Building a personal brand is one thing. And creating a positive culture around a brand is an essential element that entrepreneurs and employers should keep in mind when gathering their marketing teams. In addition, the salary standards have risen, and employees have many more opportunities than before. And that has become quite challenging for employers. But building a culture around a brand is not reflected through higher salaries. If employees, especially the so-called A-players, are surrounded by a toxic work environment, they’ll soon find a place with a positive work atmosphere and other A-players.
Personal branding continues to be a big topic in 2022, and anyone aspiring to grow professionally should consider building a personal brand. But few companies see the value that personal branding could bring to their specific business. Therefore, it is the job of marketing professionals, especially those who have already built an extensive community on channels, such as LinkedIn, to spread the word about personal branding and educate business owners about its importance.
The term “personal brand” certainly has many definitions. And every marketer has a different perspective on what building a personal brand should look like. While some define it as the way you promote yourself, others describe it as a combination of a person’s interests, beliefs, and skills. But one thing is certain — a personal brand is about who we are and how we manage ourselves in front of people. Building a personal brand is often associated with a social media presence and many question whether it can help us achieve our goals or make it more difficult.
It’s no secret that having a strong personal brand can get you places in business. And we’ve all seen endless examples of thought leaders and influencers landing their dream jobs because of their online reputation (we even have one of them with us today). But did you know that there are companies that encourage their employees to build personal brands and share their expertise with the world?
Every experienced content creator who shares their content on LinkedIn would probably agree that posting frequently is key to success. But, what happens when your activity is so high that it awakens suspicions and amounts to a violation of the platform’s terms and conditions. In this episode of Rep Your Brand, Camille Trent joins our host Nick Bennett to share what it was like to be suspended on LinkedIn, why she was banned, and how she managed to recover her account.
