Are visuals important for building a personal brand? For founders, leaders, and creatives. How can I build a powerful personal brand?

Day 14 - Post series for all the founders, leaders, and creatives, working on building their personal brand: PERSONAL BRAND x VISUALS ⤵️ 

Today I'm answering the question: are visuals important for building a personal brand?

⭐ Visuals are important when building a personal brand because our human brain has a tendency to pay a lot of attention to what we visually perceive, and therefore form assumptions based on what it is that we are seeing, and what it means to us personally. 

But, if you follow my content, then you know that visuals are not the full equation; instead, they support the strategy, structure, and system that guides the whole brand mechanism forward. 

🔵 However, they still play a very big part in defining the brand and helping with positioning, so here we go: 

1️⃣ - make sure all your visuals match across your platforms. 

If you are rocking a specific personal style which communicates professionalism, then you probably won’t choose to show up in a tracksuit on your next public speaking gig, nor will showing up and sharing content in your pyjamas straight from bed work for it. 

2️⃣ - but besides personal style, graphics and digital visuals are equally important. 

Create consistency across your digital outputs; have a consistent brand look, color, and design that aligns with the message and positioning you want to communicate about your personal brand.

It also contributes to the perception of the brand as a one unified whole when audiences channel-hop from one site to another. 

3️⃣ - get some professional pictures taken and have a press pack.

These days, it’s easy to get high-quality results relatively quickly, so make sure to get those and, along with them, create a press pack that you can send through for any interviews, podcasts, or features. Don't forget to also include a bio and a press release.

This will help you maintain consistency across the variety of features you will generate over time. And the more people will come across the same specific picture, the more they will start recognising your brand and your work, building a better relationship with it each time. 

✅ Consistency is key!
