Build the brand
people obsess over.
Coaching from 17 years inside Apple, PUMA, EA Sports and WHO IS ELIJAH. Two programs open for February. One more is coming.
By application
only.
Every cohort is capped. I read every application myself, and every person in the room is there because it's the right fit. No countdown timers. Just real seats.
Three ways
to work with me.
Front Door and The Build open for February, both with sessions from special guests who are experts in their field.

Big brand discipline.
Startup speed.
I'm Britt Austin. I've spent 17 years building brands from the inside at Apple, PUMA, EA Sports, rebel and WHO IS ELIJAH. Product launches, global campaigns, creator strategy, retail.
Now I run State of Brand and coach the founders, athletes and creators building what's next. Same playbook. Your scale.
You can't copy my story.
From the stage
to your brand.





Guest experts.
In their field.
Front Door and The Build include sessions with special guests. The line up is revealed in January.
Questions.
Who is Front Door for?
Founders, athletes, creators and anyone building something who knows their name should be doing more of the work.
I run a bigger brand. Which program is for me?
Apply for The Build and we'll work out the right fit on our call. The Board is also coming for bigger brands. It's capped at 10, so register your interest at the bottom of this page to hear first.
When do the programs start?
February 2027, with onboarding in January. Your exact start date is confirmed on your call.
What's the investment?
Front Door is $500 a week for 4 weeks, or $2,000 upfront. A brand strategy with me is normally $3,500 on its own, so this is a big saving. The Build is $750 a week for 12 weeks, or monthly with a $4,000 strategy month then $2,500 a month ($9,000 total). All prices plus GST. Book before 1 December and take $200 off, plus a weekly task from me until we start.
Why application only?
Small cohorts work when everyone in the room is at a similar stage. Applying lets me make sure the program is right for you before you commit.
