#StartUpScaleUp @JumpstartInc @CLE_Mom @Advance_Ohio
Branding is based in authenticity.
It’s not spin. It’s not packaging. It’s not about creating a false image for the outside world.
You need to know yourself to build your brand. That means you
must get clear on your goals, values, passions, mission, strengths, differentiation and attributes.

What is your unique promise of value?
• This is the promise you make to your target market that your (personal) brand will fulfill.
• It clarifies and communicates what makes you special.
• You must be able to live up to this promise

What is a personal brand story?
A personal brand story is a short pitch that communicates your value(what you are the best at), your audience (who you serve), and your promise (how you perform your value uniquely).

#Early Adopter
The Early Adopter would be the first ones trying out new things available. They are best suited for brands that are launching a new product or technology. Let them in on the new idea and they will be the people most excited about trying it out and sharing it with the world. Early Adopters will be able to create hype and conversations about any new product or introduction.

#Thought Leaders
People look to thought leaders to help them understand about new developments in their specific industries, as their deep understanding of their fields translate into authority and credibility valued by customers. Thought Leaders would make the best ambassador of a brand, and are easily spotted as they are the key people who can create many conversations about a particular topic.

#Celebrity
Celebrity influencers are the height of influence – the go-to when you need your product or campaign to become popular. They are very popular with a large following due to their fan bases. They are admired by the masses and can be very influential without even trying. Although they can get pretty expensive to engage, massive publicity is guaranteed.It is helpful to keep local celebrities in mind, too., they do have the advantage of being more relatable to local audiences. It is also a bonus if they have authority in a niche area. Celebrities are also well-covered in the media, which could have a larger ripple effect of influence.

#Expert
The expert may not have the popularity of celebrities, but he or she represents a specialist with credentials in a particular field, topic or industry – and therefore his or her opinions are second to none. Thus as an influencer, he can help you to achieve expert validation for the value proposition your brand wants to communicate. If you want to convince people that your product is necessary, you would want the expert to agree with you.

The Everyday User is your regular customer, or the citizen influencers that have amassed a significant online following. Although they may not have outreach strength comparable to the other influencer types, their network remains equally important to have.

SAMPLE EMAIL PITCH
#StartUpScaleUp @JumpstartInc @amandasubler
Subject: What if small businesses & entrepreneurs are launching their business wrong?
Hi Harry-
I have a story idea that I believe would interest your small business readers.
The majority of small businesses and entrepreneurs fail. What if that was because they are launching
and growing their business all wrong? What if there was a less risky way?
Joe Pulizzi- an entrepreneur himself- has created a new 6 step Content Inc. business model that's
worked for him- and countless other multi-million dollar entrepreneurs he interviewed for his newest
book. The premise: First spend the time creating great, useful content, build an audience around that
content, then you can pretty much sell them whatever you want.
If you're interested in learning more or would like a review copy of the book, I'd be happy to send!
Thanks for the consideration-
Amanda Subler
