For 25 years, Nana Ama McBrown has been a familiar face in Ghanaian homes, winning hearts with her charm, talent, and savvy approach to her career. The celebrated actress and media personality credits her enduring popularity to a mindset that blends warmth with sharp business sense.
In a recent interview with 1957 News, McBrown described herself as both approachable and strategic, explaining that she treats her personal brand like a marketer would handle a prized product.
“I’m lovable. What people forget is that I’m a marketer, and as a marketer, I may not have gone to school for that certificate but I have my knowledge on the street,” she said, highlighting the value of practical experience over formal training.
She views her audience as clients and says the relationships she builds with them are central to her achievements.
“I market a lot of things, so I make sure that I treat my clients well. I see Ghanaians as my clients and I’ve become a family to them as well,” McBrown explained.
Her philosophy extends to every encounter, even brief ones on the street. She makes it a point to smile and engage with people because their continued support fuels both her career and the brands she represents.
“Some people think when a customer patronizes you and they’re gone, that’s all. Even when I meet you anywhere, I would always be smiling at them because I want their attention.
“Since I work with many brands, I know you have definitely bought something from even one of the brands, so whether you like me or not, I see you as my customer,” she shared.
Looking back on her quarter-century on television, McBrown expressed gratitude for the loyalty of Ghanaians, who she says have played a pivotal role in her success.
“It’s been 25 years on TV and I know that one way or the other, you’ve seen me somewhere or I’ve made you smile one day. So I feel I can’t take Ghanaians for granted. I feel my progress and my success are all from you,” she said.
She also stressed that fame does not place anyone above others.
“You’re a musician, or being on TV doesn’t mean you’re more important than someone,” Nana Ama McBrown further stated.
