Video 5 FINAL Personal Brand

 

Blue Focus Marketing is happy to announce the release of our newest video in support of our Amazon best-selling book, The Social Employee (McGraw-Hill, 2013). Following in the tradition of our previous videos, which focused on the brand/employee relationship (“Think of your brand as a planet”), social marketing communications (“What is a Möbius strip?”), and social executives (“Are you a social executive?”), our latest entry tackles the world of employee branding, or what we like to call the #SocialYou.

The #SocialYou, inspired by Tom Peters’s (@tom_peters) now immortalized concept of “Brand You,” represents the cultivation of a digital persona through the process of seeking, joining, building, and ultimately contributing to communities of shared interest via social media channels. At the heart of this process is the idea that a strong #SocialYou gives people greater freedom in their professional careers —whether they’re looking for a new job, beginning their professional careers, or working to build a stronger reputation within an organization.

A special thanks to Tom Peters (@Tom_Peters) for viewing and commenting on our video!  See Tom’s tweet below.

In the coming months, we’ll be exploring the concept of the #SocialYou in greater detail, demonstrating the myriad of ways that a dynamic personal brand creates a host of new opportunities for social employees. Every employee has the power to distinguish themselves from other prospective employees by putting their skills and expertise front and center on social channels.

And if they can do it, so can you. What are you doing the make your #SocialYou shine?
