As client partners, we become a key resource in brand positioning, ambassadorship and education so that the right resources reach the right people in plenty of time for action. It’s a movement.

Brand Excitement launched in 2010 in the New York City to a waiting list of clients and since become known for taking client programs and products From Invisible To In Demand. We became so good at it that we developed the FIT-ID Score, an assessment that measures the gaps and growth opportunities for your brand. Our core clientele includes entrepreneurs, educators and edtech startups. Why? Their impact is immediate and lasting. We focus on three core components of brand growth to reach unrivaled results for our clients: attraction, engagement and retention.
