Personal brands are transferable, meaning that if you're well known in your industry, you can move around, which is great for your career, but can hurt your company. It's the only form of career protection that exists today. The only way for a person to stay at a company long-term is if their values, mission and vision are identical.

But they were posted today, so – ha! John, Daniel and Rebecca were apparently having a discussion about personal branding recently, and these two posts came out of it. Makes for really interesting reading. Does personal branding negatively or positively affect agencies?

I think the idea of personal branding has been over used. I remember when it "used" to be called reputation management. But, perhaps I'm dating myself. Like Jenn said, people have been saying negative (and positive) things as long as there have been words and mouths to use them. Social media (why the hell is still called social media, is beyond me, but I digress) is just another platform, broadcaster if you will, to project what folks think.

Social media and the practice of it is nothing new. It's been around for a long time, we just now have a name for it. Of course most people don't realize this so when they hear 'personal brand' or 'social media' they get scared, or worried that people will start saying negative things about them/their company. People have been saying negative things for years, whether it was at a tupperware party or on Twitter. Now we have the ability to hear what's being said, which offers the opportunity to make the necessary changes. I could go on and on, but I won't. Excellent post! Agreed!

You get a massive Tesla coil. Josh and I will build it. It will be forty feet tall, and all of the metal will have gold filigree spelling out "Fuck Thomas Edison...seriously." It will be epic. And when the weeping women come to mourn you, ripping their hair and rending their flesh, I will nod wisely and say, "Children, The Great One is not here. If you truly love him, you will go find Dan, for he is the one that fucked up the eulogy and is getting his ass haunted for the rest of time. Now go, I have some soldering to do." And it will be good. So say we all. (ps you're awesomesauce(tm)) Fuck you getting a grave. You get a massive Tesla coil. Josh and I will build it.

This comes from someone who had their mom write "You're an overstatement!" on her graduation cake. I couldn't tell you why, but I suppose I wanted people to feel confused and then laugh as if they were in on some sort of joke that they didn't fully understand. Anyway, I fully support your decision to include Sega in your eulogy. And if I'm still alive, I will visit that tombstone so I can take a photo and post it to Twitter, Flitter or whatever version we have in the future. Elephant aside, I’m a fan of this post.

You can give me some tips on how to access certain themes or whatever they're called. Overall, it's very inviting and accessible. Nice work. Let me know when and where you will be on stage and let's hear more about your photo class. Jack John, It looks fine with a rich feel.
