Today, potential clients and hiring managers carry your reputation with them in their back pockets. In our ever-increasing digital world, your online presence leaves a perception of who you are and how you add value. If not managed, your online profile can quite literally, cost you opportunities.

However, if managed properly, your digital brand can bring opportunities to you as well as boost credibility in your career. As we continue to move more and more of our personal information online, what people find when they search for us will make the difference between staying the same or reaching our full potential.

During this webinar series, you will learn how to craft your digital brand by building a brand message that resonates, focusing your message online, and finally, connecting with your audience the right way. Learn these digital marketing techniques for your own career development or to coach your clients on their digital brand in a digital-first world.

Your online presence matters - what does yours say about you?
