The 'Brand U' Podcast

In this episode we had the pleasure of talking with Jordan Platten, a 6 figure social media marketer. Jack, Chris & Jordan discuss all things social media marketing and how he was able to scale his SMMA to £10k a month in 90 days using his Personal Brand.

What we loved about this episode is how open Jordan is around the successes he’s had, and most importantly... the failures. Jordan is the definition of an entrepreneur, he is someone that just from this interview demonstrates how he just gets things done!

If you want to know what it takes to start your own social media marketing agency then you need to take a listen to this episode.

Resilience is what makes the most successful people who they are, building connections and never giving up is the most important factor.

Documentation has been the key to success, once you move away from thinking about creating content and just start living with your life on record you have the best chance of having your voice heard.

75% of my YouTube traffic comes from YouTube gifting me 16m+ impressions… once you have consistency on the platform and understand how the algorithm works you have the ability to explode online.

“Here today gone tomorrow platform” - listen to find out what platform Jordan is talking about.

“If this person is giving me this stuff for free, then what am I going to get when I start paying for their content.”

“If you are struggling for content ideas, then head to your competitors comments and look to create what their audience are asking for, but they are ignoring.”

Jordan is a successful entrepreneur, digital marketer, and mentor to thousands in the  UKingdom. In our interview Jordan and I discussed how he left his 9 to 5 job and took the biggest risk of all: starting his own business. Jordan shares his insights into the biggest problems businesses face today with advertising and how marketers can overcome them as well as how to prospect and how he built his agency to a full time business in less than 90 days.

In this episode we speak to Love Island 2018 contestant, online fitness coach and Influencer Kieran Nicholls. Find out why Kieran decided to go into the villa, how you can look to leverage TV to explode your Personal Brand and how he now leverages Instagram to build his online business.

If you are looking to learn more about what it takes to become an influencer, how to build relationships with brands or how to build an online business using your brand then you need to give this episode a listen.

With over 100k followers on Instagram, Kieran provides some amazing tips for anyone that is looking to get started on the platform.

High quality content is a perception and is most commonly used as an obstacle to getting yourself out there. Produce content that gives some sort of value and let your audience decide what is high quality.

A platform like Love Island, although gives you an audience, it does not give you a consistent income stream. When you are given exposure you need to make sure you learn the ways to monetise your audience and what I have done is build a platform that serves the hell out of my followers.

All I do is do me… I don’t worry about what other people are doing… I just focus on my own lane, keep my head down and look to spread my message as far as possible.

“Treat every follower like a person, forget about the numbers of people watching you”

“Stop giving a sh*t about what people think of you, I’m on a mission to help everyone become the best version of themselves, everything else is irrelevant.”

“As long as 1 person takes something from a video then that's all that really matters, now more than ever people are absorbing content, so leverage the time to get your message heard.”

Instagram Influencer, founder of the Kieran Nicholls Academy and Love Island 2018 Contestant Kieran Nicholls is known as the Personal Training & Fitness Expert.

Kieran trains clients every day; motivating them, pushing them and helping them reach their fitness goals, but that’s not the most impressive thing… Kieran does all of this ONLINE, from the comfort of his own home. With over 100k followers on Instagram, and an online business that is growing every single day… he is definitely an expert in leveraging your brand to improve every aspect of your life.

Introducing the next special guest to the Brand U Podcast Mr Tej Singh AKA Tej Talks, Mr Yellow & a number of other names that we shall not mention on this bio. Sorry Tej.

Tej for those of you who have not had the pleasure of hearing him speak before is a Property Entrepreneur and more importantly in our eyes a Personal Brand that has been built leveraging the media form Podcasting.

Throughout the show Tej, Jack & Chris discuss all things Property, Podcasting & Social Media. Tej breaks down exactly how we start again if everything was stripped away and why he wouldn’t recommend a Podcast as the only form of media you do. Hmm...Interesting ey?

Branding is key - Tej is known for the colour Yellow, and we break down why he chose the colour and how he has leveraged it to position himself as an authority figure in the Property world.

Authenticity has never been so important. Tej makes some great points about being transparent online, really showing the things that we all learn from as entrepreneurs and business owners. Its only when you open up that you start to see the results you are after.

“There is nothing more important than getting your story out there.”

“Never take Social Media for granted, it can be your best friend and your worst enemy at the same time… it’s all about the way you use it which determines the result”

“Documentation is the new form of creation… even in the podcast world, it becomes so much easier to create content when you have your life on record.”

Tej is a Property & Branding Entrepreneur who specialises in using his strength in communication to build relationships and shine in a very crowded sector. Tej has managed to build a Personal Brand very quickly and by doing so has managed to purchase 15 properties in just 8 months, raising over £600,000 of Investor finance. He now has a portfolio which is now valued at over £1.3m. No mean feat!

Tej is an impressive individual who has an incredible podcast (Tej Talks), and the way he has scaled his business in such a short amount of time is a prime example of what can happen when you focus on getting your message out to the world.
