From Funnyman to Brand Icon.
Alright, let's talk about Ryan Reynolds. We all know him as the hilarious Deadpool, but I want to delve deeper. This guy's a branding ninja in disguise!
Here's why, Ryan Reynolds is a storytelling masterclass for any brand looking to break through the noise:
👾He Hacks Authenticity:
Forget celebrity endorsements. Ryan pokes fun at himself, his movies, even his own damn commercials. This kind of self-aware humor disrupts the usual inauthentic marketing BS and builds real connections.
🗡️Social Media Samurai:
His Twitter? A masterclass in engagement. Witty banter, unexpected turns, and playful jabs at his "frenemy" Hugh Jackman? Pure gold. Keeps everyone glued to the screen, wondering what he'll do next.
📜Storytelling Through Action:
Remember when he bought Aviation Gin and turned it into a pop culture phenomenon? Actions speak louder than ads, people. Ryan understands the power of weaving narratives around his brands.
🍇 Community, Not Consumers:
He doesn't just talk AT you. He interacts with fans, celebrates their creativity, makes them feel like part of something bigger. Remember the Mint Mobile year in review video entirely made by fans? Genius.
My Branding Takeaways:
😂 Self-Deprecation is Your Secret Weapon:
Don't be afraid to show your human side!
A little humor can disarm your audience and make them receptive to your message.
🗣️ Become a Storyteller, Not a Shouter:
Move beyond product features. Tell engaging stories that resonate with your audience on an emotional level.
💕 Turn Fans into Family:
Social media isn't a one-way street. Foster conversations, celebrate your fans, and make them feel valued. They'll become your biggest advocates.
Ryan Reynolds is more than just a pretty face (and let's be honest, the man's undeniably good-looking). He's a branding master who gets the power of storytelling. So, tell me in the comments below – what are YOU doing to make your brand story stand out?

It felt like Rob’s birthday was today but apparently it’s tomorrow? I am posting now because it’s April 14th in Wrexham and I’ll bet people are still up!
Happy Birthday, Rob McElhenney!
LFG, Wrexham AFC!!
and thanks to Vista!!!
The LinkedIn video tab has arrived on my app.
Wow, game changer.
I did find myself scrolling down unimpressed by the content. Abit samey and nothing really stood out. Was I bit more critical as I was in scroll mode? Did I feel I was on Instagram or Facebook. Remember you have barely 3 seconds to engage someone on video scroll.
Which made me think! BIG opportunity for companies and candidates to stand out and shine. SME’s, startup and scale up’s this is your chance to get your brand and culture out there to attract the best talent and business! Get known.
CEO & Founders start using this as go to platform to share your passsion and values on what inspired you to create this business.
Candidates this is your time. Give potential employers a glimpse of who you are behind that profile and what sets you apart.
I definitely think as an SME, startup or scaleup if you have not, it’s time to really think what your employer brand strategy is, engage employee advocacy and get that culture out there. Build your followers, be more human and make it fun and engaging.
I do love what Ryan Reynolds has done so seamlessly so added for a little inspiration on how to be different and more engaging! No pressure!

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day, LinkedIn Community! 🍀
Today is more than just green attire and festive parades. As we embrace the warmth and camaraderie that comes with St. Patrick's Day, I stumbled across an insightful article that delves into its historical significance and how it has evolved into the global celebration we know and love today.
From the story of St. Patrick himself to the way this day fosters cultural pride and connection among the Irish diaspora, the piece offers a refreshing perspective on the importance of preserving heritage while embracing inclusivity.
It also highlights how businesses and brands can thoughtfully engage with this holiday, creating authentic experiences that resonate with audiences and honor tradition.
As we don our green ribbons and raise our glasses in celebration, let's take a moment to appreciate the rich history and cultural tapestry that make St. Patrick's Day a unique blend of festivity and heritage.
Wishing everyone a joyous and safe St. Patrick's Day! May your day be filled with good luck, laughter, and the spirit of togetherness that embodies this special occasion. Sláinte! 🌈🎩

It's #MeetTheTeam Tuesday!👋 Say hello to Miranda Barnfield. Miranda works with our NGI National Constructors team in Austin, TX and has been with us for over 2 years!
#LiveIt.
1.) What brought you to this company?
Triad was a sub-contractor on the job I was on in Hackberry, LA with McDermott. I helped run the material department and ordered all of Triads materials, so I was able to establish a relationship with them. I loved how personal the company was and how they went above and beyond for their employees.
2.) What's the best thing about your job?
Traveling and meeting new people!
3.) Who or what motivates you?
Family
4.) What's the best advice you've ever received?
Make your dreams a priority because you only live once.
5.) What's your favorite quote?
Teamwork makes the dream work.
6.) What's your favorite sports team?
WHO DAT- GO SAINTS
7.) What's your favorite tv show?
I love murder mysteries.
8.) What's one item you can't live without?
Amazon
9.) What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy working out and hanging with my husband and our two dogs.
10.) What's a surprising or fun fact about you?
I'm a triplet.
This is the take. Simon is right. Please do read it.
And do consider its implications. In the #organisationdevelopment and #leadership community we of course abhor the injustices of racialisation and racism. We are, are we not, good people whose work is grounded in values and principle.
This is not good enough.
The dust will settle. For many, white folk, our urgency and realisation will fade. This week I have felt more keenly than ever the deep sorrow, rage and love that #antiracist work evokes in me. I must hang on to, feed, and act from and with those feelings. #OrganisationDevelopment and #Change practitioners and practice must remember and demonstrate our foundation is in social justice work.
We must actively work to dismantle structural racism, show racialisation to be the heinous crime that it is, stand firm and ever strive in our commitment to equity and belonging for everyone. Not just because it is right and we are good. Because the inhumanity of this demeans and diminishes us all, including those of us who, like me, can leave the house never having to fear abuse and attack on us, or our families, because of the colour of our skin.
