CEO Branding & Personal Branding Services

Each year I work with a small number of Executives and CEOs to identify and effectively communicate what makes them relevant and memorable. Developing ideas and platforms, especially online, to optimize their reputation, increase their visibility and attract, this way, more clients and opportunities for themselves and their companies.

Personal Branding is essential when PR and Web Marketing are not enough and you need instead to come up with a relevant and authentic message and it supports all the various promotional strategies. For this reason, I work as a true key partner for my clients: I collaborate with their marketing departments, interacting with advertising agencies, PR and social media marketing.

I differentiate not only for my long experience (I was one of the first to specialize in this job in world and worked with Fortune 100 CEOs), but also for my Design Thinking based approach and tools such as the Personal Branding Canvas.

Training, Events and Lectures

I have collaborated on Personal Branding and Career Design with institutions such as SDA Bocconi, ESSEC Paris & Singapore, SIM Singapore, WHU Düsseldorf, Bath SoM, IE Madrid, St. Gallen (CH) and POLIMI. My approach is very practical and experiential, thanks to visual and design thinking practical tools.

In my workshops, students learn the practical logic of Personal Branding and Work Modelling and implement a prototype of their strategy.
During my workshops they learn a methodology they can apply for the rest of their career.
I use many examples, case studies and multimedia elements (video and images). In short, rarely my slides contain bulleted lists!
