The Power of a Strong Personal Brand: How to make yourself unforgettable in the creative industry
Hey Reader,
Are you tired of blending in with the crowd in the creative industry? Are you ready to make a lasting impression and be unforgettable? Well, you’re in luck because today we’re talking about the power of a strong personal brand. First things first, let’s define what a personal brand is. It’s not just about your logo or business card, it’s about the way you present yourself and your business to the world. It’s about the image you project and the message you convey. It’s about being authentic and true to yourself, while also differentiating yourself from the competition. So, how do you create a strong personal brand? Here are a few tips:
1. Get clear on your values and mission. What do you stand for? What do you want to be known for? This will help you create a consistent message and image.

2. Be consistent. Once you know your values and mission, make sure to consistently communicate them through your online and offline presence.
3. Show your personality. People buy from people, not from brands. Let your personality shine through and don’t be afraid to be yourself.
4. Be authentic. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. People can spot inauthenticity a mile away.
5. Be memorable. Create a tagline or a signature phrase that people will associate with you and your brand.
6. Finally, be bold, be daring and be unapologetically you! Remember that building a strong personal brand takes time and effort, but it’s worth it in the long run.
By investing in yourself and your brand, you’ll be able to stand out in the crowded creative industry and attract the right customers, clients and partners.
So, go forth and be unforgettable!
xoxo,

Hey Reader, First—thank you. After my last email, not only did I get the kindest messages back (you know who you are 💛), but I also gained several new subscribers, which means we're almost at 100 people on this list! That number might feel small to some, but to me? It’s a reminder that showing up—even after a long pause—is always worth it. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking about just how much has changed in the last five years. When I started my jewelry brand, Nueva Luxe, I had no...
Hey Reader, It's been a minute, and I know it. But in my defense—I had a baby! I know, not the best excuse for disappearing, but let me tell you, life has been a wild adjustment. Just the other day, I missed a phone call while putting my daughter to sleep and got a paragraph-long message about how I’m terrible at keeping in touch and probably ignored the call on purpose. Ouch. It’s hard not to take things personally, especially when they feel personal. But the truth is, nothing about this...
Hey Reader, Where have I been?: In my last email, I said I was back. I was back from Europe, but then I disappeared again. I owe you a massive apology for my radio silence. Life has been a rollercoaster lately, and I'm here to explain what's been up. I have exciting news to share – I'm going to be a mom! Baby is on the way, due in February, and I'm on cloud nine. Truthfully, I'm on the couch. It's a whole new adventure, and the countdown has officially begun. Over the past few months, I've...
