Laid Back Friday 1/25/08: Brand Mystery 8, a Song and a Question

The best part about Friday’s is that after work or your last class, you have the whole weekend to have fun and rejuvenate. Here at Personal Branding Blog, I am now offering you relief from a long week reading countless entires on self-branding, amongst other blogs and news sources. In order to make Friday’s as fun as they should be, I’m now enlisting the “Brand Mystery” game, a song of the week and answer a question of the week for your viewing pleasure. By the time you’re finished guessing the brand below, listening to the song and thinking about the posed question, you’ll be way on your way to saying “TGIF.” If you leave a comment on this post requesting your favorite song, I may play it next Friday!

Brand Mystery is a game where you guess who the personal brand is below. The person who guesses the correct answer first receives a link on the next autopsy post.

Question from Jen: What happens when everybody else gets a blog and uses every social network connection they have to land a job? Will you still stand out?

My Answer: Jen, this is an interesting question. I think part of the competitive advantage now is having a blog, being prolific and engaging in conversation on various social networks. Remember that personal branding is less about the delivery channels and more about who you are and what you can offer. When everyone has a blog in the future, there will be a new technology or strategy that you can discover that will give you an advantage.

Blog Readers: What are your thoughts?
