65. Midwest Nice Meets Modern Branding: A Conversation with Mike Brevik of Cyberdogz

from Branding Your Business · host Praise Santos McKenna

In this heart-forward episode of Branding Your Business, Praise Santos McKenna sits down with Mike Brevik, founder of the Midwest-based branding agency CyberDogz for a soulful and strategy-rich convo. Mike opens up about his transition from corporate marketing to running a brand agency rooted in relationships, grit, and that iconic “Midwest nice.” They unpack why owning what others already see in you—your smile, your roots, your curly hair—is a branding superpower, and why relationships (not transactions) are the true growth strategy. Mike shares agency lessons, client stories, and how side projects that just feel fun (like co-branding a motorcycle) are fueling his work in 2025. They talk consistency, personal brand resistance, and building a brand with pride—plus the secret power of asking: “Wouldn’t it be cool if…?”Connect with Mike: Instagram: @CyberdogzmarketingWebsite: cyberdogzmarketing.comPodcast: Brand RetroView the transcript of the episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠!Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Building & Becoming Community Waitlist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get our⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Brand Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brand Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (pro tip: mention this podcast and get some cool perks!)Connect with Praise:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/comeplum⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/brandingyourbusinesspodcas⁠⁠⁠⁠t⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
