The Ideal Kennedy’s Man, Part 4
Copyright (c) 2009 Kennedy’s All-American Club
Our Ongoing Picks of the Gents Who Best Exemplify the Kennedy?s All-American Spirit
At Kennedy?s All-American Barber Club®, we respect ? and make every attempt to emulate – those who turn business into an art; CEO?s who, through their originality and audaciousness have made themselves bigger than any company they?ve begun and at least as big as any entertainment superstar who?s made the front cover of ?Entertainment Weekly? or ?The National Enquirer.? They are truly their own brand ? and as worthy of our respect just for becoming successes by sheer force of their unique genius and personality.
That?s the reasoning behind this round of Ideal Kennedy?s Man picks. All three of these living legends can, on occasions, be controversial, outspoken and criticized ? but none of the three can ever be ignored (but at least one of them might consider a trip to a nearby Kennedy?s All-American Barber Club® for a new hairstyle ? you can decide which one we?re talking about?). So, without further ado, meet three super CEO?s who went beyond their balance sheets to join the Ideal Kennedy?s Men Hall of Fame!
RICHARD BRANSON
Who: The man who made Virgin an international brand attached to everything from airlines to soft drinks.
Why: Because he successfully promoted a brash, adventurous image while very carefully and cautiously building a business empire. Because when you think of Richard Branson, you think of a combination of James Bond and Donald Trump. Because he still holds the record for crossing the English Channel in the quickest time and he was knighted by the queen for his achievements in entrepreneurship. And because he has made cameo appearances in a James Bond and a Superman movie, and got into a water fight with Stephen Colbert on ?The Colbert Report.? And mostly because he makes running an international empire look like fun.
Fun Fact: Branson titled his 1998 autobiography, ?Losing My Virginity.?
Extra Fun Fact: Kennedy?s co-founder, Nick Nanton, scored a quick and memorable interview with Branson this past October 28th ? check out the video (and see Nick and Sir Richard?s photo together) on Nick?s Facebook account at http://www.facebook.com/Nicknanton. And let us know if you can figure out what Sir Richard is actually saying!
DONALD TRUMP
Who: ?The Donald.?
Why: Because Trump has made himself the international symbol of success. Like all super-successful businessmen, he?s had his share of ups and downs when it comes to his vast real estate and casino holdings ? but he?s made an indelible impression on the entrepreneur landscape through his best-selling books and his top-rated reality show, ?The Apprentice.? And most of all, because he had the cajones to take on Rosie O?Donnell – who has about a hundred pounds on him. You don?t like him? ?You?re Fired!?
Fun Fact: Trump has hosted two WrestleMania events at Trump Plaza. Neither involved a match with Rosie O?Donnell.
STEVE JOBS
Who: The CEO of Apple, who works for the huge annual salary of?$1.00.
Why: Because he not only revolutionized the computer business when he formed Apple in 1976, but he also revolutionized the entire music industry with the iPod and iTunes. Because he insisted that the traditional boring beige boxes that housed computers needed more pizzazz ? and so did the computer itself. Because his Macintosh operation system begat Windows and the modern computer interface as we know it, and his iPhone is now the hottest cell phone on the market. Because his amazing innovative marketing and product development has made Apple one of the most known brands around the world ? a brand that almost crashed and burned when the company he began actually fired him in the 1980?s and sunk into a traditional corporate rut without him. In 1997, Jobs returned and made the company bigger than ever, despite some major health problems that plague him to this day.
Fun Fact: In the 70?s, Jobs dropped out of college, dropped acid, shaved his head and backpacked across India.

December ‘09 Favourites: Part 2 of 2
Follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com Read my blog: www.ozbugetbeauty.blogspot.com My other channel www.youtube.com Yes, you read correctly – this is my December favourites posted BEFORE December is even half over. If you want to know how or why I was able to do this, check out part 1. Part 1: www.youtube.com Brigette’s Boutique: www.brigettesboutique.com promo code OZBUDGET5 for 5% discount until December 15th #7 L’Oreal HIP Paints HIP Tute url goes here These are truly gorgeous products and will be a go-to for me this month for quick looks. 7b Starsmakeuphaven.com Doublestack pallet. URL to show and tell goes here. #8 PINK. Nails – Inglot nailpolish. Love the colour (not sure exactly which one, it’s in another room now so I’ll check and update later) but hate the formulation. It’s really ’streaky’ and I can’t seem to get it to just go opaque – even with three coats… Will have to try a few different bases, methinks, but I dunno if I’m going to have enough time for all the faffing around, what with two small kids and lotsa travelling… Lips – Rimmel 006 “pink blush”, possible dupe for MAC St Germain? Or at least a midpoint between St Germain and Posh by MAC. BYS – no name – just a bubblegum pink. Gorgeous and surprisingly very creamy texture! For $2.99 it’s amazing. Designer Brands – ‘Gelati Pink’. Very sheer, very ’shiny’. Frosty, yet pearly, and not too thick and gungy Designer Brands – Lipgloss. Not sure of the name, again…
Marketing Should Be a Part Of Your Brand Strategy. But Why Are You Failing?
Coming up with a brand strategy is as complex as can be. Even those companies who have management people with Post Graduate degrees sometimes fail miserably when it comes to marketing. Sometimes the obvious and simple are the often disregarded aspects of your marketing strategy. For people who have higher education, they would tend to look at it on theory. Unfortunately, knowing too much of theory but failing to do the practical side of things can make every plan fail like a house of cards crumbling down.
Theory and practical must reach a common ground if you want your strategy to achieve its goal. Marketing really is a simple subject. It is all about the customers. Everything about your brand begins and ends with the customers. You need not trivialize everything and try to look for a deeper meaning about certain things. Simply put, marketing is all about listening to your market and getting to know them. Only then can you try to make plans and implement those plans as well.
If it is all about the customer then the people behind the brand should think about them all the time. It is not as complex as it sounds.
Who is the brand for? The brand is of course for your target market. But do you really know who they are? Statistical demographics come in handy when it comes to getting to know your market. Don’t be too reliant on the figures though as these are just existing to give you a basic idea of who the people you are targeting is. What do your market think about? What are the issues that matter to them? These may be questions that you will think irrelevant but they are. Knowing what matters to them is important because through these you can target your brand events and corporate image enhancing programs using the information you got through the answers to this questions.
Part of knowing your market is to know what medium of communication they use. If they are always on the internet then creating a bigger social media marketing strategy is a must. So the bottom line is that you must expertly know your market if you want a successful brand strategy.
