The ecommerce program that isn't a course.

Brand Builders Academy is a six-month mentorship for people building a real online brand. Coaches who run their own stores, calls almost every day, and systems you copy instead of figure out alone.

Inside the Brand Builders Academy coaching program

What it is

A course hands you videos.
This hands you a team.

Most programs sell you a library and wish you luck. BBA is built the other way round. You get an account manager whose job is your progress, coaches who are running their own ecommerce brands right now, and a schedule of live calls you can show up to with a real problem.

The work itself is the same three things every store owner has to get right: find a product worth selling, build a store that converts, and run ads that pay for themselves. What changed is how much of it you now hand to systems instead of doing by hand.

01

Product

Research with a process behind it, so you are not guessing at what to sell or testing blind.

02

Store

A branded storefront built to convert, not a template with your logo dropped on top.

03

Ads

Paid traffic taught by people spending their own money on it this week, not last year.

Who runs it

Two operators, one program.

People ask how Mark and Alex fit together. Alex built the program. Mark runs it day to day and teaches inside it. Both still operate their own ecommerce brands, which is the entire reason the material stays current.

Mark Studer, who runs Brand Builders Academy

Mark Studer

Runs the program

Started in ecommerce in 2018 and spent nine months failing at it before anything worked. Inside BBA he runs a weekly call where he goes through members' actual store and ad numbers line by line and says what to change.

Alex Fedotoff, who founded Brand Builders Academy

Alex Fedotoff

Founder

Built Brand Builders Academy in 2019 around the model he uses himself: validate a product before you commit to it, then brand it properly and give customers a real experience.

What you get

The parts that actually move things.

An account manager

One person assigned to you whose job is that you get somewhere, not that you feel supported.

Live calls most days

Around ten a week. Bring the problem you are stuck on and leave with the next step.

Coaches who operate

Every coach is required to be running their own ecommerce brand. No career course-sellers.

Systems, not theory

The AI workflows the team uses internally, handed over so you can run them yourself.

A community that answers

Over a thousand members who are actively building. Ask at 11pm, get a real answer.

Six months

Long enough to get through the part where nothing is working yet.

Who it's for

You'll fit here if

  • You are building an ecommerce brand and want it to be your main thing.
  • You have tried something before and it did not work. That counts for you, not against you.
  • You would rather be told exactly what to do next than read another opinion about it.
  • You will actually implement between calls.

Who it's not for

Skip it if

  • You are looking for something quick or automatic.
  • You want to learn about ecommerce more than you want to run one.
  • You have nothing set aside to put into the business itself.
  • You would not show up to the calls.

Entry is by application, and most applications are turned down. If it is not a fit, the team says so on the call rather than selling into it.

Reviews

Hear it from members, not from us.
