Why Marketing Works: Ryan Reynolds Built a $350M Fortune off the Back of Stellar Marketing
Pedro Pascal might be America’s favorite Daddy, but that didn’t stop Ryan Reynolds from becoming the world’s biggest marketing Zaddy with his wit, charm, and killer entrepreneurial instincts that managed to dominate pop culture over the last ten years.
How did this once B-list comedian manage to rise to the top of the pop culture game? Aidan breaks down Ryan’s scrappy climb to the top, starting with his ingenious grassroots campaign to fund the release of a little-known film called, “Deadpool” which brought his name to the top of the list of Hollywood’s A-Game.
But Reynolds didn’t stop there. From Aviation Gin, Mint Mobile, and Wrexham AFC, what made him so successful at brand marketing where other celebrity influencers have failed? Aidan explains how Ryan’s honesty, wit, and personal appeal captured the adoration of audiences everywhere and why he deserves to go down in history as one of the greatest marketers of all time.
