I think personal branding is a very interesting concept, and while learning more about it in GBDA 101 I started thinking about my close friends and what they would want to include in their personal branding. I decided to ask a few of them to pick something that really represented them as a person/something that they would've wanted to have included in their own “Personal Branding”. Here’s what they had to say about the things they chose and why they decided to choose them.
Photo #1: "Getting accepted into university has always been a dream of mine, and accepting my offer to the University of Waterloo was a huge defining moment in my life. I think once I moved away from home and started university I really started to grow up; which is why I would want something relating to post secondary studies within my personal branding.”
Photo #2: “Without a doubt my friends have had the biggest impact on my life so far. I wouldn't be where I am today, nor would I have left my hometown if it wasn't for their constant support. This is why I would want to have something related to my friends included in my personal branding. They mean the world to me haha.”
Photo #3: “Ever since I was young, I’ve always had a passion for skateboarding. As soon as long boards started to become a popular thing I got one and began learning how to ride. I would spend countless hours on these boards, if I wasn't with my friends you could almost always find me either skateboarding or long boarding. Even now, I’m usually on my longboard going between classes or from campus to my student house. It’s become a part of me, which is why I would want to have skateboarding or long-boarding within my personal branding”
