The process of creating a relationship or a connection between a company's product and emotional perception of
the customer for the purpose of generation segregation among
competition and building loyalty among customers
Tangible elements of brand management include the product
itself; look, price, the packaging, etc. The intangible elements are the
experience that the consumer takes away from the brand, and also the
relationship that they have with that brand
BRANDED!What's a brand really?

It isn’t just about getting noticed, published, and “known.” This isn’t
about being Yvonne Nelson at all. It’s about being yourself and managing
how people perceive you.
You can use the digital world to express your brand and stay
connected with others, with no intention of fame or fortune. I look at the behavior of my two kids. Neither one has any intention of fame. But
they use social media as a vehicle to express what’s important to them and
to connect with their network of friends.
BRANDED!What's a brand really?

1. What are you trying to accomplish? A question you should ask yourself multiple times throughout the day.
2. What’s your value proposition? What can you do that will add more value than someone else?
3. How are you packaging yourself? From how you dress, to the role you play with your industry.
4. Who are your competitors? Knowing your competition is a must if you’re going to be able to effectively differentiate yourself.
Ask Yourself

5. What’s your brand promise? What do you want to stand for? What is it that you say you’ll do?
6. What’s your tone and manner? People make snap judgments based on how you present your ideas and respond to situations.
7. Is your brand strategy working? A question you should be asking more than once a year. Look to feedback from 360, quarterly and/or annual reviews. Pay attention to verbal and non-verbal cues.
Ask Yourself

Perception is reality, always remember
Do you know people are saying about your brand? Are you taking steps to
build, polish, and refine it? The key is to remember that your brand is more than just your job; it is
your career. It is what YOU are to the world.
