About Us
We’re Dead Brands.
Dead Brands, LLC is a family-oriented small business in Pottsville, Pennsylvania with a loud personality and a habit of getting things done. We help small and mid-sized businesses fix the systems behind the work, from SAP Business One and Odoo ERP to CRM, automation, and brand revival. Straight talk, real results, and no 40-slide decks.
Who we are
Dead Brands, LLC is a small crew with a big engine, based in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. We’re family-oriented to the core — this business runs on the same values as the dinner table: show up, tell the truth, and take care of your people.
We’re loud on purpose. In a world of beige agencies and 40-slide decks, we’d rather say the thing nobody else will say and then do the work nobody else will do. Our team is a tight crew of operators — David sets the vision, and Rock, Craig, Jax, and Nova run business development, operations, and outreach end to end.
What we do: revive the brands of yesterday and build the businesses of tomorrow. Too many good companies are running on a great business and a tired brand — the story they tell the world stopped being true somewhere around 2014. We fix the positioning, the messaging, and the content engine that keeps the story alive. And for the inside of the business, we bring serious ERP firepower — Odoo and SAP Business One — to small and midsize companies that can’t afford to get their systems wrong.

Why us?
You talk to the doers
No account managers, no telephone game. The people on the call are the people doing the work.
ERP battle scars
10+ years in Odoo and SAP Business One. We’ve seen every way a project can break — and we plan for all of them.
Results, not theater
We measure what changed, not what shipped. No 40-slide decks, no demos that collect dust.
Small means fast
Decisions in days, not quarters. When something needs doing, it gets done — usually yesterday.
Real accountability
Family-owned, based in Pottsville, PA. We answer our own email and we stand behind the work.
Loud on purpose
Beige doesn’t sell. We’d rather be remembered than ignored — and so should your brand.
What we stand for
Family first
We’re a family-oriented business. The people we work with get treated like people we’ll see at the cookout — because around here, that’s not far from the truth.
Loud on purpose
Beige doesn’t sell. We say what we mean, we have a personality, and we’d rather be remembered than ignored.
Small team, big engine
We stay lean and move fast. A tight crew of specialists means Fortune-500 output without the Fortune-500 overhead — or the invoice.
No theater, just results
No 40-slide decks. No demos that collect dust. We find the work that’s eating your week, fix it, and measure what changed.
Meet the team
Dead Brands is a small crew with a big engine. David sets the vision; the crew gets it done.
David Strausser
Founder & CEO
ERP veteran (Odoo & SAP Business One), Shark Bite Biz podcast host, dad, guitarist. Sets the vision, tells the story, and still answers his own email.
Rock Wells
VP of Business Development
Runs business development end to end: research, outreach, partnerships, and follow-through. If something got built overnight, Rock probably built it.
Craig Bennett
Director of Operations
Runs the day-to-day operations and keeps the engine room humming. Every project tracked, every commitment kept, nothing slipping through the cracks.
The founder’s road here
Most ERP consultants started in IT. David started in another country. He spent 15 years living in Mexico — long enough to become fluent in Spanish and long enough to serve as a binational advisor to Baja California’s Secretary of Tourism, helping American companies bring products into Latin America. That work taught him something most tech people never learn: business is done across cultures, currencies, and time zones, and the people who win are the ones who actually listen before they pitch.
He’s spent 10+ years inside the ERP world from every angle that matters — including as General Manager of the Northeast region at Vision33, a leading global SAP Business One partner, and as VP of Business Development at SEIDOR. He’s been the guy in the vendor’s chair, so he knows every trick in the book. Now he works for you. Today he’s contracted as Head of Sales for Quaint Business Solutions, a boutique ERP consulting firm implementing SAP Business One and Odoo for US small and midsize businesses.
Off the clock he’s a dad — the organizing principle of his life — a guitarist still chasing the rock star dream, and a Philadelphia Eagles fan through every season.
