Notes de l'éditeur
To be a valuable attribute to society and to my career, I have positioned myself as a positive and constructive brand. In this branding process, I have discovered a method for positioning relative to competition. My personal brand will advance after completing the graduate education program at Franklin University. Also, in order to maintain a quality brand image, I will need to work on brand management periodically throughout my life as a brand.
Competition Attributes: to obtain a better education including experience through schooling. Other experience options include non-profit and volunteer projects outside of normal business hours.Biggest Competitors: Other graduates in the program will be competing for similar job placement in the future. Also, co-workers with similar education will be competing for promotions and career advancement in the workplace. Finally, those with more experience (with the same or less education) are strong competitors.

Motivation in graduate school leads to enthusiasm in the workplace. The motivation to succeed in the master’s degree courses can reflect ambition and enthusiasm to succeed in the workplace. Sincerity goes hand-in hand with reliability. Knowing that I will have passed the graduate program at Franklin University poses a reliable characteristic to getting things done.
Intellectually, there are many differences between how others perceive me how and how I will be perceived after obtaining my Master’s degree. This degree adds credibility to my ability to apply knowledge to work experience that I would not have had prior to the Master’s degree program.
In order to maintain high brand equity and a valuable brand positioning, it is important to keep a brand management. In order to manage the brand I will need to work on continuously communicating my positioning statement, “exceptional work ethics aligned with superior education”. I will need to keep working with brand experiences, to convey that I am easy to work with, I provide exceptional quality of work, I’m a valuable asset to the company, and previous outstanding training makes me the quality brand that I am. It is also critical to periodically audit strengths and weaknesses. By performing bi-monthly SWOT analyses, I will better manage my brand and turn weaknesses into strengths.
Graduate education offers many experiences and tools for skill advancement through the course programs. Although current key attributes to my brand will remain, they will progress into remarkable proficiencies. The growth offered through the Marketing and Communications graduate program will further surge brand credibility, raise accountability levels and increase brand equity. This overall brand improvement will position me as an irreplaceable asset to the professional environment and maintain brand management through periodic audits of strengths and weaknesses.
