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!
