BMA Roundtable: Building and Maintaining a Personal Brand is Crucial to Your Business Success
DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, A SECOND SESSION HAS BEEN ADDED!
Marketing professionals train and retrain the company employees in products and brands. The goal is to help everyone represent the company in a way that is consistent with the desired brand image.
But marketers can be so focused on their company’s image that they neglect their own. In both good times and bad, it’s important to step back, take stock, and make sure we practice what we preach. Just like a company, marketers need to check their own branding and ask themselves - Am I presenting a consistent image? Is that image right for this environment? Do I build trust and credibility, or do I break it? Does my brand attract the market, or does it push the market away?
Building and maintaining a Personal Brand IS crucial to business success. This BMA roundtable will help you apply branding concepts to your own unique situation:
- What the top 5% are doing that you don’t
- Is your brand still consistent? Is it appropriate for your target market?
- Rediscover Research
- Branding Strategies
- Color You Beautiful OR Johnny Cash wore black
- What’s in a name?
- Brand yourself in 20 seconds or less
- Yes, you need a business card
- Why some resumes are more effective than others
- Create a Brag Book – that you can actually carry
BMA breakfast Roundtables are limited to the first 20 participants and reservations are required.

Technical Sales & Marketing Placement and Recruitment
Rebecca has made a career of growing companies and people, focusing on the direct marketing industry since 2005. She brings experience from both the U.S. and Canada in academia, public relations, high technology, and human resources. She began her career in Canada by creating that country's first electronic, interactive reference guide to University level scholarships, prizes and bursaries. By the time that business was sold, Canadian Scholarships on File was a valued resource in 70% of high schools, colleges, Universities and public libraries across the country. From there, Rebecca became a fund raising leader with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the premier intersection of business and government in Washington D.C. Since then, she has concentrated on advancing company brands through the acquisition of targeted talent, with an emphasis on direct marketing and technical sales: the intersection of analytics and creativity.
