A lot of my branding has come from stubbornness - I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think of myself as a brand. Branding to me feels like a position or identity that's frozen in time. I'm more interested in transitions.
Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don't know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.
It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality.
There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.
We created a brand for ourselves, so that now people can't get mad at what we do, because then they're just making of themselves.
Brands are in your face 24/7; I'm sure you've consumed a couple brands today. So it's fun working with them. People recognize brands, and people are starting to recognize my brand.
As the founder of your company, you must be in love with your brand and inspired by your brand's mission if you have any hope of getting press for your product.
The only thing I know is I ain't changing my brand. I know what I believe. I'm confident in what I know. And I'm gonna say it. And if folks like it, wonderful. If they don't like it, I understand.
Remember that your reputation is everything. You build your personal brand through everything you do, whether big actions or small decisions, and that brand will stay with you throughout your career.
Your brand is your public identity, what you're trusted for. And for your brand to endure, it has to be tested, redefined, managed, and expanded as markets evolve. Brands either learn or disappear.
