Tweet When I sat down to plan my business content for 2013 I immediately thought, “How can I best break up the year?” My yoga practice came to mind, probably because I was in a class trying to clear my head when the idea of themes dawned on me. When practicing yoga, each sessions revolves

My Brand Name
Tweet Before writing for BrandKit, I had never really thought of my personal brand. I didn’t even think of people as having brands. To me, brands are the labels on the things I buy, not people. It’s interesting now to think of myself as having this tag that lets people know who I am. I

What’s Your Color? Creating More Than A Visual Brand
Tweet Being a brand isn’t like searing your flesh with some hot prodder that forces you to continue to stay the same way your whole life. The exciting thing about creating a personal brand is that you are free to change it, and it makes sense to. Especially when you yourself change. It evolves with

My Brand: Hardworking & Optimistic
Tweet What makes you an individual is often your brand. One of the easiest ways to set yourself apart as a job applicant is to brand yourself. Branding yourself, not to be confused with branding, as in with metal and heat, has to do with creating a personal brand that sets you apart. This can be

The Girl Who Is Strong, Capable, and Kind
Tweet Branding is probably the most important element of a product’s success. People don’t connect with products or services; they connect with brands. A brand can make a person feel loyal to a product, and loyalty is the key to success. For example, Coke and Pepsi are two very familiar brands with loyal fans. You

My Killer Personal Brand
Tweet What is a personal brand? Do I even have one? This was a question I asked myself every single day in college. To this day, it still remains part mystery. Part mystery. As I gradually find my place in the real world, I’m slowly unraveling the mysteries of personal branding. Little by little, I’m

I Hit the Halfway Mark! Hooray!!
Tweet I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for Brandkit for 8 weeks already! Time sure does fly! This year, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to blog every week for one year. I started my own blog and, as I thought, it’s been a little neglected since I started writing for Brandkit. But that’s

Blogging As A Personal Journey
Tweet The internet is a vastly overwhelming place. It’s like the universe in that way. The more you consider its size and power, the more miniscule you feel. You feel insignificant on a starry night looking at flickering lights that travel years just to be recognized by you. Some might ask, where do you belong

The Sound of Music and My Personal Brand
Tweet I listen to a VERY wide range of music. Some of my favorite artists are Pretty Lights (Hip-hop, Electronic, Funk & Soul), Ani Difranco (Folk rock, Indie, & Alternative), and Florence + the Machine (Indie-pop, Soul, Experimental). In the past week I’ve listened to: Bruce Hornsby (improvisational multi-genre, rock, jazz), Lil Kim (Hip-hop), Gotye

Brands: A Homogenized Sample of Yourself
Tweet To me, a brand is a homogenized sample of yourself. Like a company, a personal brand is always changing, reacting, and comfortably adapting to its surroundings. A personal brand must stand the test of time; it must always be a true representation of yourself. The only way your brand can be true is that
