Having a strong personal brand is important in any economy, but especially now when individuals must stand apart in a competitive job market or avoid being a victim of downsizing. Times are hard but the good news! Social Media makes it easier than ever for people and small businesses to build and sustain a great brand …as long as we take the time to understand HOW to do it. With Social Media however, we all have the added responsibility of managing our brands, whether we like it or not.
[ Ed events are our smaller content rich events. Do NOT confuse it with our bigger SMCSeattle monthly networking event!]

SMCSeattle Education brings you a compelling 2 part branding workshop that will take you all the way from understanding the basics of branding to implementing it using social media. Silicon Valley Branding expert Karen Kang will lead an in depth personal branding workshop to help you identify and jumpstart your brand.
