Digital YOU

Real Personal Branding in the Virtual Age

In this game-changing guide for success in our current WFH environment, William Arruda helps you translate and transform your real-world brand for the virtual world. Today, most first impressions are formed online. That means your career success is linked to how well you master digital branding. Clearly, if you don’t show up in Google, you don’t exist; but just being visible is not enough. You must align your bits-and-bytes brand with the flesh-and-bones you. And you need to use the right combination of social media, video, and other online tools to demonstrate what makes you great so you can remain on the radar of those who are making decisions about you. Digital YOU provides the ultimate roadmap for building and promoting your authentic and compelling personal brand in the virtual world.
