David Ogilvy…
Determine what you want SAY, and then everything you DO should SAY IT
Your brand is the identity, culture, perception and essence of your organisation/firm. It is the sum of parts and totality of what you promise and deliver to your clients.!!You are your own brand. Maybe you should think more about building on it…!
