Meet Ken Byrne, the operator behind Call The Brands
Ken and Kim Byrne built two fast-growing home-service companies of their own. Call The Brands is how they share that playbook with other owners.
We built it ourselves first
Before Call The Brands helped anyone else, Ken and Kim were in the trenches: answering phones, hiring techs, wrapping trucks and figuring out what makes a customer call back.
They launched Call The Bee in 2020 and grew it from $0 to $40 million in five years. In 2023 they did it again with Call The Whale, which reached $4 million in its first 12 months.
Along the way they learned that the difference between a busy shop and a great company is a system: a brand people remember, marketing that works, clear pricing, the right software and a culture people want to be part of. Call The Brands packages all of it for owner-operators who are ready to grow.
