Brendan Cox — CEO
I'm Brendan. College dropout. VP of Organic Growth at Aura. Mentor to early-stage marketers. Advisor to brands that want to actually win through digital marketing. I've driven 3+ billion views across the internet in the last five years. Believe me, I wasn’t following any playbook…just understanding what makes people stop scrolling and hit share. What I do: I turn brands nobody's heard of into brands people say, “Oh yeah, I’ve seen that.” My journey: I studied entrepreneurship in college and quickly realized the education system was broken, and wouldn’t help me get where I wanted to go. So I took matters into my own hands and started Business Blurb to teach people the way they actually learn today…through social media. Along the way, I realized I was really good at it, which led me into the startup world where I helped brands scale through social. Now I’ve moved beyond just focusing on social and spend my days helping grow brands through digital marketing. A few wins worth mentioning: ➡️ The Wine Savant: Most-followed glassware brand in the world. Sold out multiple product launches due to our TikTok first strategies. 1k to 600k followers in one year. ➡️ Business Blurb: Featured by Forbes after reaching 20 million monthly viewers. 100k to 1M followers in under 2 years. ➡️ Aescape: Will Smith reposted us (still blows my mind). Consistent online and local news coverage as we rolled out 100 locations in one year. Built a micro-influencer program of 1K+. Stealth to 450k followers in under 2 years. 1 billion+ views. ➡️ Fi: Built the biggest micro-dog influencer program in the industry, leading to partnerships with Bark Box, Strava and HOKA. Named the most dog friendly office in the world by Yahoo and featured on front page of Reddit due to the virality of @OfficeDogs. ➡️ Creator Management: Been behind creator stunts that have landed headlines in the New York Times and have led to merchandise sell-outs and sponsorships from Bumble, Amazon Prime, and more. What I actually care about: I have a deep understanding of what it takes to EARN attention on the internet in 2026. Whether that’s through creative social content, building influencer programs, landing press, and more. What I’m not: Traditional. Polished. Interested in “best practices” that don’t actually work. What I am: Someone who knows how to turn scrappy ideas into shareable moments, and has the receipts to prove it.
