How branding influences individuals as well as corporations
For over ten years, Catherine was SVP, Director of Global Advertising and Community Affairs at Citi Smith Barney and Shearson Lehman Brothers.
And Catherine developed and taught a graduate-level course in branding and marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
You Are a Brand!
Catherine came to appreciate that branding’s greatest potential was to help people not just for products— it’s for individuals to define and own their career identity and create their own business success.
That’s why Catherine launched SelfBrand LLC, a New York City-based branding company and wrote the award-winning book, You Are a Brand! winner of the Ben Franklin award for Best Career Book 2007 and a bronze IPPY award. And she became active as a keynote speaker and workshop leader on personal branding and being a brand ambassador for your company to increase business success.
