Marca pessoal é o processo de definir e promover o que você representa como indivíduo. Sua marca pessoal é uma culminação das experiências, habilidades e valores que diferenciam você.​​ 

For social media influencers, freelancers and keynote speakers, building an effective personal brand is part of “selling” themselves to clients. For everyday people, a personal brand improves confidence, opens the door to new opportunities and helps you better understand yourself.​​ 

Como definir sua marca pessoal​​ 

Everyone has their own personal brand. Just like with corporate brands, people will perceive you in a certain way. By taking charge of your personal brand, you can determine what people think and feel when they interact with you.​​ 

A personal brand rests on five core elements:​​ 

  • Values: The principles and beliefs that guide your decisions​​ 
  • Expertise: The skills and knowledge you want to be known for​​ 
  • Voice: The tone and personality you bring to your content​​ 
  • Visual identity: The photos, colors and design choices that make you recognizable​​ 
  • Online presence: The profiles and content people find when they search your name​​ 

Personal brand vs. company brand​​ 

A company brand belongs to an organization and its marketing team. A personal brand belongs to you and follows you across roles.​​ 

For example, SparkToro Co-founder Rand Fishkin is known for his marketing research and keynotes at hundreds of marketing and tech events. Twitch streamer Pokimane has a brand that spans Twitch, YouTube and TikTok.​​ 

Personal brand statement​​ 

A personal brand statement is a one- to three-sentence summary of what you do, who you serve and what sets you apart. Use it in your social media bios, LinkedIn headline and pitch materials.​​ 

Como criar uma marca pessoal​​ 

A personal brand exists whether you create it for yourself or not. It’s a culmination of all your online and offline behavior, including your social media presence. But you can shape it with a few deliberate steps:​​ 

  1. Define your purpose: Decide what you want to be known for and what you’ll need to do to establish your identity.​​ 
  2. Audit your current presence: Search for yourself online and find out what people are already saying about you. This will show you how much you need to change.​​ 
  3. Choose your platforms: Determine how you’re going to showcase your identity (blogging, interviews, social media).​​ 
  4. Publish consistently: Stick to a regular schedule.​​ 
  5. Review and adjust: Check how people respond and refine your strategy as your goals change.​​

O objetivo não é apresentar uma identidade falsa ou criar um personagem para si mesmo. Uma marca pessoal de sucesso envolve a escolha determinadas partes da sua personalidade para apresentar-se à sua rede da melhor maneira possível.​​ 

Benefícios da marca pessoal​​ 

A personal branding strategy is a way for ambitious people to improve their reputation online. Personal branding also leads to:​​ 

  • Improved credibility as you showcase your skills and highlight your knowledge​​ 
  • Differentiation as you explain what sets you apart from other people in your space and demonstrate your specialties​​ 
  • A lasting impression—the more you show off your personal brand, the more you’ll give people a way to remember you​​ 
  • Engagement with your target audience as they begin to understand who you are and what you stand for​​ 

Personal branding involves communicating your identity to the right people. Not everyone will resonate with your personal brand, so it’s important to decide who you want to engage before you start your branding process.​​
