Trust is dying. Build a personal brand that actually drives business.
We've partnered with brands worth a combined $10B and 50M+ followers — so we know what most don't. We reveal the secrets that turn your face into a trusted authority, drive real business, and keep you from getting buried in a world of AI-generated content.
Experience shaped by a $10B portfolio of 50M+ combined followers.
A 50-something-year-old CEO running a $200M business. He didn't know the first thing about social media. We coached him through the hook, the superhook, the energy, and the pacing — while he was driving. The very next video he posted broke a million views.
Pace Morby understands social media and attention. He didn't build a 2M+ following by luck. So when he hired me as Creative Director, I dug deep. What I found was shocking: high views, suboptimal conversions. I diagnosed the issue and edited his very next video myself. It broke 1.5 million views and lifted conversions an estimated 12×.

Gavin Kuruvilla · Founder
I've spent the last decade behind the scenes — directing creative and partnering with brands worth a combined $10B and 50M+ followers. Building trust with a personal brand is not what it was 10 years ago. AI videos are so good now, people are literally building person-less personal brands. The landscape has shifted. I'm here to help.
I grew my own personal brand to over a quarter-million followers, and that's why a multi-billion dollar brand like Best Western trusted me to be the on-camera face of their TikTok when they launched — because even they understood that people connect with people, not just brands.
Up Your Reach exists because the people who actually need this knowledge — founders, operators, and action-takers with maybe a few thousand followers — don't have access to the playbook the big guys play from. They're still competing with AI videos. I'm here to change that.
Trust is dying. That's exactly why building your personal brand matters now more than ever.
Run a business? Build is the agency arm of Up Your Reach — a creative director and a done-for-you content team in one, for owners who want to hand off the work.
