What WWE and Building a Brand have in Common: StoryTelling

Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• How to Grow a Your Brand on Social Media in 2027

  In the publisher’s account of his conversation with the founders of fashion label Nude Project, Vaynerchuk raises their concern about overexposure alongside live shopping and discoverability. Seeing the same campaign repeatedly inside the company can make a collection feel familiar before a prospective customer even knows it exists.

• Alternative Sports’ Future Rise and What It Means to Everyone

  Vaynerchuk connects the growth of emerging sports to the experience of their earliest fans. The notes name two ways into a league, an individual athlete’s personality and attachment to a team. Those entry points call for different introductions even when they lead to the same match.

• Document, Don’t Create: Creating Content That Builds Your Personal Brand

  Vaynerchuk proposes documenting work in progress as an alternative starting point for someone stuck trying to invent a polished persona. The useful material is a decision or lesson that really occurred. An ordinary workday also contains private details and unfinished judgments that an editor should leave out.
