Curious to know your thoughts on a situation like mine where someone is already branded under an agency name...

I'd probably leave the shop under a brand name, then add a text to the landing explaining who you are and maybe some kind of "made by a x-year-old" or something on the footer.

People are normally more inclined to help individuals, especially teenagers, than big brands, so you may even see some positive numbers if you do this.

Would be interesting to A/B test it and report the results... :thinking:
