Welcome
To Your Personal Brand Growth Journey
You're really taking your personal brand seriously, and that's a smart move. Over time, this effort helps you build a group of followers who really trust you. A strong personal brand isn't just for what you're doing now; it's like planting seeds for all the cool projects you might dream up in the future.
Just know, growing a personal brand takes time, and you've got to stay focused. Think of it like a tree's trunk - at first, it shoots up to support the branches, but as it grows, it gets wider and stronger, able to handle tough times better.
In the beginning, your brand is like a young tree - it needs lots of care because it's delicate. But stick to a plan as you grow, and your brand will become strong enough to stand up to any challenge.
Define Your Core
(The Trunk)
Purpose & Values
Start by uncovering your 'why' and the values you stand for. This isn't about planting new seeds but about understanding what already exists at your core, much like a tree's established trunk.
​
Authenticity
​
Just as a tree's trunk is genuine, we ensure your personal brand reflects who you truly are, not who you think you should be. This authenticity will be visually communicated through the consistency in your brand's visual elements. ​
Craft Your Narrative
(Strengthening Your Trunk)
Storytelling
​
We'll work with you to tell your story in a way that resonates, much like the rings within a tree tell its history. Your narrative should be consistent across all platforms, ensuring your "trunk" is strong and recognisable.
​
Visual Identity:
​
We'll design a personal brand identity system that mirrors the unique texture and strength of a tree's bark, using colours, fonts, and imagery that reflects your brand's essence.
Engage and Expand
(Growing Your Branches)
Visibility:
​
Once your personal brand (trunk) is robust, we focus on growing your visibility (branches). This isn't about overt growth references but about strategic placement and presence. Think of each platform as a branch where your brand can extend its reach, ensuring each branch supports the trunk's identity.
​
Content Strategy
​
We'll guide you on creating content that naturally extends from your core identity, like branches from a trunk. This involves consistency, ensuring all communications feel like they're come from the same tree with a consistent tone and message, and value adding. Like branches offer leaves for nourishment, your content should provide value, whether through insights, storytelling or direct engagement.
Community and Impact
(Leaves and Ecosystem)
Networking
​
We emphasise building a community around your brand, much like a tree supports an ecosystem. This isn't about literal leaves but about fostering relationships that support and are supported by your brand, enhancing your "trunk's" strength.
​
Impact
​
Your personal brand should leave a positive impact, akin to how a tree benefits its environment. We'll help you identify how your brand can contribute to your community or industry, subtly reinforcing the idea of growth and sustainability.
Continuous Refinement
(Nurturing the trunk)
Feedback and Evolution
​
Just as a tree's trunk grows stronger over time, we'll encourage regular audits of your personal brand to ensure it remains true to your evolving self and goals. This involves listening to feedback, which helps refine your brand. Then there's adaptation, or adjusting your brands identity or strategy as needed, ensuring your "trunk" remains robust and your "branches" relevant.
