andeducate others in
myprofession.
Who am I?(and why do I matter?)

SWOTStrengths Weaknesses Opportunitie
sThreats
•Passionate about the topic I am discussing
•New to many social media channels such as blogging and Twitter
•Many volunteer opportunities where I can utilize my skills combining art and PR
•My brand may limit me to someone who only focuses on the visual as opposed to the written, or audible aesthetic
•Sociable and outgoing with a critical eye
•Difficult to know everything that is going on in this area and stay current and relevant
•As I develop my knowledge of social media it will allow me to get my message out to a larger audience
•Since I am still new to public relations and social media people may not view me as a credible source
Knowledgeable about art and visual culture, educational background in art
•There are people that have more experience than me in this area, so it is challenging to say something new, that hasn’t already been said
•As I develop my brand more I will meet more people with similar interests who I can add to my network.
•I have other interests which I will not be able to discuss and develop since they do not fit in with my plan
Strategies
1. Increase my online presence (what will you get if you Google me?)
2. Build a network of likeminded individuals as well as people who would like to learn more about what I have to say
3. Become an authority on the issues I discuss in my brand so that people come to me when they want answers
4. Share my knowledge with as many people as possible
Tactics
1. Keep my blog and Twitter account up to date2. Attend and volunteer at events relating to my brand
where I can share my knowledge and skills while building my network. Additionally, join PR organizations such as IABC and CPRS.
3. Read as many blogs, magazines and newspapers as I can to ensure that I am fully educated on issues and that I am current.
4. In addition to social media look into other vehicles for brand exposure so that I prove my authenticity and don’t appear one dimensional.
