Like what I’ve mentioned in my previous articles, today we are in the connection economy crafting a personal brand with emotional marketing. Each and every branding photo + video should tell a story.

Here are the tips on how to magnify your brand using branded videos and photos:
- Granting that the right photo has been shot, Use it or post it across all of your online accounts, like social media. A well-crafted video or photo doesn't have to be further explained, but can be easily understood with just a glimpse of an eye.
- Get more social media followers, fans and likes by prioritising the social networks where your fans are likely to be like. Different industries or businesses are creating social media accounts everywhere, but as time goes by you will notice where your loyal fans or target markets are. Post more updates in that account.

Take time to research your buyer's persona so you can find out where they hang out in social media or even at offline events

- Promote your social presence everywhere. Choose your post carefully and it should showcase your expertise.
- Share useful, valuable content in your industry. Master the 80/20 rule. 80% useful content for your industry and 20% personal or other posts.
