What is a Personal Brand?

November 3, 2020 by Silke Dietz Leave a Comment

We use many brands on a daily basis, without even really thinking about it, right? So, what is your favourite brand? No matter what your answer is, your chosen brand has earned your trust because you can relate to their values and visions, as their product speaks to you at a deeper level than their competitors do. 

As humans we are prone to emotions and stories and a brand is nothing more than a distinctive perception of stories, emotions and expectations that people have about a company. And which is accountable in the decision of choosing one brand over another. 

A brand is the perception of a company in the eyes of a consumer.

It is the age of social media and in todays digital life we are very visible, and we all have all been googled, at least at one stage of our career, but have you ever googled yourself? And if so, did you like what you saw, is it really you? You might want to pause here for a while, and think about it, because that is how the world sees you, that’s the perception others have of you. And if you aren’t properly managing your online reputation, then others will do it for you. 

Branding is the active process of forming a reputation, your brand.

To create a strong and memorable brand there are a few elements to it: 

Name & Logo

The first and most important part of your business journey, as your business name will exist for the duration of its lifetime. To find the ideal name ask yourself some questions:

Does the name need to mean something? Do you need to relate to it? Is it unique? 

Your logo is the one image that will come to mind when people think about your company. 

Brand Colours & Vibes

For your brand colours and vibes you need to be aware that your choice is key to initiate a distinct vibe for your brand. All the big banks and insurances like Deutsche Bank or Allianz chose blue for a reason as the colour blue is related to trust. 

Voice & Heart

How are you addressing your customers? Are you serious and formal or warm and friendly? It is important to use a tone that feels aligned with your customers but also authentic to you. 

And the most important part: what is your why? 

Earn your customers trust by clearly stating your brand mission, your core value. 

Now you have the setup, but for a successful marketing strategy you want to own your brand. Do you know on which social platforms your customers are? Because you want to be there and proactively engage in conversations instead of waiting for your customers to find you. For a strong profile make sure that your website as well as all your social media platforms are align. Be consistent in your posting and keep in mind that your social voice is your brand voice, aka your voice. And last but not least, choose your imagery according to your brand, this will ensure a cohesive brand aesthetic.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. By nature we never st Happy Mother’s Day, Mama.

By nature we never stop being a mother as we never stop being the child to our parents. But of course the relationship changes over the years. Once the kids turn into adults the dynamic and I would dare to say power shifts. Not only have they discovered a long time ago that we parents don‘t know it all, (no need for pretending anymore) they very often DO know anyway and sometimes better. It becomes eye to eye. 

That’s where I am today. You know how much I loved having toddlers. In hindsight it was so much easier, as the saying goes: little children little worries, big children big worries. But I have to be honest, I do enjoy my grownups quite a bit. Meaningful conversations from woman to woman with my daugher (preferably over some nice lunch 😜) and a strong hand when in need from my son. Acknowledging them for the adult they are allows me to be vulnerable, share responsibility, lean on them if needed. That’s a very empowering feeling indeed. 

Looking forward to a fun day out with my family, lots of bubbles and laughters. How does your Sunday look like?

Finally, finally FINALLY. It‘s easier to meet Finally, finally FINALLY. 

It‘s easier to meet up with the pope than with this lovely lady, but we finally did it. Between her super busy schedule, taking care of new mums and their little ones, organising a baby fair and having her own family she found the time to redeem her win. 

Please meet: Kathy, the winner of the International Women‘s Day lucky draw. She is the face and force behind @empowa.sg, the thinking woman‘s postpartum consultant, the new mum and newborn postpartum doula support. In other words, she‘s your go-to person when you‘re expecting. 

We had so much fun during her Profile Edition photoshoot, because as per job description she is not hesitant to name  things by it‘s name while being hands-on. Just what you need, especially when you‘re having your first child. 

Thank you Kathy for your trust and making the shoot so easy. I wish for every expecting mum having you by her side.

While my mind is still in Bali, my body is at my d While my mind is still in Bali, my body is at my desk where I stumbled upon an article about fulfillment with an  exercise to find out what fulfillment means to you. 

I did the exercise and found out that meeting people or just being with people is a huge part of me feeling content. I don’t necessarily need to interact, just being surrounded by people is enough. That said I’m super happy that Singapore now finally is opening up and we can have parties and networking events again without counting numbers. I’ve missed it! 

This is a throwback to 2019 (yes THREE years ago) when meeting many people over loads of food (called buffet, remember those?) was the norm. And now it‘s party time again! Photographing events is my secret passion. DM me if you have something special planned and we can have a chat.
