A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.
Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room
Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me, Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.
Branding is the art of becoming knowable, likable and trustable.
Branding is the process of connecting good strategy with good creativity.
Products are made in the factory, but brands are created in the mind.
A great brand is a story that never stops unfolding.
Authentic brands don't emerge from marketing cubicles or advertising agencies. They emanate from everything the company does.
Branding is nothing but knowing who you are and what you do that makes you stand out from everyone else, then communicating that through your marketing efforts. Branding is discovering your uniqueness and learning to exploit it.
Branding is not about what something says or what it means, but how it makes us feel.
Branding is simply a more efficient way to sell things.
Branding adds spirit and a soul to what would otherwise be a robotic, automated, generic price-value proposition. If branding is ultimately about the creation of human meaning, it follows logically that it is the humans who must ultimately provide it.
Branding is everything - and I mean everything.
A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stores and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another.

You too are a brand. Whether you know it or not. Whether you like it or not.

Personal branding is about managing your name - even if you don't own a business - in a world of misinformation, disinformation, and semi-permanent Google records. Going on a date? Chances are that your "blind" date has Googled your name. Going to a job interview? Ditto.
If you want to build a brand, you must focus your branding efforts on owning a word in the prospect's mind. A word that nobody else owns.
It's important to build a personal brand because it's the only thing you're going to have. Your reputation online, and in the new business world is pretty much the game, so you've got to be a good person. You can't hide anything, and more importantly, you've got to be out there at some level.
