Just seeing this now…how adorable were you? I was in the marching band, too (and jazz, and symphonic: tenor sax, clarinet, and oboe. Gotta love us band geeks!). I like your ideas about half-owned brands and the responsibilities thereof. I’m too often crossing lines since I am presently unaffiliated. It’s tricky, deciding how much “me” to put out there, and guessing at where the lines actually are. We’re all pioneering this, I suppose. Because the days of perceived privacy are gone, baby, gone.

[...] Doug Haslam is a great example of a personal brand that matters. He is not Internet famous for sheer popularity. His brand means something in the social media marketing world because he brings value to the table. I respect what he brings to SHIFT (see his take on personal brands here). [...]

I just started blogging without asking permission from the company. It was risky but now they all ask me for blogging advice. I think it is foolish to try to protect and build walls around an organization. We should all be trying to break down barriers between ourselves and others, especially our customers. Personal branding is everything.

I just think it is very cool that Todd would follow you over to this “personal” space too. The so-called rules of employment, identification/affiliation, client-promotion and self-promotion might not be changing, but I think it is a great time to think about possible conflicts and potential benefits.

“Asshat” is an underused pejorative. Just sayin’.
