Your name is already your brand. Put your signature underneath it.

Your name is your personal brand — even if you've never called it that. You run a business you're proud of. You help clients forward, deliver quality and think creatively alongside them. And yet… it remains quiet. No spontaneous enquiries, no invitations for collaborations, no real visibility.

Meanwhile, you see others (also entrepreneurs of your calibre) appearing on podcasts, at events, in inspiration lists. They seem to attract clients effortlessly. And this whilst you're at least as good at what you do.

What do they have? No secret trick. They have a strategy behind their personal brand.

Why do people prefer to buy from people?

Trust is at the heart of every purchase. Research by Edelman shows that 63% of consumers are more likely to buy a product from a person they trust than from an anonymous company. That makes your personal brand not a luxury, but a business necessity.

We live in a time when trust in anonymous companies is declining. People want to know who they're doing business with. Who you are. What you stand for. What makes you different from the rest.

According to recent research by Edelman, 80% of consumers have more trust in brands they use than in business or governments. Whilst this concerns brands, it emphasises how strongly trust is felt through recognition and repeated interaction.

Personal branding is therefore not at all a trendy term for influencers. It's a way to make your character, expertise and promise visible. Without having to shout over yourself.

Because let's be honest: there are plenty of others who do the same as you. But no one who does it like you.

Your name is your personal brand — not your job title

A strong personal brand means that people remember you. That they think of you at the right moment. That they mention your name in conversations with others. Not because you're shouting everywhere about how good you are, but because your story makes sense. Because you clearly show who you help, with what, and why.

When I started with my own brand, I trusted in my work. In my portfolio. But it turned out not to be enough. Only when I began translating my vision, voice and style into a brand story that suited me did the snowball start rolling. People recognised me, began following me, came to me instead of to the umpteenth 'good designer'.
