Chris Sedlak, Public Relations and Social Media Manager for PwC, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss how the right personal branding on social can jumpstart your career, cultivate prospects, and turn customers into advocates.

We all know that it is important, as marketing professionals, to maintain some level of personal branding outside your employer. It allows you to practice and hone your craft while making you a more marketable subject matter expert in the field.
One aspect of personal branding that can be overlooked is its importance to building a company’s customer base.
An employee that is active and familiar online can draw positive attention to your company. By being associated with a well-known and respected persona, prospects are more likely to become customers and customers are more likely to become advocates.
In order to ensure this mutually beneficial arrangement prospers, leadership needs to be on board and supportive of an employee’s personal branding. Chris takes this one step further by directly offering guidance and opportunity for staff to develop and disseminate their personal brand outside of work.
He has seen this approach pay off in spades through corporate hashtags that reach viral status and prospects that immediately recognize and comfortably engage with employees.

In This Episode

  • Why success on social for any brand means a strong and collaborative relationship with leadership
  • How building the social confidence of your subject matter experts leads to better campaigns
  • Why an impactful employee engagement effort means selecting a platform that reflects their interests
  • How active employees on social leads to client retention, loyalty, and advocacy through enhanced brand awareness
