These recorded interactive group video calls are designed to focus entirely on what will work for you, and eliminate any limiting rifraf. We focus simply on the module materials, and comprehensive tutorials. WE HAVE NO TIME FOR GAMES!
Inside the program, you will have access to every template, workbook, resource, reading materials, data, and applications necessary to effectively build and launch. Each phase comes complete with step-by-step instructions.
In addition to the immediate coaching, teachings and guidance you will receive from me and my team throughout the program, I offer unprecedented access to me, my team and community once you enroll.
Beyond the hundreds of people AND BRANDS I’ve CONSULTED FOR, I’ve built FOUR multi six-figure businesses FOR myself WITHOUT A TRUST FUND, A HUGE SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING, AND/OR THE HELP OF A PROFESSIONAL TEAM, so I know a thing or two about building BRANDS THAT BOP.
I teach all my clients not only how to do the same, but my super power is getting to the core of how to best authentically highlight YOU so that you are attracting clients that are right for you, and getting them to buy from you ON REPEAT, with confidence, and telling everyone they know about you.
$ Build Trust from the Start
A cohesive brand establishes credibility and professionalism, making it easier for potential clients to trust you right off the bat. Trust is the foundation of building a base of LOYAL customers - IE the type of repeat buyers who repel you into “sales in your sleep” status.
$$ Instant BRAND Recognition
With consistent branding across all platforms—website, social media, business cards, and more—your business becomes instantly recognizable. This recognition creates a lasting impression, helping your brand stand out in a crowded market and keeping you top-of-mind for potential clients.
$$$ Cultivate Buzz
A strong brand not only attracts clients, but keeps them coming back and referring other people. When clients feel connected to your brand, they’re more likely to become lifetime customers which ensures a steady revenue stream.
$$$$ Automation Domination
When your brand is cohesive and resonates with your target audience, it does the heavy lifting for you. Clients will be drawn to your offerings and make purchases with minimal effort on your part, leading to sales even when you’re not actively selling.
$$$$$ More Freedom and Cash Flow
With a well-established brand, you’ll have the freedom to focus on growing your business rather than constantly chasing leads. As your brand continues to work for you, you’ll experience increased cash flow, allowing you to invest back into your business and your lifestyle. NOT TO MENTION the flexibility to work and play when/how you want!
$$$$$$ Take Pride in Your Business
There’s nothing like the confidence that comes from having a brand you’re proud of. When your branding truly reflects who you are and what you stand for, it boosts your self-esteem and empowers you to show up fully in your business, networking, never shutting up about your offers and brand, and ultimately leading to even greater cash flow.
Which is the ONLY branding bootcamp program of its kind…
Brand Lab by GASM is the ultimate 1:1 coaching and toolkit design hybrid program, crafted specifically for busy entrepreneurs like you.

By joining The Brand Lab by GASM, you gain exclusive access to our weekly virtual calls with the Launch Squad, including experts like Hannah Mickelson and Colin Jordan from Brotherly SEO, and Elyse Pickle, specialist in ads, digital product sales funnels, and automations. Their insights can help you scale your offers and take your brand to the next level.
BY THE END
You’ll have everything you need to launch your brand—completely designed, ready to go, and fully equipped for success. And if you’re truly maximizing your efforts, you could execute this launch in less than a week!
No other branding bootcamp program offers an all-in-one brand toolkit, including a website and brand kit, combined with 1:1 coaching at this price point, and with this level of time efficiency. Period.
REAL TALK—you’re starting to wonder if entrepreneurship is always going to feel this draining, and if building a successful business means burning yourself out before you even launch. You know you CAN do it yourself, but you'd LOVE some help from a professional...and just like pretty much all entrepreneurs - you can't afford a high level team to build everything for you.
Then you, BOO, are in the right place!!
FAILURE TO LAUNCH
You’re caught in a loop, dreaming of that high-ticket branding team that’ll swoop in and create magic, but let’s face it—you’re stuck. The DIY approach has run its course, and without a real plan or budget for branding, you’re spinning your wheels. The champagne dreams with a Bud Light budget are keeping you on a treadmill of frustration, leading to repetitive failures to launch. And that’s taking a serious toll on your bottom line.
TIME = EXPIRED
You’re desperate to get your brand off the ground—like, yesterday. You’ve thrown money at every course, app, and tool under the sun—Planoly, Flodesk, CapCut Pro, you name it—but nothing has come together like you envisioned. Every day that passes is another missed opportunity, and the clock is ticking on your success.
BRAND SHAME
Your branding feels like a mess—disjointed, unprofessional, and let’s be real, embarrassing. And if you’re REALLY being honest—your logo and website make you cringe. Every time you look at them, you feel a pang because they don’t represent who you are or the quality of what you offer. It’s like wearing an ill-fitting suit to an important meeting; you know it’s not the impression you want to leave.
BLEEDING CASH
To add insult to injury, on top of wasting time, money and embarrassment, all the while you’re stuck in a rut, and the money is literally slipping through your fingers. That unused Canva Pro subscription? Just another reminder that your design process has been more frustrating than fun. You’ve spent so much on courses, programs, and subscriptions that you can’t even keep track of anymore.
And at the end of the day, all you really want is to get your brand off the ground—seeing other entrepreneurs thrive with a clear, distinctive narrative every single day just makes you more impatient that it’s not your reality yet.
Once you've had a chance to review the particulars, and discover the power of Gill, you make a decision to grow and elevate your brand.
You'll complete a short alignment survey, and receive an email from our team shortly with approval to get started on a path towards measurable success.
Immediately booking your chat with Gill will ultimately get you closer to educated and informed decisions on your objectives and goals.

Without cohesive branding, all the effort you put in is just wasted time—and time is the most precious commodity you’ve got. That hesitation and self-doubt? They’re translating directly into missed sales and opportunities. It’s time to stop hiding behind a brand that doesn’t do you justice and step into one you can show off with pride.
When you’re not confident in your brand—whether it’s your website, business cards, or social profiles—it shows. And when you’re not confident, you’re not selling. And when you’re not selling, you’re not EARNING.
This vicious cycle is holding you back, and it’s time to face the fact that without a strong, cohesive brand, your business will never reach its full potential.
So if you're asking how self-guided brand building is achieved quickly, and without spending tens of thousands on a brand squad?? Let's start with definitely NOT buying another lame course. (TBH, when creating the Brand Lab I went deep into a course hole and bought literally EVERY course on the market). Don't worry, I took extensive notes on all relevant info, and made sure it got implemented into this program.
You ALREADY know MY PICK...BECAUSE...
By this time next month, you could be finalizing your brand voice, logo, and website—setting the stage to start maximizing your incoming cash flow immediately.
In just 2 months, you could have a polished and stylish brand narrative, driving increased visibility, more leads, and higher deal flow, directly boosting your bottom line.
And in a year? You could be celebrating a year of consistent, lucrative financial success, with your brand positioned for even bigger growth and scale.
But here’s the catch— DUHHHHH, that only happens if you choose option 2 and enroll in The Brand Lab by GASM today. This is your chance to seize that light of hope, armed with all the tools, strategies, accountability, and support you need to turn your entrepreneurial dreams into a profitable reality.

I’m not a classically trained web designer. And let’s face it, a lot of people in tech can be very stiff and boring/difficult to collaborate with. I have a commercial casting and fashion background but most importantly an attraction to drama, and romance and I know how to create a salacious narrative and image for your brand that will effectively attract and compel your target audience. All the tech stuff a bonus. I taught myself everything needed to execute the deliverables, and the proof is in the testimonials; but working with people my entire career as an entrepreneur has paved the way for harmonious energetic experiences with my clientele. Very different than your average tech experience, and generally, making it much more enjoyable.
