In today’s age of personal branding through social media, are we all brands? As individuals, yes, we are.
-
Social media profiles are creating expectations about individuals pretty much the way advertising does for a brand by propelling the idea of ‘you’ as a brand by creating the concept of ‘broadcasting of self’.
-
Think of yourself as a brand & your Facebook, Twitter timelines, WhatsApp groups as 24×7 media channels that are broadcasting your ads.
-
We are not talking one-on-one but, broadcasting to many people at the same time in similar way brands speak to their audiences.
-
People are watching us, judging us & forming an impression of us & that impression is the brand ‘you’.
-
Your views, your fitness regimes, your holiday destinations, your selfies with people you are hanging out with, your weekend party plans – all these are your ads creating that brand in people’s minds called ‘you’.
-
Brands also have to do with ‘selling’ & we as individuals are often selling ourselves to people who we want to impress friends & partners to employers & society at large.
