 6 months of diligent work, we have a new message, a brand new video, that is another collaboration between myself and the brilliant motion graphics artist Saar Oz.

This new video really is the follow-up to the What is Branding and the Exceeding Expectations: What Smart Brands Know  videos.

There were so many challenges we encountered to ever successfully complete this (for reasons too numerous to explain).

What’s funny (in retrospect) is the obstacles we ran into were the exact ones this video covers. What matters more is that it got done.

R.O.I. (RETURN ON INGENUITY) —  THE MOST COSTLY MISTAKE IN 3 MINUTES

This special collaboration between myself and an Israeli motion graphics designer has resulted in some amazing videos, the latest one having gone viral with over 93,000 views in 4 weeks. This video pulls back the curtain on the creative sparks that go into creating such an amazing video that resonates with viewers. Here it is.

Update on the Newest Viral Video

Real Estate Mogul & CEO of Cardone Capital | Sales Training Expert | Best-Selling Author | Founder of 10X Movement | Undercover Billionaire | Text me (305) 574-9093

Recently, I was invited to participate in an upcoming Forbes interview on iBlab.

As part of that, I decided to invite sales expert, international speaker and best-selling author Grant Cardone who graciously agreed.

IT WAS MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE #1 SALES EXPERT IN THE WORLD.

This was just around the time I was writing the viral post, Top 23 Most Influential People on the Value of Exceeding Expectations. In that post, I already had quotes from Daymond John, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk of Tesla, Ashton Kutcher, authors Simon Sinek, Seth Godin, Jeff Goins, Jason Fried plus a number of other very intelligent entrepreneurs.

So I asked Grant to participate with a quote of his own. He was all in.

This was exciting. Why?

  • Grant is an internationally renowned business and sales expert
  • Author of 4 sales and business books, including New York Times best seller “If You’re Not First, You’re Last” and Axiom Award Winner “Sell or be Sold”
  • Regularly appears on Fox News, Fox Business, CNBC, and MSNBC, and contributes to Entrepreneur.com and Huffington Post
  • Creator of customized sales training programs for Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, success-minded individuals and entrepreneurs
  • Cardone and his companies have worked with Google, Morgan Stanley, Afflac, AutoTrader, Camping World, Web Filings, NOVA University, Wayne Huizenga School of Business, Kawasaki, Cenegenics, Reinhardt Food Service, Carrier HVAC, and many more.


One-on-one: Being interviewed on POWER PLAYERS with World's #1 Sales Expert: Grant Cardone

“GET CLOSER THAN EVER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. SO CLOSE, IN FACT, THAT YOU TELL THEM WHAT THEY NEED WELL BEFORE THEY REALIZE IT THEMSELVES.”
STEVE JOBS, FOUNDER OF APPLE

What you’re about to read features 23 world-class entrepreneurs.

At least 4 of them are billionaires.

At least 8 of them are NY Times Bestselling authors.

Collectively, they have over 23 million Twitter followers.

And they inspired the brand new video you’ll watch at the end of this post.

EXPECTATIONS

They can suck.

Or they can inspire.

Regardless, they exist. Internally and externally.

A CEO WONDERS WHAT’S POSSIBLE

Recently, after a client meeting, the subject of expectations came up in a heated discussion.

This discussion was with the CEO.

He was questioning his expectations of his employees to embody the brand we were perfecting. He was questioning the ability of his employees to see (on their own) what worked and what didn’t and, lastly, he wanted to know, would they demand more of themselves to be of better service to one another as well as to customers?

So, I started to look into this topic of exceeding expectations.

Top 23 Most Influential People on the Value of Exceeding Expectations

Launching a brand is not for those with thin skin.

It takes courage, intelligence and foresight.

It’s (almost) not about your brand.

Instead, it’s more about what you stand for. Passionately.

It’s equally about what you oppose. Boldly.

CREATING A BRAND REVOLUTION

Factually, it comes down to three basic secrets which all rebels know and will gladly share, if you’re ever perceptive enough to ask the questions.

Here’s what I’ve seen amongst those brands that succeed and mold the future.

1. Stand for something bigger than yourself

Perfect example: Martin Luther King Jr. He never talked about being victimized. Instead he spoke about the rights of men, beyond their color. He spoke about freedom. And about having a dream, not merely holding onto a small flicker of hope.

2. Define your enemy.

Steve Jobs did this brilliantly. The enemy was the glut of “beige boxes” that were built around the technology instead of around the user and their experience.

3. Don’t be about dreams. Be about achievement.

Nike established this standard with its now famous “Just do it” tagline and brand position.

It threw out of the window any excuses and instead gave each of us the reason (and the power) to excel.

3 SECRETS TO LAUNCHING A BRAND REVOLUTION

The challenge for a new anti-aging skin care product:
Develop the name and brand identity for this anti-aging new skin care line that needed to successfully work in the US, Mexico and Korea (and not have a name that meant something offensive or inadvertently sacrilegious).
 
Then develop a luxury package design.
 
Then conceive, design and create a product launch video for 2000+ reps.
 
The first 4.5 seconds of the video below are pitch black before a single image comes on-screen. For an exact reason. Over 2,000 sales reps knew they were going to be introduced to something new. They simply had no idea exactly what. So, the first sequence of this video, presented entirely in a pitch black room, consists only of sounds, rain, ambiance to set them up for what would follow in this video.
 
The result? Insanely wild enthusiasm, sales through the roof and one really happy CEO.


Undew anti-aging skin care product launch

Most startups (over 97% by actual experience) begin with a fundamental flaw.
It’s the first inclination commonly driven by the thrill and enthusiasm of entrepreneurialism and this mistaken thinking: that what the company does matters. This flaw shows up in the naming, the logo, the slogan, etc.

Rebranding an INC 5000 Tech Company

From David Brier, Fast Company expert blogger, brand identity specialist one of Slideshare's rock stars with over 540,000 views worldwide:

Companies will at some point come to that milestone known as “the rebrand.” For some, it happens early on once they’ve discovered who they really are while with others, it occurs after many years of having grown (or outgrown) their brand. - See more at: http://www.risingabovethenoise.com/how-to-rebrand-19-questions-ask-before-you-start/#sthash.gXprYUR3.dpuf

there are a number of questions that routinely come up when I start with a company to rebrand them. Here (in no particular order) are many of the questions that need to be answered to keep the brand: true to itself, meaningful so people take notice and care, and powerful enough to make the difference everyone hopes for. - See more at: http://www.risingabovethenoise.com/how-to-rebrand-19-questions-ask-before-you-start/#sthash.gXprYUR3.dpuf

Joanna Vargas is considered New York City's finest skin care expert to VIPs and celebrities. Her reputation eclipsed her brand identity for her salon and new skincare line. The result was this rebrand which resulted in explosive growth for her brand.

"Cookie cutters are for baking, not branding." Brand identity is what separates one company, service or product from another. Done well, it conveys what appears from the outside to the natural order of things: leadership and other qualities of world-class brands.

Brand Identity

THE TRAITS OF AN EXCEPTIONAL BRAND

In previous posts, I didn't outline the traits of an exceptional brand, something you’re about to read (while seeing precisely how these 4 traits were crystallized in a new rebrand of a successful Midwest premium jerky company that was in need of a facelift).

Why did they need the rebrand? Because the new space of “premium jerkies” has become populated with early adopters filling this new niche.

EYE CANDY, FIRST. MENTAL FLOSS, SECOND.

There are two parts to this post: the first is the rebrand itself showing what was done.

This is followed by an interview with the founder of the company to get her view of the reason they initiated the rebrand and the process they went through.

To orient you and to appreciate exactly what was done, here’s a snapshot of the transformation.

The Dopamine Dealer of LinkedIn : Helping business professionals attract their ideal audience, engage them, and convert them into customer without selling so you become a standout authority | CEO | Keynote Speaker

Hey there, I'm Joshua B. Lee, but you might know me as the "The Dopamine Dealer of LinkedIn".  Over the past two decades, I've built a whopping 16 businesses, penned a book (ever heard of 'Balance is Bullsh*t'? That's me!), and nurtured a beautiful blended family with the amazing Rachel B. Lee and my two kiddos, Jayden and Skylar. 

In the early 2000s, I was like a wizard weaving spells in online marketing, helping giants like MySpace and Google reach the stars. With almost a billion dollars in ad spends, we made 35 trillion online impressions. That's like every person on Earth seeing our ads over 4,000 times! 🌍✨

But then, I noticed something. The digital landscape had become like a roaring monster truck rally, with so much noise and automation it was hard to hear yourself think. It felt like we'd lost the human touch, like we were just shouting into a void. It was all text, noise, and - let's be real - a lot of hot air.

So, I asked myself, "How can I bring back the heart in this digital universe? How can I help people see through the screen and build genuine connections?" 💻💖

The answer was Standout Authority, my baby since 2014. Here, we're all about helping folks like you bring the human back to your brand. We've zeroed in on LinkedIn - the Avengers' HQ of business platforms - to build authentic relationships and clients.

Our mission at Standout Authority? We're like the friendly neighborhood Spiderman of the digital world, weaving a web of genuine connections. We're here to help you stand out, inspire others, and change the world, all without selling your soul. 🌎💫

I've been lucky enough to work with men and women who's books I read to start my first companies like Joe Polish, Dan Sullivan, and Barbra Annis, and powerhouse companies like Oracle, Gartner, and ADT.
