JW Dicks, Esq., business strategist and personal branding expert, along with Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent, offer personal branding tip: forget what YOU know.

Orlando, Fla. – August 30, 2010 – Co-founders of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling authors, Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent and JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, were recently named Top 10 expert bloggers on FastCompany.com.

In one of their recent blog posts, titled “Personal Branding Tip: Forget What YOU know,” Nick and JW discuss the value of forgetting what you know, and start thinking more about what your audience knows.

“What I want to encourage you to do is forget what you know and start thinking about what your audience knows–their knowledge set is very different from yours. You don’t know where to begin because you think everyone knows what you know, it feels like common sense you know it so well, but it’s not,” write Dicks and Nanton.

“The most profound information is the stuff that’s simple, basic and easy to comprehend and most likely, you’ve forgotten about it because you know the basics so well,” continued the authors.

JW Dicks, Esq., business strategist and personal branding expert, along with Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent, recently discussed Lady Gaga’s Personal Branding.

Orlando, Fla. – August 26, 2010 – Co-founders of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling authors, Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent and JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, were recently named Top 10 expert bloggers on FastCompany.com.

In one of their recent blog posts, titled “Personal Branding Goes Gaga,” Nick and JW discuss the personal branding aspects of Lady Gaga’s ambitions to produce and star in the next blockbuster music movie.

“From our brand positioning perch, we naturally applaud the next expansion of the Gaga brand but would hope that someone in the Gaga camp thinks strategically and doesn’t just jump from project to project without focus,” write Dicks and Nanton.

“There is clearly lots of money to be made from her growing brand and fan base, but at some point you have to make decisions on direction if for no other reason than to solidify what you have. This is not to suggest that Lady Gaga go conservative, heaven forbid the disastrous affect of that. On the contrary, it is an urge to focus and fill in the core of your brand base, making it stronger and ready for bigger challenges,” continued the authors.

JW Dicks, Esq., personal branding and business growth expert, discusses the possibility of shifting your personal branding focus.

Orlando, Fla. – August 17, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency® and best-selling author, JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, recently published an article exploring the shift in Sesame Street’s brand focus, and what businesses can learn from it.

The article, titled “Personal Branding: Do You Need To Shift Your Focus,” was posted on August 16th, 2010, on JW’s website, http://www.JWDicks.com. The post includes the following excerpt:

Why am I writing about Sesame Street today?  Because we can all learn a valuable lesson about personal branding from this quintessential American brand.

Sesame Street is a business just like any of ours.  Even when we think that we have developed the perfect personal brand, there may always be an opportunity to change the focus of that brand.  I’m not advocating changing the things that have made your business brand a success, just finding a way to re-focus your brand to a new audience that will not alienate those who have come to trust and respect your brand the way it is.

Is your personal brand built on being wholesome?  Traditional or cutting edge?  Is your brand and reputation built on customer service?  Reliability?

These things do not need to change (and shouldn’t for that matter.)  These traits are ones that will be relevant to generation after generation.  However, the next time you are thinking about how your personal brand can last for generations, think about what each generation finds the most appealing.

Try to think of ways you can re-focus your personal brand that appeals to the new generation – without sacrificing the traits that made your brand the success that it is!

Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent and personal branding expert, asks businesses if they are a “one hit wonder” or a “hall of famer.”

Orlando, Fla. – August 10, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., recently posted a blog on his website http://www.CelebrityBrandingAgency.com, exploring ways businesses can market themselves and build long-term success by expanding their information base.

The latest blog, titled “Are You a One-Hit Wonder?” uses a music analogy to explain how businesses can build their brand and their value by offering more information  through a variety of mediums.  The piece includes the following excerpt:

Ask yourself if the decisions you are making are geared toward instant (and possibly fleeting) success, or the long-term success of your business or personal brand.

Take blogging for example.  There’s nothing wrong with blogging. (You’re reading one now!) But are you ONLY writing blogs or “tweets?”   When was the last time that you wrote a special report or an article series about something in your area of expertise?  Ever write a book?  Are you consistently producing contents in different formats, DVD, CD, printed information products, digital products and more?

It all comes down to the music analogy: Are you releasing singles or albums?  How about a concept album or box set? Are you touring?

What else could you be doing to solidify a career in the business?

Nick Nanton, Esq, The Celebrity Agent and personal branding expert, asks businesses if they have made it to “It Depends” Status.

Orlando, Fla. – August 9, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., recently published an article on his website http://www.DicksNantonAgency.com, explaining how being able to say “It Depends” to your clients means that you have the knowledge and confidence in your abilities to be able to offer multiple solutions to a problem.

The article, titled “Personal Branding: Have You Made It to ‘It Depends’ Status,” explores how businesses can become the “go-to” expert in their industry by having the knowledge and confidence to say “It Depends” to a client’s problem, and then guiding them to make the correct decision to solve the problem.  The piece includes the following excerpt:

Many of our clients are experts in their field and are offering their expertise on their particular niche to those who don’t have the same amount of education and training, etc.  Many of them have used personal branding to brand themselves as the go-to expert in their field.

As many of us get comfortable in our line of work, surrounding ourselves with people who have similar interests, and who work in the same industry – we sometimes forget that there are so many people out there that don’t know anything about the intricacies of what we do – even the things that we think are common knowledge.  When people seek your advice, they are looking for you to cut through the clutter and solve whatever problem they may have.

JW Dicks, Esq., personal branding and business growth expert, discusses Tim Tebow’s NFL contract, Jockey sponsorship and personal branding strategies.

Orlando, Fla. – August 3, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks + Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling author, JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, recently posted a blog exploring the Tim Tebow’s personal branding strategy and what businesses can learn from his latest endorsement.

The latest blog, titled “The Birth of Tim Tebow’s Personal Brand,” was posted on August 3rd, 2010, on JW’s website, http://www.JWDicks.com. The post includes the following excerpt:

This has been an especially exciting couple of weeks for new Denver Quarterback Tim Tebow.  He just finalized his football contract with the Denver Broncos that could yield upwards of $33 Million and he just signed a 3-year endorsement deal with sportswear company, Jockey.

The Jockey deal appears smart because it adds a little interest to Tebow’s clean-cut image without bruising Christian values and the very large constituency of Tebow followers.  He will need to maintain a tight balancing act with the Jockey brand – but that is what he has been doing at the University of Florida for the past four years.
