Business History: Immigrant entrepreneurs on world successful brands
This document analyzes successful global brands created by immigrant entrepreneurs. Preliminary data analysis found that of the top 500 most valuable brands in the world, 500 brands from 33 countries were founded or co-founded by immigrants. These brands generated over $4.25 trillion in combined revenue. The United States alone accounted for 178 of the top 500 brands and over $1.7 trillion generated by companies founded solely by immigrants. The findings provide an initial look at industries, regions, and characteristics of brands successful created by immigrant entrepreneurs around the world. Further analysis will explore relationships between these variables to better understand the impact of immigrant entrepreneurship.

The Value & Benefit of Regional Cooperation -Bob McCarthy
The document discusses the Cruise Islands of the North Atlantic (CINA) project. CINA aims to establish the North Atlantic region as an international cruise destination brand on par with other popular regions. It originated from discussions in 2005-2006 and was officially launched in 2009. The goal is for the North Atlantic countries to work together regionally to attract more cruise vessels and passengers by highlighting the region's unique characteristics. Regional cooperation is valued as it allows the areas to expand their market potential and work in harmony for better results than competing individually.

To build lasting instituitons..
Olorgesailie, located in Kenya, was the site of the earliest and longest-running manufacturing activity for stone tools, lasting approximately 1 million years. Tools were made in large quantities and specific areas were designated for tool production and sharpening. This organized site functioned as an early factory for over a million years, demonstrating the ability of early humans to establish long-lasting institutions. Religions and cultural practices like music traditions have endured for thousands of years, while modern institutions in India such as government organizations and universities are relatively new, only a few hundred years old. For companies to truly qualify as institutions, they must not only have existed for a long period of time but also continue making an impact in the future

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And Social
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

Neon42 - Case study Freedom Finance
- 1. CASE STUDY - FREEDOM FINANCE
- 2. THE QUOTE ‘Greed is Good’ Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) ‘Wall Street’ -1987
- 3. THE AMBITION Freedom Finance Investment Company (Russian: ИК «Фридом-Финанс») is a Russian investment company that is a part of Freedom Holdings (Nevada, USA). The company was founded in 2008 by Timur Turlov. The company is engaged in broker, dealer and depository operations. After many years of great success in Russia, also disrupting the promising Kazakhstan market, Freedom Finance was building further to continue to provide access to international markets, such as the US markets and stock exchange. The company was experiencing a very challenging transition period with a listing to the NYSE and NASDAQ, the development of a bank and an insurance, while sustaining current activities with great accuracy.
- 4. THE INSPIRATION It would have been easy to reinforce our brand Freedom Finance through impressive knowledge and fighting spirit, backed up with a high professional team, to conquer the world (and US in particular) But, if you want to get far, you have to get back to your roots. We explored back Freedom Finance foundations to reshape the brand eco-system and extract what would be the most appropriate to an ambitious financial company to propose to a changing market - bringing fresh perspective and answering new expectations of investors around the world.
- 5. THE PLOT We launched a serie of exploration tools to understand how to bring the brand Freedom Finance to a new level (deep-dive exploration with clients in different countries, staff discussions, trends spotting…) And we had the pleasure to run a very intense workshop, gathering more than 35 international managers from Freedom Finance, held in Moscow, defining the brand through its narrative, its articulation and assessing the complex architecture of the company. Freedom Finance becomes a financial company that reinvents the freedom of making lifestyle decisions, considering the world changes and dynamics.
- 6. THE BOX OFFICE - A totally different brand approach - from architecture to brand complete articulation (positioning, purpose…) - A new communication/content strategy with international guidelines - An optimized ecosystem with the new launched activities such as the bank, the life insurance... - A communication modelization between all the countries and entities (e.g. in Germany) Building a financial brand that is grounded into people’s lifestyle and giving the knowledge of a fast-changing world.
- 7. THE REVIEWS We’ve asked Franck to re-build our brand and its positioning. Almost ten years after the foundation of the company, we came to the point when getting to a new stage of our development required a new ideology (...). The team grew to 800 people, number of clients almost achieved 100 thousand and, more important, we were at the stage of becoming a multinational public corporation, listed on US stock market. We then needed consistent answers to our questions: “Who we are?”, “What’s our vision?”, “What is the value we bring?” and also “How do we do that?”, transparently packed within one strong brand platform across all our businesses and regions (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan). Franck’s strategic approach made us succeed in this challenge across all the countries. And he helped us to define our key word “freedom”, in relation to the core values of our business. It was a quite challenging task, but Franck’s team managed to meet our demanding expectations. Sergey Skripnikov, Chief Marketing Officer, Freedom Finance
