Today we are talking to Tsufit who provides tips on how to get noticed. I read her new book Step Into The Spotlight on a night flight back from the US. I was tired and wasn't sure I wanted to read...after the first few pages I was hooked. This book is a mixture of personal branding and brand marketing which fits so well with The Engaging Brand. We cover areas such as

How to network effectively

How to create your own brand story

How to make a presentation stand out from other speakers

How to engage with your brand audience

And THE SECRET to getting publicity!

Does Your Brand Look Great Naked? No jokes about my personal brand, look I am over 40 what do you expect :) One test for great brands is that behind all the marketing whether traditional or social media, what does the "naked brand" look like? How great is the brand offering? Does it stand in its own right as an experience that fulfils a need in the market? Does the beauty stand out in the competitor's crowd? Are you fending off the ageing process by a brand health check....do you keep working on the product so that it retains its youthfulnesss? Does the naked brand reflect the truth of the advertising? Does the naked brand have good manners in every interaction with the consumers? Most people, most things can look good when "made -up in public", however, the consumer will experience the brand in it's nakedness - at home, at work, at play. The brand has to stand in its own right without the make up of conversational marketing, advertising, logo's etc In an age of social media, engagement comes when the person loves the naked brand. Engagement comes when you break through the barriers of advertising or marketing, to experience the real beauty - and you still love the product. No amount of social media will hide an out of shape, out of date offering. When I think of internal brands and leadership, once the corporate clothes of words, of inspirational speeches, of promises are torn away....employees will only engage if the raw naked brand of day to day life is an embodiment of all that has been said....

When is a Conversation not a Conversation? Just had an interesting conversation with 2 people who have just had what they call "a conversation". Interesting because both believe they are right, both believe the other "didn't get it", and both believe the other is an idiot! Not sure that is what I would call a conversation because Conversations do not happen when you are consumed with emotion. Conversations are based on the art of listening not the art of talking Conversations are about both of you learning from the other, not one teaching the other. Conversations do not occur when interruptions are happening....that is just confirmation there is hearing but not listening... Conversations are never about getting to one truth, they are about understanding each others truth We often confuse discussions, shouting matches, debates .... with conversations. Business thrives with conversations - leaders to followers, brand to consumers, suppliers to company etc Conversational marketing follows the same principles Want to add money to your bottom line? Here is a secret recipe - profit comes through people communicating....communicating to create value in each others lives, whether inside or outside of the organisation.
