About Brandon

For as long as I can remember, I've always been fascinated with building things. Lego, soapbox cars, weedwacker-powered scooters, and DIY camera gear are a few things in my portfolio, but it wasn't until I built my first blog, that I really found my groove. Without the intent of making money, I began looking into ways to build websites more efficiently and eventually started helping others. I really just wanted to watch out for other entrepreneurs who shouldn’t have been spending massive amounts of their hard-earned marketing dollars on an overpriced website. I believe Seth Godin said it best regarding recognizing the importance of a straightforward website: “For most people, that’s all you need. A website that’s good enough. Not that breaks new ground, establishes a new identity, discovers new ways for people to interact online. Just a good enough website that didn’t kill you to launch.” I build websites that make the most sense for your business. The one that helps a prospect gain trust and get information. For most, this is about good content, easy navigation, and simplicity.

5 Tips for Effective LinkedIn Advertising

Feb 27, 2013/in Advertising, Marketing, Research, Social Media/by Brandon

1. Bid at the high end of the suggested bid range. 2. Continuously review and adjust your daily budget. Make sure your daily budget supports your click goals. ie) $10 per day at $2 per click = 5 clicks. $10 a day at $4 per click = 2 clicks. Note: Wednesday is the highest traffic […]

Pavel Datsyuk’s “Thoughts” on Stealth-Mode Business Strategy

Feb 22, 2013/in Research, Strategy, Uncategorized/by Brandon

Clients often ask the question of whether or not certain product features should be shared with the general public for fear of people copying them or defending against their tactics. My usual response includes a quote from Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup: “A head start is rarely large enough to matter, and time […]

4 Ways to Get Facebook Shares (Part 2 of 2)

As an add-on to my last post entitled “Time to Reconsider What You’re Sharing on Facebook” , here are the four reasons people share Facebook content: 1. To Make Their Life Easier Here are two great examples of people posting with the intent of making some aspect of their life easier. Taron needs music for a soundtrack […]

Time to Reconsider What You’re Sharing on Facebook (Part 1 of 2)

Feb 19, 2013/in Marketing, Research, Social Media, Strategy, Uncategorized/by Brandon

Sssshhhh! It’s time to acknowledge that the days of simply asking questions, sharing quips, and doing giveaways on your business’s Facebook page are over. If you’ve continued to rely on these tactics, I’m sure you’ve noticed plateaus or stagnant engagement. If you haven’t and things are still rolling smoothly, think of just how much more effective […]

The Cold Hard Truth About Men, Women & Money

Jan 28, 2013/in Books/by Brandon

My latest read is the ever-controversial Kevin O’Leary’s The Cold Hard Truth About Men, Women, and Money. It’s taken me a solid six months to get over my disdain for the man and the way he treats presenters on Dragon’s Den but this book has increased his standing in my eyes. While other books on […]

If I Were a Contractor, Homebuilder or Tradesworker

Jan 24, 2013/in Advertising, Customer Service, Marketing/by Brandon

If I was someone working in the construction industry, this is how I would be marketing: 1. I would be filming all of my projects (with the homeowner’s permission of course) and showing people the process and work that goes into building things right. I would share these videos on youtube and on my website. […]

The Trouble With Social Media

Jan 20, 2013/in Research, Social Media/by Brandon

We all enjoy seeing people like our Instagram pictures, like our Facebook pictures and posts, and favourite our tweets. The problem with these tokens of affirmation is that often, whether we’ve acknowledged it or not, we base our self esteem on these “vanity metrics”.  Once we’ve achieved that “100 like picture” or hit 10 favourites […]

The NHL and Branding

Jan 10, 2013/in Marketing, Research, Strategy, Uncategorized/by Brandon

As you probably know, the NHL and the NHLPA have finally ironed out a new collective bargaining agreement and the current hockey season will be salvaged starting next week. The excitement of some fans has been dampened by bitterness that an agreement wasn’t reached earlier. I’m sure some fans share the dissonance this is creating […]

Thinking Differently This Year

Jan 2, 2013/in Advertising, Innovation, Marketing, Research, Strategy/by Brandon

Throughout my teenage years, I loved to ride BMX. “BMX” encompasses more than the more commonly known racing aspect and includes street riding, dirt jumping, park-riding, and basically any type of 20″ bicycle expression. During those years, I was constantly torn between the more rigid team sport of hockey and the absolute freedom of making […]

5 New Year’s Marketing Resolutions

Dec 31, 2012/in Marketing, Research/by Brandon

It’s that time again. People are making lists of things they want to change, things they want to do less, and things they want to do more of in order to improve their lives in the upcoming year. The changeover to a new year can be cathartic and feel like a new beginning. As we […]

Where do I even begin?! Throughout my many years in business, this incredible team has been there through countless projects, challenges, and opportunities for growth. From social media marketing and website development to troubleshooting tech challenges that weren't even remotely in their job descriptions 😂, they've always been willing to show up, go above and beyond, and lend a helping hand. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely care about the businesses and people they support. They continue to invest in our local community, share their knowledge, and remain on speed dial whenever I find myself facing a new challenge! I recently attended a lunch-and-learn session they held at Path Cowork and it was such a great reminder of how valuable it is to step away from the day-to-day demands of running a business, get out of the office, and become a student again. There's always something new to learn and another opportunity to grow. So grateful for the relationships, expertise, generosity, and genuine commitment to helping local businesses succeed. Keep doing what you do! Our business community is better because of you.

The Stratlab team has been fantastic. In the last 2 years Stratlab has helped us to overhaul our website. I am not a tech person, but in working with Carter, Dustin, or Brandon, bit-by-bit we've been able to revolutionize our Events Guide from what it previously was. With pretty much every idea I've had, some I didn't even know if they were technically possible, these wizards have found a way to make them happen. They are also usually super quick to make requested changes or fix any weirdness that may arise. We've had one of the best-looking and most user-friendy tourism Events Guides in the country that even our residents are getting excited about using! You can tell these guys are passionate about their work and care about getting their customers exactly what they need & want. I'm sad that I'll no longer be working with this crew due to transitioning to another department at work, but I highly recommend the Strat Lab team for any web design project 👍👍

I recently had the privilege of working with Brandon at StratLab, and the quality of his work is truly next‑level. After one quick call to share my vision for a bat demo video, he understood exactly what I needed, and delivered something far beyond what I imagined. His attention to detail, creative precision, and top‑tier expertise show what real professionalism looks like. Every frame, every transition, every moment was crafted with intention. He respected timelines, communicated clearly, and made the entire process effortless. I can only hope to work with Brandon again.

The StratLab team are top shelf humans! (and pretty decent marketers ;) that understand how to set your organization up for online (and in person) success, as well as help position you as a reputable and trusted source within your market. Always great dealing with Jeph & Brandon! "If you are awesome online, you better be awesome offline." ~Jeph Maystruck
