In this episode of The Growth Class, host Phil Masiello interviews Chris Bray, co-founder of BILLYKIRK and co-founder of Bray Brothers Creative.

Chris shares the story of how he and his brother transformed a simple leather watch strap idea into a heritage brand known for timeless craftsmanship and products designed to last for decades.

Chris also discusses the inspiration behind Bray Brothers Creative, where the team helps companies rethink corporate gifting and hospitality design by replacing disposable promotional items with meaningful, well-crafted experiences that strengthen customer relationships and elevate brand perception.

There are a lot of "experts" out there giving advice who’ve never built a thing. They’ve never stayed up all night sweating a product launch. Never had to scale a team. Never had to meet payroll.

They’re just regurgitating what they read in someone else’s book.

That’s not me.
I’ve built brands. I’ve scaled them. I’ve exited them. I’ve failed, won, and fought through it all.

And now, my team and I help brands do it every single day — across eCommerce, retail, and digital.
We don’t just advise — we execute.
We write the playbook.

So if you’re done with fluff, fake gurus, and marketers who’ve never sold anything outside of a slide deck — you’re in the right place.

This show is real strategies, real tactics, and real talk.
