Having a personal brand is different than having a company brand. Whether you are a business of “one” or a large company, developing a personal brand for the founder (or a key influencer in the company) can help you establish a loyal community of buyers.

A personal brand is built around an individual, and often reflects the key character, values and persona of that one person.

From YouTube videos, TikTok and Facebook Lives to podcasting to media placement and traditional PR, there are a variety of ways to build a personal brand – so how do you know what approach to take for you?

On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 310, former The Apprentice contestant turned publicist Sabrina Stocker joins me to share how she pivoted her multiple 7 figure branding company during the pandemic by leveraging her personal brand (and how she helps her clients leverage tools like YouTube to quickly build their own brand.)
