The brief

Kyle Parayko was an elite-level coach with a growing social presence, real coaching credentials, and zero digital infrastructure to show for it. No online store. No email list. No brand. We built all of it from scratch.

Kyle was earning through in-person training but entirely dependent on his physical presence. The vision was bigger: build a digital brand that could sell training programs online, attract content partnerships, and elevate his profile enough that the in-person side grew too.

What I built
Brand identity from scratch
Built the full visual identity for KP Elite — logo, color system, typography, and brand language that positioned Kyle as a serious performance coach operating at an elite level.
Brand collab negotiation + content
Negotiated and managed paid partnerships with Under Armour Canada, NFL Canada, Curry Brand, Foot Locker, Way of Wade, and Mary Brown's × Blue Jays — and filmed and produced the content for each.
Shopify store + digital products
Built the KP Elite Shopify store from zero — digital training programs and a purchasing experience designed to convert a social audience into paying customers.
Email marketing + flows
Built and grew the email list from nothing — welcome flows and promotional campaigns that generate revenue without requiring manual attention.
ManyChat lead generation
Automated flows that capture leads directly from Instagram — turning post engagement and DMs into a trackable, growing pipeline.
Systems + ongoing operations
Built the operational systems that keep the business running so Kyle can focus on coaching and content.
The thinking

A creator-led business has to feel like a genuine extension of the person. Everything we built for KP Elite was designed to translate Kyle's real-world credibility into a digital presence that could open doors he was not able to knock on before.

Landing a paid deal with Under Armour Canada or NFL Canada does not happen by accident. It happens because the brand looks the part and the content is produced at the right level. But the result I am most proud of is that as the digital brand grew, so did the calibre of in-person clients — Serge Ibaka, Andrew Nicholson — pro athletes who found a coach they trusted because the brand communicated exactly what he is capable of.

Testimonial coming soon — reaching out this week.

The outcome

A fully operational digital business built from zero — Shopify store live, digital products selling, systems running.

Paid brand collaborations with Under Armour Canada, NFL Canada, Curry Brand, Foot Locker, Way of Wade, and Mary Brown's × Toronto Blue Jays.

Pro athlete clients including Serge Ibaka and Andrew Nicholson — a direct result of the elevated brand presence.

A growing email list and ManyChat pipeline generating leads from Instagram on autopilot.
