Get out of the personal brand or company brand mindset and make sure your own online image & identity is controlled by you.
Check out the article (link below), by the team at Mashable, about why your personal brand is so important – especially to your career.
As part of our brand consulting practice we talk to clients about online identity management (from business, to personal, to establishing their children’s online reputation) often. The practice of online reputation management is equally important to a personal brand or a company brand & we make it a point to make a distinction between each. Coming across this article was refreshing as it good to see the big firms are thinking about the same things we are.
Everyone should have their online reputation under their own control – to the full degree of possibility. You hear stories about business being destroyed by a bad review (on 1 site), well although less public, this is an even bigger problem if it hits on a personal level.
We dont often consider our own online reputation. There is often talk of deciding on a personal or company brand in terms of “branding” a business or product.
