Building a Personal Brand: Jacob Cass at TEDxCMU 2011

Jacob Cass, a prolific graphic designer in New York talks about how building a personal brand and effective use of social media got him out of some interesting debacles in life.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Thanks, this was really helpful!
Another thing you want to do in building your brand is to use your social media to help others to promote their work. By doing so you build a lot of good will and you end up reaping what you've sown. :)

WE LOVE YOU JACOB CASS

[@heartdrivenleader]

As a business branding coach for network marketers I loved this video. I have been a branding junkie for several years now and know how powerful it can be to a person's professional and personal success. Great video!

[@MeetRayka]

I came to know him from Instagram. Amazing guy

[@anthonysimons1615]

Hey Jacob, Just have to say thanks mate! Haha I say thanks in advance because you unknowingly have been a great inspiration for me to get my creative world back heading towards awesomeness! Looking forward to the adventure ahead!

[@AnitaJust]

Thank you! Your reviews are amazing - it's like they all want to have your baby! And now I see how you are just as they say - professional - whilst at the same time friendly and easy going. Perhaps nervous but definitely not arrogant!
Your work now.... your work is truly amazing. Your logos are just crazy good - you are and artist as well as a communicator - a rare combination.
Thanks for the great ideas - I will refer back to this as I go along.

[@michaelcobbin]

Excellent video for someone who wants to build a stronger personal brand.

[@Mena142]

[@tigah777]

i like how it was really broken down -the steps now anyone in any field can do this

[@Booggie061659]

GREAT content but not so great presentation

[@Hannibal941]

Ok, new drinking game:
Every time he says:"And aaah." You drink!

[@ricksongracie618]

There seems to be so much fluff in this...Takes forever for him to actually start discussing branding.

[@Nantchev]

+Jared Sterk That is why I set speed to 1.5 /2 for most videos- just to get to the point easier and hurry the video up.

[@JeffreyRufino]

Stories sell ideas.

[@tamrujad.5591]

[@igMac97]

It would have been nice to see what hes talking about on screen instead of him speaking

[@flowersafeheart]

"I went home on my kangaroo." Haha

[@RajaSandhu]

I commend you Jacob

[@ssaxby02]

I liked the "tribe" theory. Something to work on...

[@CiprianHanga]

Very informative but he gets so anxious around the 10:00 mark that his chokes become distracting. He is sweaty and you could tell is scared to death. Too bad, because otherwise this subjectis is very interesting for me.

[@laslentejuelassv]

he's perfect =)

[@ByslicGaming]
