Here is a look into my goals for my personal brand and what I hope to accomplish as I continue on my career journey.

1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Kayla Burgoa
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
September 26, 2023

2. My name is Kayla, I’m 23 years old but have a
rather old soul. I’ve always been told that I’ve
been very mature for my age, and people
always seem surprised by my knowledge of “old”
music. I’m always looking for the history behind
a song or band because I want to know exactly
how it came to be and why. I’m very particular
and precise when I’m interested in something
and have set my mind to a certain goal. I tend to
overthink but it’s always because I want things to
be perfect and always wish to be one step
ahead of the game, I want to know what’s going
to happen so I can be prepared for it.

14. Kayla Burgoa
You know how there are unique sounds and artists that would appeal
to many, but they haven’t found the right audience? Well what I do is
promote them to potential fans that would find them amazing and want
more from them. In fact, I recently attracted a large fan base for an
artist who found my methods to truly work for their brand and personal
mission as an artist.
