“Once upon a time…”- Cohesive storytelling

October 17, 2022 by Silke Dietz Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love a good story? As soon as our brains are capable of comprehensive listening we long for stories. So it’s no surprise that the secret sauce of every successful brand is cohesive storytelling, next to consistent marketing and spot on branding of course.

The ability to tell a story that emotionally touches and engages your audience is priceless. For most of us telling a story to a child or friend is no trouble at all.

But how to you tell the story of your brand? It all starts with the pressing question of

“Who are you?”

The biggest mistake most business owners make is being in love with their products or service, not with their clients. You have an outstanding product or extraordinary service but no one is buying? Truth is, people don’t fall in love with a business, they fall in love with the person behind it. In order for your ideal client to purchase from you, they first need to get to know you, because:

We don’t buy goods or services, we buy relations, stories and magic. -Seth Godin

Don’t be shy to showcase all the different sides of your personality, ranging from the bubbly bestie to the focused business woman. Share that cup of coffee and why it energises you, or talk about the latest experience you had in that calligraphy workshop. Let people in on where you get your best ideas from or why running is your way of mediation. Tell your followers what inspires you, why you do what you do, share your values and beliefs.

In other words, give a holistic and authentic insight on what they are dealing with when engaging with you.

“What do you do?”

Help your audience understand what it is that differentiates you from all the others by explaining your process and workflow. What is it people gain by hiring you? What problem do you solve for your clients? Break everything down so it would be easy to understand, even for a five year old. Remember, you are the expert, not us. If you’re selling a product, let us in on how you source. Is sustainability just a word for you or do you live it?

Make choosing YOU and your business the only choice for your prospective clients.

Cohesive storytelling should align both literally and visually, so make sure you have the imagery to go with the storytelling. You don’t have? Oh well, then hit the button below and let’s have a chat!

You are not a ‘before’ Picture

September 14, 2022 by Silke Dietz Leave a Comment

A Branding Photoshoot is not a beauty contest. It’s important that you represent yourself as the woman you are: authentic and professional.

‘I need to lose twenty pounds before I can do the photoshoot for my website’ or ‘I prefer to use stock photos because I don’t want my online visitors to see that I’m a bit older.’ Do you have similar excuses why you shy away from having a branding photoshoot done for your business? I totally get it. We’re all having our perceived flaws and most of us are beyond the forgivable age of twenty.

Here’s why it is irrelevant that you need to lose weight or hire a PT first:

1. Your audience doesn’t care what you look like

Let’s say you’re looking for a new accountant, or maybe real estate agent. You google your way through the websites and honestly, do you really care what the person looks like? Isn’t it more important that the person behind the business makes a likeable impression? And even more importantly, to find a person behind the business at all?

2. Yellow teeth, wrinkles, blemishes and all

When you meet in person, your personality makes up for a lot of visual flaws. A photo is static and you could even zoom in OMG. I’ll make sure your teeth are just bright enough, your wrinkles become inconspicuous and your impurities disappear completely. You’ll stay you, in an elevated reality, incredibly fresh, photogenic and professional. After all your client should still recognise you at your first meeting, right? Feel free to browse through my portfolio, where you will meet many women of all facets, all radiant.

3. Personality wanted!

People don’t fall in love with a business, they fall in love with the person behind it! Dare to show off your personality in your photoshoot by being yourself. If that’s not enough, there are plenty of props which help to get the job done. Are you a coffee addict, or wine lover? Wanna get buried in books or blow some confetti? What about making funny faces? The list is endless and it all leads to this: authentic images showing personality resonate with your ideal clients. In other words: Nothing sells better than personality.

Beauty – noun: A term that not only describes the outside, but above and all a positive inner radiance

The imagery we’re creating in your Personal Branding Photoshoot are not about your appearance, but who you are and what problems you can solve for your clients. My job is to make sure you look radiant and approachable. The only danger: you might fall in love with your new images.

A Case Study

November 17, 2021 by Silke Dietz Leave a Comment

Brand Photoshoot with Elizabeth Taylor from Digital Direction Services

“I wanted to differentiate the positioning of my business, Digital Direction in order to secure more training contracts and expand my customer base. I started the company focused on a friendly and relaxed approach aimed at 121 coaching for small businesses but soon realised that I also needed to market myself in a more professional style in order to secure projects delivering marketing training to larger groups and corporations. I signed up for brand photoshoot THE STYLED EDITION with Zebra & Jojo Photography in order to have the assets I needed to be able to portray this story on my LinkedIn profile, website and email marketing communications.

The shoot itself was clearly mapped out, with clear goals of what we needed to achieve. Silke took charge and knew exactly what had to be done on set to get the results we all wanted. 

The full suite of images were delivered swiftly after the session and I was genuinely taken aback at how the images portrayed the exact message I was trying to convey to my audience. I was given a broad spectrum of images to use for social media. My website and my email campaigns, each carefully planned out to get the results I was after. I couldn’t wait to use my new images and set to work developing a new cover image for my LinkedIn profile and updating the copy to reflect this new position. THE RESULTS WERE ALMOST IMMEDIATE; within a week I had been approached by five new marketing training providers about prospective work. The interest via LinkedIn and my website continued and I secured three new contracts, worth over $100K in total, within the next few weeks.

The impact of this work has been amazing and shows how important it is to use images to convey your brand image and positioning. I am certain I will be using this service again when these images need updating, or when I expand the products and services I am offering.”

Professional stylist? Check. Makeup artist? Check. This package is for the on-the-go boss who wants to be front and centre of the brand, with the details taken care of by our team.

Our stylist will come up with a personalised list of props that elevate your brand (and purchase them for you if needed), while our makeup artist will discuss with you the different looks and outfits for the day.

We’ll also rent a lifestyle studio for you, with plenty of varied angles to showcase you in different styled settings.

All you’ll have to do is show up for the day and put yourself into our hands.
