4. Rule # 1 Brand building takes time.
It’s expensive because it needs repeated exposure.
You need to reach as many people even if they’re not ready to
engage with you.
So, be in it for the long game.
5. Rule # 2 Brand building needs balance
Personal Brands should strike a balance between short term and
long-term activity.

People already exposed and attracted to your brand.
Limited scope to influence, but the effects are
immediate.
60%
40%
60% Future employers, Media, Start-up
People not exposed to your brand, but crucial for
future. Targeting this group will result in the
biggest paybacks, relatively expensive to reach.

A simple and effective formula for structuring your
response: present, past, future.
•Present: Talk a little bit about what your current
role is, the scope of it, and perhaps a big recent
accomplishment.
•Past: Tell the interviewer how you got there and/or
mention previous experience that’s relevant to the
job and company you’re applying for.
•Future: Segue into what you’re looking to do next
and why you’re interested in this gig (and a great fit
for it, too).
