For a personal brand, developing a profile through the media whether that it mainstream or social can have a very influential effect on being seen, heard and known.
In this blog (with video) I share a few tips to help you stand out through the media. By the way more of this is shared in IMPRESSario, Present and Promote the Star Within You, where I devote a number of chapters to the marketing and publicity of YOU.
- Be the expert. Gain the appropriate skills and deep knowledge to become an expert in your field. Become a qualified member of your industry’s association, as this will give you credibility. Winning awards in your industry will add to your authority.
- Be clear on what your message is – know what you want to say. Understand that you need to have a point of difference or something interesting to say and that you need to get that across in an entertaining and informative way.
- Know your audience. Zero in on your target and know where they get their information from.
