Why personal branding matters
• In print you are a faceless byline.

• On the net you are what you share: your
  images, your stories, your videos, your
  resume, your profiles, your comments,
  your status updates, your tweets, your
  favourite books, music, movies, links, your
  bookmarks.
• If you identify yourself as an employee of
  The Star, you are already a brand
  ambassador for the company

“The art of marketing is the art of brand-
building. If you are not a brand, you are
a commodity. Then price is everything
and the low-cost producer is the only
winner.”
                Philip Kotler, marketing guru

“I wanted the campaign
             to be very bold, very
             sensual and very
             atmospheric. To carry off
             all these references and
             all this sophistication,
             we needed the ultimate
             performer, and for me,
             that was Madonna,”
                 Louis Vuitton designer
                           Marc Jacobs

Lessons from Obama 08

• Fish where the fish are
• Be transparent and authentic
• Your constituents, fans, followers, readers,
  viewers, observers expect you to react to
  their feedback
• A little shameless self-plugging can go a
  long way
• Show up and engage with them in real life
