Join us for this hands-on program and walk out with a marketing plan for your favorite brand . . . yourself. Crafting a strong personal brand requires you to think like a Product Manager and act like a Project Manager.
Great marketing leaders have shown that a well-executed focused strategy can accelerate success. Cita will share with you how to apply strategic marketing and tactical execution to your own career:
• Identifying goals, target markets, and decision makers
• Analyzing competitors in order to differentiate yourself
• Product positioning (your elevator speech)
• Partnership and Distribution strategies (your network)
• Tactics: LinkedIn, PR, Website, Blog, Twitter, Associations
Learn how to build awareness for your skill set in order to set yourself up to win—and position yourself as a player in the event of a downsizing. If you are currently in transition, you’ll learn how to methodically approach your job search and build relationships for years to come.
