Seminar
Tiffany Bradshaw’s “Branding for the Writer” Workshop
Saturday, October 25, 2014
10:30 am to 1:00 p.m.
Brand: A unique and identifiable symbol, association, name or trademark which serves to differentiate competing products or services. Both a physical and emotional trigger to create a relationship between consumers and the product or service. A simple way to recall it is to consider a brand as a promise or an expectation.
Personal branding is the most important thing that you can do for your career.
Says Bradshaw, “I define Personal branding as marketing an individual person in a way similar to how you would market a brand name consumer product. Think of it as creating an image and “selling” it to the public through the subtle use of marketing, public relations and advertising. It is the key to success in business because with a strong brand, you can do almost anything. Think of Donald Trump or Oprah Winfrey; they move from successful project to successful project, sometimes even changing industries, almost effortlessly. A strong brand does not happen by chance; it is a concentrated effort to actively have a say in the perception the public has of them and their personal brands. Writers have very stiff competition for every opportunity, so we need to work to establish a strong brand that differentiates you from your competitors.”
This seminar will discuss Personal Branding and why it is important for writers. Tiffany will discuss Branding in terms of:
· Your Competitive Advantage
· Your Competitors
· Networking
· Your Sales Presentations
· Target Marketing
· Publicity and Media
· Marketing Materials
· Your Biography
· Your personal Intellectual Property
· Social Media
The audience is welcome to bring copies of business cards, marketing materials, screen shots of websites, etc., and if there is time, we can discuss some of them.
