Guide to promoting Mighty Wallets
Origin Story - BE MIGHTY!
I went from Starving Artist to Viral Entrepreneur
I started with $300 and a wild idea to make a link-less magnetic bracelet when I was still a struggling (starving) artist in NYC.
Watch my first ever Viral Video that I posted to YouTube in 2006. In 3 months I would make more than I'd make in 5 years at my day job - this started my entrepreneurial journey
After my first ever video on YouTube went viral I made other viral hits from the 2000s and tried inventing new products along the way... like Desk DOTS
After having my magnetic inventions get really badly knocked off by dubious companies I doubled all my efforts to promote my wallet invention.
Eventually the success of my Google TV Ad and the popularity of Mighty Wallets put my company on the Inc's Fastest Growing List 3 years in a row;
Inventing the Mighty Brand
When I invented the first Tyvek Wallet in 2005 I had to find a way to market a wallet that no one had ever seen before that was;
- Made of Tyvek® (like express mail envelopes and housing wrap)
- Designed with a single origami sheet, not stitched, just folded.
- Can be recycled at special facilities
Brand tag-lines and slogans
Mighty Wallet Catchphrase
Putting all these concepts together in a way that was easy to communicate was a challenge but over time what I came up with was;
Mighty Thin
Mighty Strong
Mighty Green™
Mighty Wallet is not just about features and benefits, it’s about a connection to something more personal. After all a wallet is one of 3 things you carry with you everyday;
- Phone
- Keys
- Wallet
Customers buy a wallet but live an experience
Mighty Wallet is an Experience!
The Mighty Wallet experience is what turns skeptics into lifelong fans and brand advocates.
- It’s the fun of picking a cool design that’s right for you
- It’s the fun of watching your Mighty Wallet expand and adapt as you fill it/use it
- It’s the connection you build with your wallet over time as cashiers, clerks and waiters all comment “What a cool wallet!”
- It’s the marvel you have after years of use realizing your little Mighty Wallet has stood the test of time.
A Successful Brand that Continues to Grow
A Brand Success Story
After 7 years of hard work marketing this product at Trade Shows and on YouTube, Mighty Wallet became hugely successful in the early 2010’s and put my company Dynomighty on the Inc’s Fastest Growing companies list for 3 years.
Not bad for an Artist who had no idea what I was doing! LOL
Today the Mighty Wallet is being discovered by a whole new generation of minimalist wallet enthusiasts, sustainability and vegan consumers - all learning about the cool properties of the Mighty Wallet for the first time.

What NOT to Promote
Many fans can misinterpret the “tear-resistance” of the Mighty Wallet as “Tear-Proof” which leads to fans attempting to tear their wallets with significant force and sometimes with success.
If anyone wants to test the strength of Tyvek® you can use the business card inserts as a way to feel how strong Tyvek® is and also to make a convincing demonstration on video. The opener to the “Unbox Therapy Video” is a great example of this;
