How marvel is leveraging Robert Downey Jr? Marvel recently announced that Robert Downey Jr. will return to the MCU in a new character. This move has created significant buzz around the world. From a business perspective, it is a great move as Marvel has not seen its peak since 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' Bringing back RDJ is a great strategic move to tap into people's nostalgia and the love they have for him. The business lessons we can learn from this are the power of rebranding and leveraging nostalgia. RDJ is brought back to tap into nostalgia but in a new character. Another lesson we can learn is the power of personal branding. Remember, RDJ is not returning as the beloved character Iron Man but as a new character. The storm it created around the world shows how powerful personal branding can be in business. What are your thoughts on this move? Do you remember any other business or brand rebranding or reintroducing its iconic product in the market? #Marvel #RobertDowneyJr #MCU #BusinessStrategy #NostalgiaMarketing #PersonalBranding #Rebranding #MarketingLessons #BusinessGrowth #EntertainmentIndustry #Innovation #CustomerEngagement #BrandLoyalty #MarvelFans #BusinessInsights

_____ was just _____ of age… We just heard that phrase once again when Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Larry Allen passed away at 52. I don’t know the details but I do know that we all don’t know when but we do know the inevitability of the outcome. Are you sleepwalking through life or are you doing everything possible to live your version of an extraordinary life?

A "bizarre" talent partnership that dropped this week that I love, despite the headlines Burberry's ad with "Cold" Cole Palmer features the Premier League star sitting by a pond for 9 minutes and 34 seconds—occasionally adjusting his fishing rod. That's it. Literally, that’s all that happens. 🎣 No product features. No music. No edits. No CTA. With Cole's popularity at an all-time high and his brilliant nickname (and his iconic celebration to match), it's well played by Burberry to align with him and put Cole in their classic duffle coat. Plus, the #ItsAlwaysBurberryWeather slogan couldn’t be more fitting. The ad starts as if Cole himself hits 'record' on the camera. In a world full of marketing that’s overloaded with effects and dynamics, this ad takes a refreshing approach—a calm, soothing break from the noise. I appreciate it similar to how I enjoy YouTube's "Enjoy The Zen" ads. On the back end, this sort of filming day is low lift for a talent with an extremely busy work schedule at the moment. The simplicity of the filming process likely made it appealing, enabling him to shoot the ad in a short amount of time without extensive production demands. It also benefits Burberry, allowing them to leverage Cole's rising star power without a hefty budget. Nice one Burberry ! #talentpartnerships #culturemarketing #entertainmentmarketing https://lnkd.in/gShacmx9

Here’s some insight into my journey with The Modern Artisan with YOOX NET-A-PORTER and The Kings Foundation and my approach to design.

Yesterday, during the Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions game, Oscar Mayer transported us back in time with a heartwarming commercial featuring a little boy sitting on a dock, singing the iconic jingle: "My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R..." For decades, this jingle has been etched into the memories of millions. Hearing it again during a Thanksgiving football game—a time already steeped in tradition and nostalgia—was a brilliant move. Why? Because nostalgia is a powerful branding tool. It taps into our emotions, creating a sense of familiarity and trust. It reminds us of simpler times and reinforces the connection we’ve built with a brand over the years. In an era where innovation is king, it’s easy to overlook the value of the past. Yet, Oscar Mayer's ad reminds us that weaving nostalgia into modern marketing can spark recognition, engagement, and even joy. For your brand, consider: What elements of your history can you revive? Logos, taglines, or imagery that longtime customers recognize can strengthen loyalty. How can you tie nostalgia to a moment? Oscar Mayer knew Thanksgiving and football are ripe with traditions, making it the perfect backdrop. Can nostalgia bridge generations? While the ad resonated with adults who remember the jingle, the charm of a singing child makes it appealing to younger audiences too. As we create new campaigns, let’s not forget the emotional power of looking back. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to remind people where we’ve been. What role does nostalgia play in your branding? How have you leveraged it—or would you consider it? Let’s discuss! #BrandStrategy #NostalgiaMarketing #OscarMayer #ThanksgivingMarketing #Advertising https://lnkd.in/e6DurTbv

The CSC applauds curation over provenance. If your point of view is compelling, the CSC Vanguard will pay attention. Brands like Pompeii employ football as a form of fan fiction – imagining Pompeii Club de Fútbol as the “best dressed club in the world”, even if they’ll never play a game. New concepts like Systemarosa curate vintage kits alongside archival ads and stories around the style of football. Artists like Jamie Liam Humphrey take a more abstract view on football, using nets and pitches as points of focus in a beautifully reduced way.
