Fantastic presentation!!
Tannie Smith gives pragmatic and easy to understand advice on how to brand and promote yourself. It's great for someone like me who is always unsure how to best approach social media and branding without seeming like a marketing robot.
Absolutely great lesson, and the only one which teaches how to actually brand yourself as a product.
I took feverish notes on everything she said! Great class, Tannie! Such helpful info. Most of us are our own Public Relations guy, and this is valuable info that isn't always intuitive.
This is a great quick class that simplifies the idea of branding in a way that makes sense but contains strong and handy information.
Loved many of the ideas and statements given by Tannie: - Having an umbrella statement - We are the product! -Be consistent on all platforms - Do quality work on quality materials Thank you Tannie for a great class!
Excellent video full of honest, real advice for working through the business side of a creative career. Tannie has an excellent way of giving advice while explaining why it's so important and includes real examples. She's a pro !
Thanks for the course! Great tips and recommendations. Thanks for the book recommendation "Drawing is Magic" I got my copy and love it.
Really enjoyed this video Tannie delivered it in a relaxed and friendly manner, lots of interesting information,plenty to think about when building your brand.Thanks!
A polished clear presentation about branding. Really enjoyed it answered quite a few questions I had in my head. Great Video :)
