I guess...I'm an influencer now? This weekend Semrush hosted an influencer weekend, but instead of sending your regular influencers they sent the people behind the brand campaigns, the people behind the online communities, the people managing multiple social media channels: they sent the marketeers, the founders. ...and I was one of them (eeek). Let me tell you, I am overwhelmed by the AMOUNT I learned from the people around me. When you are in a room of people that are passionate about the same thing as you, people that are years ahead of where you want to be, people you've looked up to for years...the value exchange is wild. I think this proves the importance of personal brands as myself and a lot of people invited wouldn't class ourselves as 'influencers' but in this moving digital world people behind the campaigns, billboards, communities, social media accounts are having a lot of influencing power. I will gladly and proudly take the influencer title if I can keep meeting people like I did this weekend...absolute POWER HOUSES. Thank you Semrush
Personal branding is going to be the only kind of branding eventually. It wasn't even a concept to me, having started all this in 1998, so imagine having 20+ years of battlefield experience and then being made to explain to idiots checking my gravitas what a good backlink strategy that I may use is, or what tools I use and why. Argh it was the worst, I just wanted all that to be self-evident so bad that I finally just wrote a damn book, so they can see my entire marketing skillset showcased from start to finish as I unleash it upon the world, then they can read it and then they'll understand what I am.
What 👏 an 👏 awesome 👏 weekend 👏 Till we meet again!
