Build your personal brand at Inc. Interactive!

Inc. Interactive is a new series of hands-on business development workshops at The Purple Crayon. Branding expert Julie Cottineau led our very popular first session earlier this year, and now she returns with Inc. Interactive: The Brand of You.

Maybe you've already worked on branding your business, but have you built a personal brand? Julie Cottineau returns to Inc. Interactive to run another popular branding session, this time focusing on how to build and maintain a powerful personal brand. Experts like Julie know that this aspect of branding can often go overlooked, even though it's incredibly important in business. According to one of her blog entries on the subject, "When you are competing for a job it is not just about your education and your skills, it is also about what’s unique in the way you think, the way you work and the things that you are passionate about. People hire people, not resumes." 

Whether you're looking to use your personal brand to get a job, are launching your own business, or want to strengthen your existing business, this engaging, hands-on workshop will help you to transform your passions and personality into a brand that works for you.
