Everything is a brand. In today’s world companies, public figures, countries, institutions, and movements are brands with their own unique values, marketing, and influence. Former CEO and Chairman of Deutsch Inc., innovative political analyst and veteran TV personality, Donny Deutsch, mastered the power of branding when he built the multibillion dollar ad agency. Now, in a hyper-saturated, over-marketed world, our media landscape too often presents one-dimensional figures who are globally seen, and yet not truly known. Where the notion “perception is reality” feels truer each day, join Donny as he peels back the layers of the images we see, to understand the depths of the people who are changing our world. You won’t want to miss Donny’s candid conversations with global experts and the biggest names across entertainment, business, media, politics and more to better understand the “brands” of the moment and examine where politics, current events, and pop culture converge.

Staceylih ,

Fabulous and thoughtful

Like said by someone else, always appreciated you (on morning joe) but now even more for the thoughtfulness and voice you are giving the hostages and the “fake news” propaganda so dangerous to our people. Your empathy for the Palestinian civilians and children also help continue to encourage our humanity- which is always good to remember. We are a people who always wish for peace - so hopefully one day we will find it in earnest.
