If you're anything like our clients, you're an expert in your field. One of the best.

We help our clients do just that through the power of personal branding, by:

1. Giving them clarity on their brand and positioning them as industry leaders.
2. Blowing up their social profiles and landing them high-profile media features.
3. Helping them convert their new-found reputation into meaningful opportunities and ROl

And having built 300+ personal brands, we've got quite good at it, achieving results like these in the process:

The GPS never says "you made a mistake". It says "recalculating route". 
That's what ambition should look like. 

Last year, I had to slow down and take detours.

But it was ok because I knew I was still moving.

(And move I did- literally)

I made the extremely difficult decision of moving back to my home country after:

- securing that elusive work visa
- achieving an Imperial College Master's 
- running 2 successful solo consulting businesses 
- spending 8 years alone, 4,000 miles away from home

When I came to the UK aged 18, I-

Wanted to "make a man" of myself. 
Wanted to grow, challenge and improve. 
Wanted to achieve financial stability and independence. 

I learned from some incredibly successful people, sometimes far younger yet far 'bigger' than me. 

I worked and hammered YESs to every opportunity, just so brilliant people would keep me around and allow me to learn. 

So here I am, checking in my suitcases full of their work ethic, demeanour, tenacity and skill.

For sure, moving back means un-doing some things I worked hard towards,

But in the grand scheme of things, it's all still in the spirit of ambition and growth.

Taking a step back so I can leap forwards. 

Recalculating route.

Head of Strategy and Content @Kurogo | We create thought leaders through personal branding | 300+ Personal Brands Built

The time we had to fire a client…(not clickbait)

Here’s the backstory:

- Client comes on wanting to create a personal brand
- Objective: “win my new business leads”
- Outcome: 4 months in, no results 

And don’t get me wrong:

The work was top-notch. 
The delivery was perfect. 
The client was buzzing. 

There were 0 complaints, pushbacks, problems. 

But we still put our foot down. Why?

Their business was too early in its journey. 

Barely a functioning website. 
Several re-brands along the way.
Multiple changes to the strategy and content. 

The business didn’t know what it wanted to be yet- and I didn’t see that changing soon. 

So I texted Sam I wanted to put down the rabid dog.

We did the right thing and let them go.

Marketing can’t fix or create a business. 
Content alone won’t bring you your first customer. 
Sometimes, the best action you can take is none at all. 

Now, we thoroughly assess prospect readiness before kicking off campaigns. 

Because the last thing we want to do is make a quick buck at the cost of a new business’ precious capital.

When you create something new, you remove yourself from the competition.
You become the only choice - not just another option.

And that's what positioning is:

1. Create something that does not exist
2. Claim it as your own

Most people try to compete in a crowded room. A "Red Ocean".

They see what is working for others, copy it, and hope to stand out.

Bad move.

Here is the real playbook:

→ Find a niche that is empty or underserved.
→ Frame it in your own words. Give it a name. Make it yours.
→ Claim it by sharing your unique point of view again and again.

Now you are not in the “better” race. 
You are in the “different” race. 
(Hint: different always wins.)

Want to become irreplaceable? 

Stop talking about how you are better. 
Start showing how you are different.

Btw, you don’t need a fancy framework. You need:

→ A clear promise that says what you offer.
→ A source of proof that you are credible.
→ A unique mechanism, POV or personality.

Remember: the most valuable brands are not the best at what everyone else does. 

They are the best at what only they do. A category of One.

This week, have a think about what your category is. 
My DMs are open!

This was a 4-week Instagram campaign for the George and Dragon pub based in Chester. The aim of this campaign was to promote the pub's new cocktail bar, to University of Chester students, prior to its launch. Please refer to the bar chart to see an overview of its performance.

The bar chart illustrates the social media performance prior to the campaign and after the campaign, compared to the objectives set, based on three key metrics. Increasing followers was not an objective, however, the significant difference was worth mentioning.
