Personal Branding Pitch Thanksgiving Contest

As a brand, you need to learn how to sell yourself persuasively and with haste, when communicating your message to others.  Aside from being in an elevatar, you may have to pitch yourself during an interview, at a networking event, to someone at work and in other situations, possibly concerning the media.  If you fail to do this, both accurately and consistently, you will miss opportunities and your brand image will sink.

Contest rules

You have no more than three sentences to promote your personal brand.  This means you can’t talk about your personal life, unless of course there is a major crossover.  Within three sentences, you should convince me and my readers who you are, what you do and what you can do for us.  To enter this contest, all you have to do is write your pitch in the comments section of this post.

Example:  My name is Dan and I’m a personal branding expert, as well as the author of an upcoming book, entitled “Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success.”  My entire career revolves around my mastery of personal branding, starting with my award winning blog, a magazine that I publish, podcasts that I produce, an award I give out, and I speak to various audiences.  I’m also a social media specialist at EMC Corporation, involved in their external social media communication program and have been with them for over two years.

Prizes

Marcus Buckingham is giving away five free copies of his new book, “The Truth About You,” to the contest winners!  Marcus is famous for selling millions of books, and making millions of dollars on speaking all over the world.  He’s even been on Oprah and P Diddy’s show.  His new book includes a DVD and is valued at $29.99 a piece.  I’ve already read it and watched the video and enjoyed it.  I even blogged about it not too long ago.

Good luck and happy thanksgiving!
