Oftentimes, when clients think about brand development they get caught up in the "fun part" of the process: logo, website theme, social media accounts, etc. The problem is that if you only focus on the "easy stuff" and don't put enough energy into the "hard part" of your brand development process you will not see the returns on your investment of time, energy, and money!

Twitter is one of the longest-lasting and prolific social media platforms to date! Twitter has been the favorite media outlet of past presidents and helped to spark a revolution in the middle east in 2010.

Episode 6: It’s ALL About Facebook

Facebook is the largest social media platform on the planet with reach which is not just a global audience but with reach into VR technology and video chat! Facebook also owns what is probably the most popular social media platform - Instagram, which boasts a gigantic following of its own.

Facebook is still very relevant in digital marketing and brand development and as the company develops more and newer tools for users disposal, Facebook will still be a place where a high percentage of the public will go to hang out and digest news and views.

In this weeks episode I discuss:

- Facebook as a platform and what makes it different

- Facebook organic promotion vs paid promotion

- Faceook LIVE

- Facebook groups for closed user engagement and recruitment.

Episode 5: No Social Media Golden Ticket

I see A LOT of clamor online about How To Grow Your Social Media Following in easy, fast, and cheap ways! Unfortunately, there is no golden ticket or magic bullet for gaining an authentic social media following and furthermore, I would add that it is not that important.

In this episode, I talk about the pitfalls of trying to attract an audience, any audience, without context. Why you shouldn't pay for followers and a couple of things that you CAN DO to improve your social media following in a smart and decisive way.

Episode 4: Naming Your Brand Part 3

It’s time to make your brand real online! URL addresses and social media handles!

Episode 3: Naming Your Brand Part 2 of 3

Sometimes, particularly in Personal Brand development - YOU are the brand - product or service you are promoting!
Particularly in fields that require intellectual acumen and accreditation: Counseling, practicing law, performing arts, clients will seek you out for your individual abilities and talents. In cases like this, it's YOUR personal qualities that should be infused in the brand name. 

In EPISODE 3 I will give you a couple of points of perspective to consider:

1. USING YOUR ACTUAL LAST NAME: Sometimes if your "last name" is hard to spell or remember, it might not be a good fit for a brand.

2. THINKING ABOUT PERSONALITY: Do you have a personality that "rubs people the wrong way"? You might want the brand to be apart from yourself. 

3. TRANSFERABILITY: Is your brand something that you want to multiple or franchise? You might want to consider not naming the brand after yourself if you have plans of growing the brand outside of your individual abilities.
