Building Your Brand World with Rick Wittenbraker

​Cain & Co's Summer Innovator Series invites you to join a small-group session with Rick Wittenbraker, partner at Howler Brothers, co-founder of Stage One Capital, and former marketing leader at YETI. Rick has built his career around growing brands that create a genuine emotional connection with people, including helping grow YETI from a local startup into a powerhouse global brand.

​Rick will share what it takes to build more than a great product, creating a distinct brand world that customers want to be part of. Drawing on his experience as an operator, investor, and advisor, we'll explore how founders can build brands that resonate, earn loyalty, and endure as the business grows.

​Space is limited — this is an intentionally small session capped at 10–15 participants.

​There will be plenty of time for audience questions and discussion.

​Two Reminders:

• ​This conversation will be held under Chatham House Rule: Participants are free to use the insights shared, but may not attribute comments to any individual, creating space for open and candid dialogue.

• ​Following the session, Cain & Co is happy to facilitate thoughtful, double opt-in introductions where there is clear mutual interest.
