When talking about purchasing cars, people might imagine being inside a block-shaped building with parked cars inside, a well-dressed salesman holding a bunch of papers and the smell of a newly opened car scent. But, in Brandon Medford’s vision, this will all be digital.
On Friday, August 12th, at a VIP Event at the 40/40 Club, Brandon Medford announced the opening of the Brandon Medford Sales Academy and his all-digital car buying platform ‘Generation Drive”. Both will be launched at an event called “CulturePreneur,” which will take place at the Brooklyn Chop House in Times Square. The event will have some of the most notable names in today’s culture, such as; Eric Thomas, DJ Envy and Earn Your Leisure, amongst others.
The event at the 40/40 Club was a commemoration of Brandon’s expansion and his continuous drive to pursue breaking barriers and creating new prospects. The attendees included media, socialites, public figures, influencers, music executives and entrepreneurs. When asked about the Sales Academy’s goal, Brandon said it’s “To inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders.”
Born and raised in New York City, Brandon Medford is not new to Entrepreneurial opportunities and Philanthropy. He earned his Finance degree from Baruch College. He became a Finance Director for Honda before founding PTG 365 (Prices Too Good 365 Days A Year) with some of his friends. One of the country’s most prominent auto brokering companies, their approach to the auto brokering industry is very much digital. They receive a message/order through their social media accounts and finalize the deal there. After that process, they deliver any make and model directly to the client’s door, removing the middleman method and delivering cars directly to the buyer. Due to the unorthodox approach to selling cars, they made clientele from all walks of life and sold 3,000 cars in 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak. His portfolio of clients includes; Kanye West, 50 Cent, T.I, Lil Durk, Mulatto, Rich the Kid & Gucci Mane, to name a few.
Despite the fast progress of the company, PTG 365, at its core, still gives back to the community. For example, they made it possible for low-income families and everyone to buy a car regardless of socio-economic status or credit standing. During an interview with the Social Proof Podcast, Brandon explained how helping clients with low credit standing get a new car by providing them with a systematic payment plan builds more clientele. The company also had its TV Show called Driven, exclusive to Snapchat’s Snap Originals.
Also a co-founder of a company called Dealer Innovations, Brandon is one of the leading figures in the new wave of creative entrepreneurship and a motivational speaker. He believes that his calling is to teach young people to find themselves. “Be the best you can be no matter what field you’re in,” Medford said in his mini autobiography. He continues to inspire his fellow Entrepreneurs, and his ventures are a pillar for those who want to start working in the auto brokering industry.
He’s active on social media and has his website.
