Personal brand plan

Brand Position

From a Toronto-Latino optical, showcase the adventures in fashion, lifestyle and culture within this beautiful mosaic, in both English and Spanish.

• In the midst of this place, is where I tell my story.

Sizzling…

• When I refer to a Latino perspective, its not THIS (view poster)

• Yes, we Latinos dance salsa, but the entire identity is not solely based on this. (By the way, I love this movie)

Fostering a positive space and image of Latinos in social media. Creating a movement but from a Canadian standpoint.

GOAL

Be a cross-cultural bridge that Canadian and Hispanic people use to connect with Toronto’s colourful character.

Strategy

RATIONAL:-The Latino population in Toronto and

Canada is growing at a high rate. Many new immigrants do not speak English and feel isolated from the city’s dynamic

-Language barriers causes a lack of understanding and many wonderful thoughts, ideas and creative outlets can be overseen.

My target market: young, urban, technological savvy, curious English and Spanish generation that live in Toronto and the GTA. I expose to them my findings of fashion, culture, events and different lifestyles in both languages.

Various tactics include:-after each blog post, I will post on twitter with as many hash tags as I can possibly fit in 140 characters-Tagging is the name of the game (each blog post will be tagged out)-Am currently partnering up with fellow bloggers to be a contributor on their blogs. I will write on walls if need be.-Networking is crucial for it a provides a platform to share your story with others. Building community awareness of your story can only be achieved through complete immersion into different digital communities. Each channel previously mentioned will be utilized, plus any others.-Attending events such as #genyTo , Third Tuesdays, and countless social media events that cater to like-minded people.
