Personal Branding for Scientists and Engineers

Fri October 29, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Science is complicated. Marketing it doesn’t have to be! If you struggle with how to market your business in a cost-effective way that achieves real results, you are not alone. In science-based fields especially, knowing how to transform complex subject matter into compelling messaging is critical to grabbing your audience’s attention and persuading them to buy. To make matters even more challenging, there are limitless marketing tools and platforms to choose from, so you constantly feel like you’re investing time and resources without moving the needle.

What you will learn:

  • Define your professional identity; 
  • Create a thought leadership strategy; 
  • Adopt consistent visuals across platforms (headshots, images, tone of voice);
  • Develop your own unique messaging;
  • Create content and social strategy to amplify your message;
  • Leverage platforms like LinkedIn to achieve your goals (get a job, start a business, grow your career, etc.).
