Branding
Versailles Breakfast Club As A Brand
How Can Branding Work For You
Branding improves your luck
Personal Brand
-Last Week Carly, a Columbia Univ. graduate, setup a phone meeting for me to help and advise her on finding a job in New York.
-Worked for Burberry and Times Inc., and never established herself or build a network.
-Today in order to build your branding personality you must establish a network in your community by:
-Personal Website
-Blog
-Social Media
• LinkedIn (build a professional profile, create relationships, join groups & clubs(Versailles))
• Twitter (tweet 3 times a day, RT, respond to DT coming in)
• Facebook (Setup a personal page, add pictures, videos, links, etc., Build a business page and link it to your personal page)

Human personality traits (seriousness, warmth, imagination, etc.) to achieve differentiation.
Usually through long-term, above-the-line advertising and packaging.
These traits reflect the brand through prepared communication and through the people who represent the brand: its employees.
What Is A Brand?
In A Way, A Brand Is A Promise.
It “promises” a certain level of quality, consistency, service, experience, price, etc., etc., etc.
Sometimes A Spokesman Is The Brand.
