it’s so generic I honestly assumed it was just a placeholder for whatever they plan to put there until OP provided context 

It's so unfinished. I would think it was a work in progress with "The Brand" standing in for what the slogan was actually going to be except for that super cringe dictionary pronunciation key for "brand" underneath. This is HS project level marketing and that might be an insult to decent HS students.

Like they are so desperate they are trying to sell this bullshit FO to incoming draft picks with popular young people slogans. Really sad. "Be an influencer on the field guys!!" prob the next one

Brand??.....fuggin joke is what it is.

So they’re branding themselves as “The Brand” “The most competitive team in football” 10-23 in the last 2 years. No QB. Awww yeah.

Dear lord, who is this marketing team of ours? Social media has been good but marketing is like parody level, generic early 00s.

im so confused to why I should be mad at a marketing team....

The video wasn't put out by the marketing team. It was taken by one of the prospects who came in for a pre-draft visit.

This makes me realize we likely don’t want to see uni/logo redesign. It may be Commanders-level generic.

Social media not even good anymore, that was good 3-5 years ago before they lost people

I feel like used cars may be too high level for Rhule. 

He’s more of a hot tub/pool table store sales type off Independence Blvd.

I get it.  Keep Pounding was outdated.....it no longer was appropriate image for this team. They should have changed it to Start Pounding.

Or as my high school baseball coach would yell at us 45 years ago, Act Like You've Done This Before.

Ups and downs is one thing, but a total generic rebranding of the entire team with these jokes in control is hard to sit through. 

[Killah_Ray]

The brand actually makes me think of Pat McAfee…

I mean if you're looking for a more appropriate slogan for this version of the team, "start winning" works.

If it's a slogan that's specifically meant for Matt Rhule or David Tepper though, I'd go with "kick rocks".

(or something in a similar vein)

Imagine an established vet walking in and seeing this garbage, talking to Rhule and not immediately walking out thinking fug no
