Do You Look The Brand?

  • 1 min read

Every Wednesday I moderate #brandchat – a high velocity twitter chat that happens weekly all around the subject of brands and branding.  David Sandusky and I co-founded the chat two years ago. Who knew that every week for two years we would be here – with a library of tidbits, resources and some stellar thought leaders!

Every chat we discuss four different brand related questions. The chat is only an hour so you must be fast and on be on your toes (or rather be ready with fast fingers!)

Recently we chatted about image management and brand management.  Some people thought they were one in the same – so we BRANDidos (a term of endearment given to those who chat on #brandchat) decided to take the question on!  In the comment section below, I would love to hear your thoughts.   And, if you ever want to become a BRANDido ….becoming one is just one Wednesday chat away.

Q1: Where do you draw the distinction between Personal Branding and Image Management? #brandchat

neilmckenzphoto: Q1: I put image mgmt more in the realm of pr, advertising, dress, makeup and of course great photos. #brandchat

CASUDI: A1.Would Personal Image management (superficial) B how others see U, Personal Branding How U R (substance)? #brandchat

MikeBaltus: Q1 aren’t they two different marketing mindsets? Or do they flux in the grey area #brandchat

DavidSandusky: Q1 brand is always so marketing activity and image has no line #brandchat

ReneeCossman: Q1: I agree with @CASUDI. And would add that branding is the foundation. #brandchat

kathydodd: Q1: I think that there is some overlap – image would probably go more with PR vs. brand is more mktg. #brandchat

iangertler: @DavidSandusky @brandchat A1: Distinction btw& Image Management depends on the individual. Varies at times. #brandchat

neilmckenzphoto: Q1: Image mgmt is a subset of personal brand – sadly for some all they have is an image… #brandchat

midnitepromo: @brandchat A1. the line is drawn between my client being a personal service provider or my client being a B2B provider. #brandchat

DavidSandusky: @IanGertler Q1 or do you mean difference in how one chooses to self-promote, which is different than brand mngt #brandchat

midnitepromo: @brandchat A1. The 2 are in correlation but can be used in retrospect of complete opposite sides of the service scopes. #brandchat

iangertler: @DavidSandusky re: Q1 difference in how one chooses to self-promote, which is different than brand mngt #brandchat >@ times. No set formula.

midnitepromo: A1. Personal branding is more prevalent in building one’s distinction and presence within a competitive market #brandchat

Trending around the web:

midnitepromo: A1. While image management is primarily my focus when presence, branding and market share has already been obtained #brandchat

iangertler: Q1. Yes! Take the stars on the #Grammys. Image branding is for the show. Personal branding is connecting with fans. #brandchat

Communication research dating back decades has consistently found that weak or avoided eye contact is one of the fastest ways a listener downgrades a speaker’s perceived credibility, often within the first few seconds of an interaction

Psychology says the single biggest predictor of who you’ll fall in love with isn’t shared values or chemistry — it’s proximity, plain nearness, because we grow fond of whoever we simply keep seeing

Psychology says the loneliest people in life aren’t the ones nobody likes — they’re often the kind, capable people everyone appreciates and nobody thinks to check on, because a person that steady is easy to assume is fine

The people others describe as having “good energy” usually aren’t doing anything mystical, they’ve quietly built three habits: naming what they noticed someone else did well, letting a silence sit instead of filling it with their own story, and asking a second question instead of stopping at the first
