YOUR BRAND: FROM HEAD TO FOOTNOTE, TOP TO BOTTOM-LINE
Branding means a lot of things to a lot of different people - but at its core is getting to your core.
It's not about logos, color palettes, websites, and photos (not yet at least - that stuff comes later).
It's really about the strategy, the story, the substance that is behind it all.
When you are the face of your brand, the heartbeat of your business, the multi-faceted, unique individual that you are, your brand is first and foremost about YOU.
Because if you don't know who you are as a brand - how will they (aka your customers).
It's about:
1. Getting crystal clear on who you are, what you offer, and what makes you incredinly unique
2. Offering a strategic and unique point-of-view
3. Clarifying your distinct ability to make an impact, increasing your perceived value...not to mention actual value
4. Leveraging and embodying your story - one that's worth retelling...
5. Originating a unique and compelling concept that creatively connects all of your dots - ensuring sustainability + cohesion across touchpoints.
6. Communicating all of the above - visually, verbally, and viscerally through a unique-to-you style.
And it just so happens that's exactly what we do around here.

THE BIRTH OF PUBLIC PERSONA
I waved goodbye to my commercial career to merge my passion for styling with my branding expertise, extensive experience + my desire to be able to use my talents to help individuals build a bold, incredibly consistent brand. Public Persona Studio was born - To provide the very same strategies, techniques, and discerning eye that I've brought to big brands to rule-breaking, name-taking female entrepreneurs + thought-leaders.
