Starting a new brand from scratch might sound like a dream to some marketers and a nightmare to others. But it is exactly what Sherry Graziano was tasked with when she signed on as head of digital, client experiences, and marketing at Truist Bank back in 2019, right as the company was formed from a merger between BB&T and SunTrust Banks. She joined On Scope host Mike Berberich to discuss how she tackled the challenge head on, capitalizing on the opportunity to shape a new brand in her vision. The pair discussed the advantages of disadvantages of launching a brand from zero, how Sherry approached imbuing the new Truist brand through every customer touchpoint, how her team was able to pivot when the pandemic happened just before launch, and Sherry’s tips for managing the emotions and discomfort that came from the massive change of merging two already existing organizations.  On “This Week in ANA Magazine,” editor Matthew Schwartz joined the show to spotlight a new story on the new media landscape, which is being driven by the rise of news influencers and is changing how people — and particularly young people — engage with content in general. This new reality is forcing brands to lean into more weird content and a trend called “unhinged marketing.” In light of this new trend, Mike and show producer Ryan Dinger discussed some of their favorite examples of unhinged marketing. Learn more about the ANA’s on-demand, self-paced Brand-Building Certificate Program and sign up by visiting www.ana.net/brandcertificate. The On Scope team would love to hear from you!

Jeff Bezos BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Jeff Bezos has dominated headlines again this May with a whirlwind of business moves, public appearances, and, yes, more pre-wedding buzz. The most significant financial development is that, as reported by Newsweek, Bezos could be selling up to 25 million Amazon shares over the next year, a move that could have wide-ranging implications for Amazon’s market value and Bezos’ own $209 billion net worth. This comes as Amazon faces political scrutiny after the White House pressured the company to drop plans for tariff cost transparency, highlighting Amazon’s ever-present role in the U.S. political landscape.In the EV world, Bezos’ bet on Slate Auto is already making waves. The Driven confirmed that the Bezos-backed startup launched its $20,000 electric truck and racked up more than 100,000 refundable reservations in just two weeks, putting pressure on Tesla and signaling that Bezos is still eager to disrupt markets from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Bezos continues to ramp up his AI investments, with recent stakes in companies like Swiss-Mile, Figure AI, Finch AI, and caregiver startup Magnolia, underlining his ongoing drive to shape the future of artificial intelligence—a focus to which he reportedly devotes up to 95 percent of his time according to comments at the DealBook Summit last December, as noted by the Jeff Bezos Living Bio podcast.Socially and politically, Bezos’ relationship with former President Donald Trump has taken a surprising turn. Axios and the Washington Examiner reported that the two dined together in February, just as Bezos announced editorial changes for the Washington Post aimed at promoting “free markets and personal liberties.” Trump praised Bezos as “a good guy,” signaling a new alliance after years of animosity—a move that has ruffled feathers in both the media and among activists, with Whole Foods protests in Baltimore calling out Bezos’ political pivot.On the personal front, wedding preparations for Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are finally materializing. According to Puck News and Page Six, invitations have gone out for a high-society nuptial celebration in Venice, Italy, from June 24th to 26th. Universal Aviation Italy is bracing for the influx of guests and private jets as one of the most anticipated events of the season unfolds aboard Bezos’ 127-meter yacht. Meanwhile, philanthropy remains on his agenda: the Bezos Learning Center at the Smithsonian is moving forward with construction, thanks to his $200 million donation. For all the drama and deal-making, Bezos continues to post occasional glimpses of his ventures and personal life to his nearly 4 million Instagram followers, helping cement his place as one of the world’s most influential—and closely watched—business figures.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
