Building a personal brand is not something that you can do overnight. It's a long-term commitment and requires sustained effort. People only remember a brand after several impressions. According to CareerBuilder, over half of employers will not hire candidates with no online presence. There are some tips and tricks to create an online presence that's worthy of your time. Here are some of them. But first, understand the basics of personal branding. A CEO's personal brand is made up of three elements: his identity, his value, and the emotional response he or she generates with customers. To create a successful personal brand, a CEO must evoke strong emotions in customers that make them want to act on that information. For example, Steve Jobs' new product presentations triggered immediate sales. People expected quality from Steve Jobs, and that was because of their personal brand. Unfortunately, Tim Cook's personal brand doesn't inspire the same excitement.
Reputation management in CEO branding is an important component of your overall business strategy. CEOs are high-profile targets and a negative image can impact sales by 80%. The best way to combat negative media coverage is to use suppression and search engine optimization, or ORM. An effective ORM campaign will protect your brand from damaging press coverage by suppressing bad news, and improving your personal and brand image at the same time. In addition to public relations, CEO branding should include personal brand development. The CEO's personal brand will play a large role in how consumers perceive the company. According to Forrester Consulting, 74% of customers tie the perception of a brand directly to its CEO. This makes CEO reputation management all the more important. If a CEO fails to develop consumer trust, it will be difficult to sell the company's products.
In an increasingly competitive market, authenticity is vital. The authenticity of a company is vital to building a loyal following and a brand that people can relate to. According to a Cohn & Wolfe study, authentic companies have three characteristics that customers find most appealing: reliability, respect, and reality. Businesses that display these qualities will succeed in a competitive market. If authenticity is a priority for your company, the following strategies will help you differentiate yourself from your competitors.
