Evan McGowan-Watson

Hi I'm Evan McGowan-Watson, Co-Founder and CMO at BrandYourself.com.

BrandYourself.com is the first do-it-yourself platform that makes it simple for anyone to take control of their own search results.

BrandYourself emerged In 2008 when one of my co-founders, Pete Kistler, had an online identity crisis. Thanks to a job rejection letter in college, he learned that his top Google result was about an ex-convict named "Pete Kistler". Everyone who Googled him thought he was a felon.

Pete Kistler, Patrick Ambron and I joined together along with an awesome technical team to create a product that would not only solve Petes problem, but also make it simple for anyone to control their own search results and be accurately represented online.

We've raised a little over 1.5 million in venture capitol, and we couldnt be more humbled by our rapid growth and amazing users (already over 200,000 on our newest product launched in March 2012.) Feel free to check it out and let us know what you think.

On a personal level, if you enjoy entrepreneurship, online marketing, kiteboarding, snowboarding, metal smithing, traveling, boxing or anything else interesting, just use this site to connect!
