Case Study: HOW I EXECUTED INTEGRATED CORPORATE BRANDING CAMPAIGNS

ROB STEVEN WILLIAMS

This is a real-life case study featuring two examples of “How I Executed Integrated Corporate Branding Campaigns with Celebrities, Athletes, Musicians, & Influencers” when you have a limited budget, or the brand does not have mass notoriety, or the product is not that well known or might be a global brand but in a niche market. These elements are key when you have a limited talent budget, and you are going in to negotiate. You also must have a diverse and wide network of contacts in your field, have and continue growing your friendships, and have influence with your peers.

Here are five things about me.
1) I owned the first gaming console (Atari 2600), yeah, I was a gamer in 1980. You ever hear of pong? Pac Man, or Asteroids? Ok seriously?
2) I am a digital junky, with a love for music, marketing, and art. I started my professional career as a musician, moved out to Los Angeles in 1988 to further my percussion studies, and career, and be a part of music and traditional entertainment. While I pursued music, performing locally, and recording in Hollywood, I landed a role as a featured drummer in the movie The Borrower, B-horror film, starring Rae Dawn Chong (https://tinyurl.com/43pusrp4).
3) I fell in love with the internet v.1111 in 1994, learned HTML and Photoshop, created one of the first online music magazines, and founded a digital creative agency in 1996 when not many people had email, or knew how to register a URL on the World Wide Web.
4) I obsess over customers, work vigorously to earn, and keep customer trust, aligning this data with product development. I pay attention to trends, and competitors. I think and create BIG, communicate a bold direction that inspires, raising the bar and drive teams to deliver high quality products, services, processes, and never settling.
5) I pinch myself everyday because, “I do what I do for a living”. Business, people, marketing, music, art, bitcoin, NFTs, paddle boarding, sunrises, and sunsets are my passion.
