Alexei Orlov on beginning MTM Choice Worldwide, “To be honest, I have been talking about the “moments that matter” for about five years now. In fact, I always say to clients who listen: “If it does not matter to those who matter for your business, then it will not matter, and nor will your business.” The choice is the reward, and people like us will talk about us and recommend us. The certain and defining proof is whether they choose your business above and beyond others. And so MTM Choice became our name to remind us that everything we do must have profound relevance for a changing world and marketplace.
Alexei Orlow on succeeding as an entrepreneur, “Don’t gather people who are as good as you, find people who are better and nourish them. And never make assumptions.
The founder of MTM Choice Worldwide’s main strategy that has helped him grow his business, “Not just identifying a market opportunity, but seeing how we could be a great practitioner within it to make a difference. I know what I want to achieve, but I leave room to pivot. From directions in strategy to financing the operations to building my exceptional team, I have allowed myself to step up, step down, sprint, walk and sometimes stop to make fundamental turns that whilst very difficult at times were absolutely required. That means accepting that I don’t always get it right, but also not allowing myself to be whimsical. There are lives and reputations at stake in every business. In the absence of a plan that makes you feel resolved, pause just a while longer.”
Alexei believes in nurturing and allowing qualified talent the ability to thrive in the best environment possible. He believes that the ability to participate in a profit plan is the best way to jeep the talent you want. Smart, capable people need to be engaged beyond just their work. Orlov has always felt that attracting talent and allowing them to participate in the planning and thinking of the wider enterprise is more than just democracy in action especially if they bring different and valuable perspectives to the table.
Alexei Orlov has sewn together an incredible professional life of success and progress spanning several decades and across many continents. MTM Choice Worldwide continues on a trajectory of innovative success and it will be very interesting to see how Orlov’s work will shift the marketing and brand management landscapes in the years to follow.
