Welcome back!
Branding? Branding? Branding?
No matter where we go, working in a company or running your own business, everyone will talk about branding. Let me ask you, do you know what is branding/ personal branding?
"Everyone is a brand, whether you like it or not. If you do not brand yourself, others will do it for you."
by Andrew Chow
Branding has been existence since the early ages whereby humans used artifacts and relics to differentiate their cultures and eras.
Slowly, countries began branding themselves by conquering others and to rule over their nation. through influence, they created regional organizations such as NATO and the Commonwealth.
Currently the Asian market as the consumer demands are growing rapidly. Malaysia is one of the fastest growing countries and becoming the 2nd fastest growing economy in ASEAN in 2018.
With our current Information Age companies and brands are branding themselves as the preferred Employer and Employee Engagement.
We have branding for the individuals; everyone is unique, that's Personal Branding. Someone who possessed great values in making their world a better place to live in. Yet, they are not been given the recognition they deserved. These individuals come from a wide industry, who could be a business owner to a great leader among their peers.
We work day and night, and do you know what happening in Malaysia?
There are numerous awards in the market highlighting the best products, services, brands, individuals and companies.
Business awards are getting popular within the business circle. The awards played an important role for businesses, as it is to honour distinguished individuals, companies and brands for their talents and performances; like how we used to get certificates or medals in Secondary school, it present your talents and performances.
Awards help to enhance a brand, individual and company's credibility. However, most business awards in the market currently are targeting at corporation and organization level.
This is how Best Personal Branding Star Award begin, started in Singapore 2017, is to acknowledge these amazing individuals which has impact or left a strong influence on their personal achievements, but NOT their corporate accolades.
Best Personal Branding Star Award honours individuals who illustrate positive impact within their industries. This award recognises their achievements as an individual, personal assets, strengths, skills, and positioning. Many brands are built and managed by their founders and leaders who posses great personal branding. Best Personal Branding Star Award focuses on these leaders, not their brand or company.
