The Anonymous Marketer

Today, people use social media a lot, and the promotion of brands on social platforms has become an integral part of business.

But many companies have a misconception about what it means to make social media work for them and fail to realize the importance of strong personal brands that can contribute to the company's growth.

In this episode of Rep Your Brand, host Nick Bennett welcomes Mark Jung, VP of Marketing at Sales Impact Academy. They get into the importance of social media in building a strong personal brand and discuss changes in the way brands incorporate social media into their businesses.

Companies are increasingly hiring people with a strong personal brand because it has many benefits. And for companies that are still building their own brand, the social presence of a personal brand is high on the list when choosing candidates.

But many young people are afraid to share their views and ideas with other people. That is mainly because they think that posting content requires some experience and that they do not have the credibility to express their thoughts so publicly.

In this episode of Rep Your Brand, host Nick Bennett welcomes Corrina Owens, Senior ABM Manager at Gong. Corrina has experience developing and leading content generation across multiple media platforms. She explains what a personal brand is and who can post on LinkedIn. In addition, Nick and Corrina talk about why it's important to be yourself on LinkedIn and truly connect with people.

Even if you are working for a company, you can still create content on social media and build a personal brand. Today, many people try to build a personal brand on LinkedIn by writing articles and sharing valuable advice and business tips. In this way, they also help to promote their company.

But some organizations don't allow employees to create and share authentic content and prohibit posting during work time. However, a strong personal brand of even one employee can bring a lot of benefits to the company. So what happens if your company doesn't support you? How do you balance work and your own brand?

In the new episode of Rep Your Brand, Nick Bennett welcomes Todd Kunsman, the Director of Marketing at EveryoneSocial. Nick and Todd get into the ins and outs of building and promoting a strong personal brand, how to make your content stand out, and discuss why companies should support employees in building their social media profiles.

Your personal brand is your golden ticket to building a successful career. And there are tremendous benefits to developing your own brand — from attracting new clients to generating new opportunities for your business.

But personal branding is not strictly reserved for entrepreneurs. On the contrary, everyone can and should have a personal brand.

In this episode of the Rep Your Brand podcast, our host Nick Bennett welcomes Erin Balsa, the founder of Erin Balsa Content Marketing and, as of this year, a full-time self-employed content marketer. They talk about the perks of having a strong personal brand, how to build relationships on social media, and why consistency is critical.

Building a personal brand can stem from a lot of different activities. It’s all about what you want to achieve. LinkedIn has become one of the most popular channels to introduce yourself and let people know who you are. But some people do it only for the “likes” and never really connect with people.

So, how do you use LinkedIn as a way to truly engage with the audience? In this episode of Rep Your Brand, Nick Bennett welcomes Sam Kuehnle, VP of Demand Generation at Refine Labs. Nick and Sam get into what makes content appealing to a specific audience, identify ways to connect with people, and explain how you can get started with creating your own content to help you stand out on LinkedIn.

The combination of social media and communities has become an integral part of our professional lives over the last few years. And professional networking sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter are at the forefront of this evolution.

But there's an increasing demand for transparency and honesty on social media, so if you want to make it online, you need to keep it real with your audiences.

In this episode of the Rep Your Brand podcast, our host Nick Bennett welcomes Zoë Hartsfield, the Community Architect at Spekit. They talk about the importance of staying true to yourself on social media, how to improve your content writing skills, and the difference between a community and an audience.

The way you build a personal brand depends on your personality and the goals you want to achieve. And today, LinkedIn is the most popular platform for presenting yourself and your views, promoting your goals, sharing valuable posts to let people know who you are, and creating a personal brand.

But not everyone is successful at building their brand on LinkedIn. Some people don't connect with the audience; instead, they focus on how many "likes" they get. However, the truth is that these "likes" do not determine whether your brand is successful or not.

In the new episode of Rep Your Brand, Nick Bennett welcomes Liam Moroney, the SVP of Revenue Marketing at Notarize. Liam has more than ten years of experience as a demand gen SaaS marketer. Nick and Liam get into what makes a successful personal brand, identify ways to connect with the audience, and emphasize the importance of authenticity when presenting your brand to the target audience.

No matter how successful you want to become, it’s important to realize that you have to start somewhere. It's important to be honest with your peers and your online community by sharing your internal struggles. It’s important because others have struggles, too. And Linkedin is one of the best ways to share your experiences.

But most people, especially in the B2B community, use LinkedIn to share their latest promotion or how much money their company raised. And it's clear their posts only highlight success stories. What about what's happening behind the scenes?

In the new episode of Rep Your Brand, Nick Bennett chats with Robin Daniels, a three-time CMO who's currently taking a break from work, life, and LinkedIn. They have a meaningful discussion about sharing struggles on LinkedIn, overcoming your imposter syndrome, and the importance of taking a break and doing what gives you joy in life.

How you build a personal brand depends on your personality, goals, and platform choice. LinkedIn has become one of the most popular channels for presenting yourself as a brand, promoting your goals, and sharing valuable posts to let people know who you are.

But how do you use LinkedIn correctly to grow your audience and get them to engage with your content? While most people trying to build their brands on LinkedIn focus on how many ‘likes’ they get, experts disagree with that approach. Those metrics can be false, and they do not determine whether your brand is successful or not.

In the new episode of Rep Your Brand, Nick Bennett welcomes Michelle Griffin, the Strategic Personal Branding Advisor at BRANDthority. They have an insightful conversation about building your brand on LinkedIn, the best ways to use the platform to foster engagement, and the role authenticity plays while presenting your brand to the target audience.

Building a personal brand is one thing. And creating a positive culture around a brand is an essential element that entrepreneurs and employers should keep in mind when gathering their marketing teams. In addition, the salary standards have risen, and employees have many more opportunities than before. And that has become quite challenging for employers.

But building a culture around a brand is not reflected through higher salaries. If employees, especially the so-called A-players, are surrounded by a toxic work environment, they'll soon find a place with a positive work atmosphere and other A-players.

In the new episode of Rep Your Brand, Nick Bennett welcomes Kathleen Booth, the SVP of Marketing at Tradeswell. They talk about what it means to build an employer branding strategy, why hiring has become a challenge, and the importance of involving the C-suite in marketing.
