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!!

“We care about what our customers care about. We take pride in learning and understanding where our customers desire to grow and ultimately go. By understanding this first, we can then look internally for opportunities to lock arms with our customers to help expedite the trajectory to achieve their long-term goals. This organically increases the level of trust on both sides, and truly maximizes what we can accomplish together in the partnership.” - Jeremy Willey, Vice President of National Accounts
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!
Speak to us if you need any direction on your Employer brand, LinkedIn strategy & any recruitment needs you may have!

When a business aligns its goals with customer needs and secures the right funding, teamwork can indeed lead to great achievements. It’s the synergy of these elements that can propel a business to success. If you’re looking to start a business or need resources.
Our Closers, Packagers (and Austin) reunited in-person at last!
Not a single dollar of volume gets closed without this team.

Willy - great responses to the CNBC questions. And I agree that the banks have averted a crisis in commercial lending; however, plenty of other brewing challenges are ahead for most Americans.
The yield curve is still inverted - bad news for most of the non-public developers/owners for the next 18 months. This will be a challenge for a substantial number of owners and their permanent lenders (CMBS and Agencies).
Multifamily owners are facing unprecedented higher costs including insurance, property taxes, and labor. These costs will be passed along to tenants. However, a popular theme is that corporate greed is the problem and not the unprecedented inflation over the past three years.
The Biden/Harris/Walz proposal to limit rent increases to 5% per annum will have unintended consequences. Class A- and B properties will not be improved, which will lead to a tsunami of sub-standard Class C properties. Affordable maybe, but unlivable. Check out New York and Chicago.
Perversely, the affordable market has been propped up by 15 million new non-residents who are seeking shelter. The supply/demand curve for affordable housing has been rocked by this unprecedented demand. Rents are still rising despite significant supply increases.
Not a great scenario when wage increases are significantly less than rent increases.
And the $25,000 new homeowner credit will not be equitable. Renters who cannot qualify will be left behind -only new homeowners will qualify. What about all the buyers who just bought a home and did not receive this graft? This is akin to the college debt relief program - the students who worked hard to pay off the debt will be disenfranchised.
IMHO, 2025 will strain consumers' wallets, particularly the majority of Americans who cannot/shouldn't pay more than 30% of their income on rent.
Our Chairman and CEO of Walker & Dunlop, Willy Walker will be speaking with David Faber and Sara Eisen live from CNBC’s New York studio this morning at 10:40am ET on Squawk on the Street. Be sure to tune in!
