He went to an organization who hasn't won a playoff game since Jan 1992 so I doubt he considered the opportunity to "grow his brand" as the difference maker. Winning is a great way to grow your brand. I doubt there was any mad rush to run out and buy Marvin Jones jerseys, and I have yet to see him in any advertising spot.
That's funny, because he and his agent both said he wanted to go to Detroit to grow his brand. Now, being a #1 has a lot to do with it, but the ancillaries were also attractive and played a part in his decision.
