The Power of Personal Branding: Lessons from Celebrity Tequila Ventures Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Mark Wahlberg have turned personal branding into lucrative ventures with their tequila brands. Their success is a masterclass in leveraging authenticity, storytelling, and influence to dominate a competitive market. For C-suite leaders, this raises two transformative questions: How can we evolve beyond transactional value to create brands that embody a deeper connection with our audience? Are we leading with a story that inspires trust, loyalty, and action—or simply selling a product? In an era where authenticity drives market share, aligning your leadership and brand vision isn’t optional—it’s essential.

It’s not enough to build a brand strategy you love – you have to use it to make hard, bold tradeoffs. Sometimes I get the question from CEOs who have just completed a brand strategy – how do we make the most of this? And I encourage them to model their commitment to the brand overtly and often. Using the brand as a North Star for the whole organization to see gives employees air cover to do the same. This is a significant (some would say the MOST significant) unlock from brand – it scales your leadership down and out, so that everyone is creating untold value for the business.??#brandstrategy #leadership

What do you think of Walmart’s new private label, bettergoods? I’ll tell you what I think. Innovate or get left behind. But – you know – *actually* innovate. Solve people’s problems. But *actually* solve them. And actually solve *real* problems. Ideally with a solution (IP) that doesn’t exist yet. Is this harder? Yes. Is it more defensible? Also Yes. #innovation #strategy #leadership #cpg

Moats around many of the innovative brands the last decade are slowly being tested by well capitalized challengers; will be interesting to see how this plays out. But also bravo to leadership here for breaking stuff to find the next wave of growth with consumers under the same umbrella. More brands in later stage US development scale should be doing this; lower risk with high reward on learnings.

I've been privileged to work with brands and agencies across disciplines in my career. Public relations. Advertising. Media. Technology. But, at the end of the day, I was trained and remain a communicator. I love to write. I enjoy the process of listening, interpreting and then translating what needs to be said and the right way to say it. I'm also pretty voracious in my reading of leadership books. Those penned by philosophers, CEOs, generals or others. They always teach me something. And, fairly consistently, they remind me of the power of clear, simple and direct communications. So it is, I read the below today from newly-anointed Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, and nodded along with respect and admiration for the words, the sequence and the sentiment. Simple. Honest. Self-aware. Clear. Compelling. And, quite related, not filled with fluff, jargon or superfluous stuff. A masterclass. Well done. #leadership #corporatecommunications #brandcommunications

What are your thoughts on this? This is a fascinating real life case study to follow on #leadership, and #organizational_strategy. Following Starbucks' recently appointed CEO Brian Niccol, I am reminded of how important it is for companies to identify the core of what makes them great, then to be extremely cautious not to deviate from that core. It seems as though in many cases, it isn't big decisions that lead a company down the wrong path, rather it is the compounding effect of many seemingly small and insignificant decisions. I think this is a great lesson on why strict adherence to a well thought out mission, vision, and values is important for any company. Any decision, no matter how small, should be filtered through that lens. If making a decision in a certain way leads the company away from its mission, vision, and values EVEN A LITTLE BIT, it should be re-considered. Excited to follow along as we get to watch a talented leader help a struggling company return back to what made it great in the first place! I must admit, it is hard to find that "Third Place" now a 'days...
