Identity
"I am who I am because of everyone" - what a bloody wrong concept of identity.
It shows that the person who made up the slogan can't place boundaries on his own identity - a sign of psychosis.
A person is who they are because of their personality traits, memories, ideas, the sense of self, consciousness, etc. NOT because of external factors or others' identities.
It doesn't take a philosophy professor to understand what identity is.
"A is A"

Nice! I'm gonna make my own journal.

I think the previous comment does, as you say, perhaps read too much into an advertising slogan - I'm not sure the author's psychosis should be under interrogation just yet...
Perhaps the range of subjects the voice relates to 'being' may be a representation of both the versatility of the Orange brand and the reasons consumers buy and use mobile phones?
As you rightly point out - different models and tariffs have their uniquely attractive selling points, recognisable for influencing the reasons we purchase the products.
And as you say again - Orange do provide products for everyone, I would suggest the 'I' of the voice is as much in flux as the ambiguity of the intention.

I am who I am because of everyone around me. Why are we so similar to our parents? During primary socialisation you pick up there personality traits. Memories are created with others, we learn from the experiences of others, you develop as a person because of those around you.

Otherness
But you are not the people around you. Real growth comes from recognising their identity as separate from your own.
We are influenced by countless things, but we are not these things.
It's nice to see people giving recognition to those who helped them on the way, though I'm not sure how this relates to the Orange products.
Previous Anon, have you read *The Nurture Assumption* - it makes for very interesting reading, and takes some of the weight out of what you say - I won't spoil it here though. It's Judith Rich Harris, I think.

I am who I am because of everyone and everything around me (that I can see) but I am only a tiny spot of what I could be if I can see beyond my little box.
