Comments on: Our journalism students need to sell their personal brands http://cronkite.asu.edu/mcguireblog/?p=164 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 20:51:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: George W Kukurin DC http://cronkite.asu.edu/mcguireblog/?p=164&cpage=1#comment-769 George W Kukurin DC Tue, 04 May 2010 23:38:26 +0000 http://cronkite.asu.edu/mcguireblog/?p=164#comment-769 A comment that has stuck with me over the years is understanding the difference between building a valuable brand for yourself versus allowing allowing yourself to be branded. Same root word, big difference.

With the invention of social media and the potential out there for millions of dollars worth of free advertising, people not jumping on this opportunity now are missing out! If you havent already, there is a new book by Gary Vaynerchuk called "Crush It" that talks about exactly what you mention in this article, and it is very very good!

I was simply curious about this article from the tile and didn't really think I personally would walk away with much, but especially as an actor, much of what you said about branding made sense in a way no one has ever explained it to me before. So for that I am truly glad I happened upon your page. And it is true that in this Facebook world we live in, nothing is sacred anymore. What I could get away with saying and writing to friends when I was kid, isn't the same anymore, when there is truly no delete button. There is an interview series on the Future of Journalism that I would like you to visit. http://www.ourblook.com/index.php?topic=future_of_journalism I also think that this article in particular could be very useful for the site, so please feel free to leave comments or contact sandy@ourblook.com Thank you so much for this article.

I am rushing it in front of 24 seniors in convergence journalism & strategic comm who I am directing for their capstone projects this semester. These are 100% social media campaigns for @ArtyApt & @Apps4Brand, and every aspect of the projects aim to give these students both the skills and knowledge of the tools in social media to help in their job searches, while also letting them create killer 'Personal Brand' portfolios of their individual contributions to the campaigns. Yet, I hate to say this, and I experienced the same thing doing this last year at Mizzou, some of the students continue to post inappropriate content via their Facebook and Twitter accounts, and these are one click away from our campaigns' Web places. Some is just wrong, and with others it's clear the students have not thought through possible consequences. For instance, one student has been trash talking about the sports teams at another university in a city where there are many agency staffers who are alums of the other school. I think this student doesn't realize he might be seeking employment at those agencies. So thanks again Tim.
