On Brand with Donny Deutsch

by Donny Deutsch

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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Donny I always appreciate your commentary and expertise. My issue is you plow through your “Brand Up/Brand Down” show as if you can’t wait to be done with it fast enough. It’s not necessary, podcasts are not under strict time constraints, so why the rush? Please slow down, enunciate, and speak more clearly. Pause and let the listener absorb your analysis. Donny, please slow down. You know you stuff, however that professionalism is not reflected in your podcast delivery. I doubt you would accept that in any advertising from your clients. We shouldn’t have to either, and it’s an easy fix if you simply take your time and sound like you really want to do the BU/BD segment, rather than sounding like it’s a chore before you can move on to what you really want to be doing. Everyone mid-speaks from time to time, but your mad rush to get the through your show causes a lot of unforced errors. You’re better than that. If you’re going to do the podcast, be present, do it right, or don’t do it at all. You’re not presenting as well and you can and should be. If you ever happen to read this thanks for your consideration. With respect from a fan.

Mario Bagnoni · Aug 2024

Donny has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. It’s smart and get straight to the point! There are so many podcasts that just meander and Donny keeps it clear and concise.

osuJeff · Feb 2024

I listen every week both Tuesdays and Thursdays and long before the split, so you can say I am a loyal listener. I also like to watch Donny on Morning Joe and I watched him when he had his own show on MSNBC. I couldn’t wait to listen to the Eugene Robinson episode because he is so intelligent and I also like watching him as well whenever he is on MSNBC. Unfortunately, I found this episode very disappointing. Not because of the guest, Eugene was excellent and could have been even better, if Donny would have stopped interrupting him and talking over him. It made for miserable listening since I wanted to listen to Eugene’s story about his family but Donny kept interrupting. Eugene isn’t the fastest talker and it seemed like Donny couldn’t wait for Eugene to make his point so Donny kept interrupting. Very rude behavior that I haven’t noticed before. I will definitely be listening closer for this behavior in the dilutive and if it continues, I will not continue to listen.

Pattieatte · Apr 2023

I’ve been a fan of Donny’s for years. His interviews are fun, lighthearted and full of great info. His guest list is second to none and his “Brands of the Week” episodes are a quality listen, as well.
