Sergei Capaul

Founder

Backroads Branding started at the intersection of everything I care about: my love for country music, storytelling and the art of building brands that connect. I’ve spent many years as a Brand Marketing Manager where I shaped campaigns, built strategies and helped brands show up with purpose but music as always been a constant for me. Growing up on a Christmas Tree Farm, country music was the soundtrack to my life and I learned early on that the stories told in music are lived and easily relatable. I’ve always wanted to combine my love for marketing and storytelling with my passion for music and help artists develop a visual identity that connects with audiences the way it has for me.
That’s why I started Backroad Branding, built on a backroad and driven by stories.
