This document discusses how brands should operate like the A-Team in order to become "Brands of Fortune." It argues that brands need to have an elite team of experts in different fields like strategy, rhetoric, transportation, and mechanics. They also need clear core purposes and goals centered around customer needs. By adapting to changing conditions, using technology innovatively, crafting compelling arguments, and reaching customers through multiple channels, brands can achieve their goals and become the preferred choice, just like the A-Team.

MARKETEERS VS PEOPLE:
PEOPLE LIVE IN THE NOW, WHEN THEY WANT
AND NEED TO COMMIT TO A BRAND, SERVICE OR
PRODUCT, THERE IS ONLY ONE QUESTION.
“WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?”

6. BRANDS, SERVICES AND
PRODUCTS TODAY, SHARE
THE SAME GROUNDS,
ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY
AND CHANNELS, AS THE
PEOPLE THEY WANT TO SELL
OR DO BUSINESS WITH.
THE WAY YOU REACH,
RESONATE AND BECOME
RELEVANT TO THEM IS KEY.

7. WHAT MUST BRANDS DO, TO REACH,
BECOME RELEVANT AND RESONATE?

8. GIVE VOICE, ENABLE ACTION,
MAKE THEM PART OF THE BRAND’S
CORE, STORY OR CHALLENGE.

9. LIKE THE SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, A.K.A. THE A-TEAM,
BRANDS MUST HAVE A CORE, A PURPOSE AND A GOAL
TO BECOME A BRAND OF FORTUNE.

10. UBER:
A TECHNOLOGICAL COMPANY
THAT IS DISRUPTING MOBILITY &

WHILE MAKING IT EASIER
FOR THE CONSUMER.

TIME AND SKILLS FOR MONEY.

15. CORE PURPOSE GOAL

16. TOMS:
PIONEER OF PHILANTHROPIC CAPITALISM.
IT CHANGED THE SHOE INDUSTRY BY GIVING
MORE THAN THE PRODUCT.

19. SO WHAT DO BRANDS, SERVICES,
PRODUCTS,MARKETEERS AND
COMMUNICATION HAVE TO DO
WITH THE A-TEAM?

20. EVERYTHING!
LET ME TELL YOU
WHY.

21. AN ELITE FORCE OF
EXPERTS
IN DIFFERENT FIELDS

22. TO BECOME A BRAND OF FORTUNE
YOU MUST ADAPT

23. WE NEED TO USE TOOLS,(TECHNOLOGY&
INNOVATION),TO MAKE AND TURN
NECESSITY (CUSTOMER JOURNEY), IN TO
A GREAT (BENEFICIAL & DISRUPTIVE)
EXPERIENCE TO PEOPLE.

24. “ I LOVE IT WHEN A
PLAN COMES
TOGETHER”
JOHN HANNIBAL SMITH:
MASTER OF STRATEGY,PLANNING AND DISGUISE.

25. WINSTON CHURCHILL SAID IT BEST.
“PLANNING WITHOUT MEANING
IS MEANING WITHOUT PLANNING”
ALWAYS PLAN WITH YOUR
GOAL IN MIND.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU NEED
A PLAN OF INTENT.
LIST YOUR GOALS, BUT
PREPARE FOR THE
OUTCOMES OF YOUR TARGET.
HENCE PEOPLE’S NEEDS.

26. AS A BRAND OF FORTUNE YOUR GOAL IS BASED ON THE PEOPLE
THAT YOU ARE RELEVANT TO. SO YOU CAN RESONATE AND BE
THE TO GO TO BRAND, PRODUCT OR SERVICE.

27. TEMPLETON “FACE” PECK
MASTER OF RHETORIC
COULD CONVINCE ANYONE TO DO
WHAT THE PLAN DEMANDED.
“WHAT’S THE
PLAN BOSS”

28. WHATEVER YOUR GOAL IS, YOU NEED TO
FIND VALID,TRANSPARENT,COMPELING,
WORTHWHILE ARGUMENTS, BENEFICIAL
TO YOUR AUDIENCE. ONLY THEN WILL
THE BRAND’S VOICE BE RELEVANT AND
RESONATE.

29. HOWLING MAD MURDOCK
MASTER OF AERONAUTICS AND TRANSPORTATIONS
COULD FLY AND DRIVE ANY MECHANIC MACHINE
“ I LOVE THE SMELL OF REVOLUTION IN THE
MORNING... IT SMELLS LIKE HUSHPUPPIES”

30. JUST LIKE H.D. MURDOCK,
YOU HAVE TO BE READY TO FLY OR DRIVE ANY CHANNEL.
BE IT ANALOG, DIGITAL, OR DISRUPTIVE,
BUT ALWAYS WITH THE GOAL IN MIND.
TO EXPAND REACH, ONE MUST CHOOSE THE CHANNELS THAT ARE MORE
RELEVANT TO THE AUDIENCE OF YOUR BRAND, SERVICE OR PRODUCT.

31. B.A. BARACUS:
MASTER OF MECHANICS AND
THE MUSCLE OF THE TEAM
“HANNIBAL THE
MAN IS A FOOL.”

32. THE BRAND’S, SERVICE OR PRODUCT’S
STRENGTH IS ITS BIGGEST ASSET. THE WAY
TO TRANSFORM IT IN TO A BENEFICIAL
NECESSITY TO PEOPLE, IS THE MECHANICS
BEHIND IT.

33. IN TODAY’S MARKETING REALM,
TO ACHIEVE GOALS
COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
THAT’S WHY YOU NEED TO COVER,
DIFFERENT FIELDS MUCH LIKE THE A-TEAM DID.

34. “IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, IF NO ONE ELSE
CAN HELP, AND IF YOU CAN FIND THEM,
MAYBE YOU CAN HIRE THE A-TEAM.”
