Here at The Brandery, we have a team of co-founders and a General Manager who are connected and willing to help at any time. You'll grab time with the founders periodically throughout the program, and you'll see GM Mike Bott day-in and day-out. So who are the founders?
*Dave Knox* is the CMO of "Rockfish":http://www.rockfishinteractive.com and a former P&G Brand Manager. Check out Dave's great brand management blog, "Hard Knox Life":http://www.hardknoxlife.com. *Bryan Radtke* is the Vice President of Strategy at Rockfish. *JB Kropp* works for Twitter in Strategic Partnerships. *Rob McDonald* is an attorney at Taft, Stettinius and Hollister, LLP. The co-founders can be found around Cincinnati frequently, constantly driving toward strengthening the startup ecosystem. Because of their deep passion for our mission, the co-founders will go to great lengths to ensure the success of our startups.
GM Mike Bott was added to the team in 2012, as The Brandery really began to take off. Mike is ex-AOL, ex-Match.com, and ex-P&G, and fosters his extensive knowledge in digital marketing, lean startups, and product management when advising the teams in the program. You'll have weekly meetings (most teams end up meeting with him a lot more than one hour a week) with Mike to check in on your progress. He's there for you every day of the program. Startups in the past have _kind of_ gotten along with him.
@brandery did I mention a pizza machine, twinky maker and a 1/30 chance to gaze into @mcbott's eyes each day...
