Are you actually ready for exponential growth?
Welcome to Brandom® – a strategic growth agency.
Exponential growth is serious business.
You must be sure about your brand, products, market, organization, and…you!
Exponential growth means something increases by a consistent rate over time—not by adding just the same amount each time, slow linear growth over time…
but by multiplying, compounding growth that yields 2x, 5, 10x over the simpler time period.
We are born from the award-winning creative minds behind UCD™ and BrandU® that supported 30,000+ founders and led to ground-breaking mass media projects. We offer a unique blend of tangible, full-service expertise, wrapped in personalized business guidance that will leave you on the right path to reach your goals. We blend a business growth agency, a brandom agency, and a growth marketing agency into one powerful partner.
Imagine a world where your brand isn't just a name but a recognized leader in your industry, and using that recognition to fuel sustainable, exponential growth. We specialize in thought leadership marketing.
We're not just a service—we're partners in your business growth. We're right beside you through the rollercoaster, providing personalized guidance, persistent AI-driven preparation, and marketing.
Certainty starts here.
Brandom® was co-founded by Kim Castle and W. Vito Montone and is led by him, our systems-minded storyteller with a fierce heart and a founder’s edge. He moves between data and dreams like a tightrope walker: precise, bold, never boring. He doesn't just build things—he creates processes that bring clarity where others get cloudy. He champions with soul and structure, asking better questions than most people know exist.
If his life were a pitch deck, every slide would say: “Certainty isn’t a feeling — it’s a framework.”
He has created a one-stop growth tool driven by each client brand’s private LLM from path to prep to execution.
Avoid fluff, dodge clichés, and turn “strategy” into action with integrity—allow his creation to be your north star.
By helping me tap what was "inside", I can now go "outside" with a clear, concise and powerful message about what my company is all about. You saved me years of time and thousands of dollars spent "figuring it out." Instead, I now have a comprehensive brand that unites all my dreams and ideas into a congruent offering. Thanks you so very much for the heart and soul you put into your work.
DAVID KOONS, TRUEPOINT TRAINING
Thanks to your innovative process and expert guidance, I finally have a powerful brand in the marketplace. I've been in business for over 10 years and have never experienced any company that has the creative energy, strategic thinking and branding expertise that can truly capture the heart and spirit of what I do. My business brand finally speaks for itself and it is already creating an incredible buzz in the marketplace.
DEBBIE LYNN GRACE, SENSITIVE LIVING MAGAZINE
Wow! Thank you for your brand development process! I must confess, I was very skeptical at first based on the promise and low cost. You truly exceeded my expectations. You’re both unlike any other. It feels like I’m at a retreat to recharge myself and my brand. Now knowing what changed in me and my business, I would have gladly paid anything you charge.
Will Patton, Motion Marketing
We went through all of the programs of IBI, CEO Space, and a solid year of business coaching. We got more clarity of our business future working with you and we're only partially through Plan. That's only four lessons!
Steve Kirshenbaum & CeliaBarranon, SAT Preparation Group
As a result of going through your branding process, I now have powerful communication tools for a confident launch of my brand-new business. Without any doubt, you have saved me months of precious time that otherwise I would have frittered away on frustrating trial and error exercises. I wholeheartedly recommend any entrepreneur to take this masterfully crafted ultimate branding system affordable to anyone.
HANS NORDEN, FOUNDER, ANTICIPATED OUTCOME
Thank you so much for the amazing journey. You have developed a branding process that produced extraordinary results for me and my company. I truly have the clarity and the foundation I skeptically had hoped for. Your team and your process are masterful. Miracle’s occurred in this process. Thanks so much!
CHERYL SHEEHAN, DIVINE INDULGENCE
You breathed new life into our look that spilled into our entire operation’s attitude and perception of who we are, as well as all our relationships.
JOHN LEE, CEO, ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS GROUP
Your brand development process not only gave us a grand understanding of how to reach the target, we discovered how to communicate what our film was truly about. We cannot imagine shooting without completing the process first. We felt as though we were supported by an army of experts.
ERIC KLEIN, PRODUCER, AMERICAN REUNION
My investment in your branding process has doubled my sales, my customers are able to connect, feel comfortable and order my products with ease and trust. Working with Kim & Vito and their team was a homerun for my business!
ARI GALPER, UNLOCK THE GAME™
You have a fantastic step-by-step brand development process. You fluidly guided me to gain clarity about the identity of my company. It was like creating a person with its own unique personality. Clarity = power. I already feel a new electricity within my company. Thank you for empowering me Kim and Vito, so I can in turn empower many others!”
ARJANG ZENDEHDEL, DREAMALITY EDUCATION & COACHING
When I first decided to go through brand development, I was under the misconceived idea that a brand was all about designs, colors, and shapes. After completing their comprehensive program, I now understand that a brand goes far beyond this physical dimension. Working with Kim and Vito has given my business a soul foundation that makes its vision sparkle.
DOMINIQUE BOSSAVY, DOMINIQUE BOSSAVY.COM
I took my government contracting company through your science-based process (Unified Conscious Development), and I received a structure to instantly articulate its powerful essence to anyone. I am a raving fan. My pitches can now move anyone off their agenda (trying to play hardball) into immediate unity with me. I can't thank you enough!
LORRAINE COSTELLO
Wow, I just got home after working with Kim and Vito all day in a BrandDive. The day was one of the most productive days ever…I went from scattered ideas to concrete structure and a step-by-step roadmap! Working with Kim helped me to overcome inner obstacles and Vito’s ingenuity in shaping structure is unsurpassable. Thank you, Kim and Vito, from me and the ten million babies I’ll protect.
ANYA SWANSON, ANCESTRAL FOOD COACH
I was reeling from over 11 years of faithfully investing every dime I had chasing information products, bootcamps, and coaching programs that promised to “be the answer” to my goal of a successful business. After just a few months of working with Kim & Vito and their team I began to experience a level of clarity that I never had in over a decade of entrepreneurship. I now know that I will never invest in anyone’s “shiny object’ programs again because I have built something substantial from the ground up.
LAWERENCE COLE, MD/GM HEAD OF AMERICAS GROWTH SALES AMAZON ADS
My BrandDive with Kim and Vito changed everything about how I view my business. We had planned to chart a course for the new year. We did do that but we also retooled my coaching business. Kim’s insight is intuitive, creative, and joyfulness blended Vito’s ability to draw the future is brilliant. Together they bring wholeness and unwavering support. Thank you, both.
JUDITH K HAMMAN, PERSONAL & FINANCIAL COACH
After going through your processes, I no longer compare myself to anyone else. Thanks to the clarity I have gained in my business after working with you, I’ve been able to surpass one million dollars.
ALI BROWN, THE TRUST
After going through your brand development process and completing our new materials and postcard campaign, we doubled our income more than any other year in our business existence. We were able to buy and move to our dream home way ahead of schedule!
JOHN & ANN SCARBOUROUGH, TEAM SCARBOROUGH
What makes working with Vito and his team so valuable is his ability to truly understand what needs to be done to reach my goals. With decades of experience in working with agencies of different sizes and specialties, I knew I wanted results and not fluff. A partner instead of a vendor.
JOE LONG, SURGE AUTOMATED
I am stunned by the clarity and completeness of the Brandom process, we get to see the beauty of our own vision. I have a much deeper understanding of the core nature of my business and how to communicate it to the world. I have a roadmap that I can use immediately to improve my business. You gave so freely of yourselves to help me with my process, that I feel like I have a little bit of Kim and Vito inside me now. Thank you.
JAN WHITTED, CREATIVE ADVENTURES
I had an idea for an app to address the problem of drunk driving. I was working with Verve on another business so I shared this idea with them. They heard my idea and helped me make it into a viable business model. What makes working with Vito and his team at Brandom™ is their honesty, integrity, and commitment to staying in the trenches to achieve the goals. I am convinced that there is nothing the team at Brandom™ can’t make happen. VIto and his team never gives up.
VISHAL PATEL, ONUS ENTERPRISES, LLC
We brought the Brandom team on to help us develop a direct-to-consumer TV commercial campaign and the associated direct-to-consumer e-commerce website. They provided that and so much more...and did it all exceptionally well. Their ability to use strategy to define and meet our marketing objectives, manage the budget & schedule, and deliver creativity to execute exceptionally, exceeded our goals. They made the project a huge success with our shareholders and associates.

Creating Certainty
Founders find solace in the warmth of assurance amid the swirling currents of uncertainty. The pursuit of certainty isn't just a desire; it's a lifeline. When the ground beneath us seems to shift from moment to moment, the need for a steady anchor becomes paramount. In this fast-paced symphony of innovation, being certain isn't just an advantage—it's the very rhythm that propels you forward into the unknown, transforming ambiguity into opportunity. In the tapestry of risk and reward, you understand that certainty isn't about eliminating the unknown; it's about having the confidence and process to face it head-on. When every decision feels like a high-stakes gamble, certainty emerges as the secret weapon, transforming ambiguity into clarity and hesitation into decisive action. This is why we offer three linked founder-tested programs to create Certainty. From building a foundation within you and from your business idea, we create a path to sustainability. We provide cost-effective, done-for-you services including persistent marketing with our full-scale agency team. Reliable growth ROI is within your grasp.

We're not just a creative agency; we're your partners in crafting a visual and experiential masterpiece that tells your brand’s unique story of change to the world and in turn, consistently grows your business.
Persistent Marketing
We understand that marketing today can often seem like a crapshoot. A bottomless money pit that leaves you with nothing but emotional baggage. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Marketing is critical to business success. Once you’ve launched your product or service, marketing is easily 85% of your efforts to be sustainable and successful. At Brandom®, we've redefined marketing and positioning with our groundbreaking 3-phase on-point approach that sets you apart as the unrivaled solution. Our method is not just unique; it's a game-changer. In phase one, we start with establishing your voice and ideas organically to generate immediate trust and desire. We don't just want you to be noticed; we want you to be the go-to solution for knowledge that your audience craves. In phase two, we foster a closer relationship between you and your potential customers to the point that they crave being in your universe. In the third phase, we implement our strategy to generate specific short-term goals. Our approach is more than marketing; it's creating an emotional journey that forges connections, instills trust, and propels you to the forefront of your field. Your gift to the world deserves nothing less. Driving all of these phases and in fact, your entire marketing strategy and business growth is what we refer to as thought-leadership marketing. It’s not becoming a thought leader for ego, it’s mining your unique solution for change and turning it into a platform that catapults you and your business growth for sustainable good.

What Kind of Problem Are You?
Are You the Reason Your Business Isn't Growing Reliably?
Working with founders almost exclusively for 30+ years, sadly, you are most likely the problem. Just like I am in our business.
You didn’t start your business to micromanage every decision, chase every task, or burn out trying to do it all. Yet, here you are — overwhelmed, stretched thin, and wondering why growth feels harder than it should.
What if the biggest roadblock to your business’s success… is you?
Before you cringe, hear this: it’s more common than you think. So many brilliant, capable founders unintentionally limit their own growth — not because they lack skill or drive, but because their clarity, mindset, habits, and leadership style haven’t evolved with their vision.
And that’s where the Business Growth Founder Quiz comes in with its 10 questions to help you identify where you're thriving as a leader — and where you might be unintentionally holding your business back.
Take the Business Growth Founder Quiz now and find out what kind of founder you are — and what kind of leader your business really needs next.
