Description
Biz Under 40 Presents: Brand "You" - A Personal Branding Discussion
Sponsored by Stewart McKelvey
As a young professional on PEI, have you ever thought about whether you should establish a ‘personal brand’, and why? Have you had questions like:
- Is a personal brand even important for my line of work? Why?
- How do I even decide what my own ‘brand’ is?
- How do I stay authentic AND professional at the same time?
- How do I get started and what are the opportunities available to me…and pitfalls I can avoid?
Not to worry - you are definitely not alone!
The BizUnder40 Committee is excited to welcome three young Islanders who’ve been down this same path to answer these questions, and more. We invite you to come by the Start-Up Zone on Thursday, October 13th, learn a few things and get motivated to build and grow your own brand on PEI.
*Lunch will be provided by The TnT Food Experience.
Space is limited, so register now!
