Evan McGowan-Watson

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

Evan Mcgowan-Watson is a co-founder and CMO at brandyourself.com, 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 accuratly represented online.

Since then, I've developed over dozen partnerships for BrandYourself and headed up the marketing initiatives, leading to the acquisition of over 20,000 users. We have also raised over 1.5 million in venture capital and received a good stack of awards, its certainly been quite the ride : )

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!
