Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, film producer, and screenwriter, currently most well-known for producing, writing, and starring in the movie Deadpool. At age 43 Ryan Reynolds has not only pursued a career in acting and become extremely successful but has also become the owner of a company, originally started in 2006, called Aviation Gin. Having been a longtime fan of this product he reached out to the company expressing interest in buying it and since then it has become a huge part of his life.
Combining his lifelong love for marketing (and his love for gin), he decided to venture beyond acting to create something unique and of the highest quality for consumers. Since buying the company, Aviation Gin has doubled in size and grown significantly in popularity. Through this endeavor he has been able to fulfil his business passion in a product he truly believes in.
Aviation Gin has become immensely successful in the last few years and continues to spread to a larger audience. One of Ryan’s close friends and colleagues, Hugh Jackman, has participated in the marketing strategies by appearing in numerous adds. Hugh Jackman has his own company called Laughing Man Coffee, and the two of them collaborate producing comedic publicity for each other resulting in adds which in themselves are a form of entertainment. Using a well-crafted aesthetic and creative publicity, Ryan Reynolds has created a business that is both personal and purposeful in every aspect of his brand.
I’d never heard of Ryan Reynold’s gin company but that’s super cool! It is interesting how he used his platform as someone with influence to craft and promote a company he believed in and wanted to see in the world. I think it is also a good example of how entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be huge-scale “world-changing” but can simply be putting something good out into the world that you are proud of.
I never knew that Ryan Reynolds had a gin company! This is a great example about how anyone can be an entrepreneur, and that everyone is an entrepreneur. You don’t have to be a business major or an entrepreneurship major to open a business. You can be an actor or have any other type of day job but all you need is to find something that you are passionate about. What a great message!
I was never informed that Ryan Reynolds had a gin company. It is very surprising to me that he is successful when he probably has a very busy schedule as an actor. What a great entrepreneur. #Deadpool
I had no idea that Ryan Reynolds had a gin company, it’s crazy that we have no clue about many things in actors lives. With having money like that a smart person would invest. That’s exactly what this is right here, amazing that with a passion for something can birth a great venture in somebody’s life.
