		<description>This is so topical Dan.  There is plenty of discussion and thought to be had around personal brand v your business brand!  As you know, I am going through a rebranding exercise for my business right now, and I have struggled with this.  Jobdig is a great business where the business brand reflects the qualities of the personal brand that is G.L. Hoffman.  Stay in touch..</description>

		<description>Dan, thanks for another compelling post.

As an entrepreneur finding my way as a brand and getting my sea legs navigating social media, I&#039;m hopefully getting a handle on what you noted:

&quot;Customers will be purchasing based on your brand, as well as the offering.&quot;

This makes absolute sense, and seems obvious seeing it on the page, but I guess I hadn&#039;t quite put it together as you did.

I feel extremely fortunate that, in my practice as an executive resume writer, my work feels like a hobby. I&#039;m truly &quot;digging my job&quot;. So many job seekers who come to me can&#039;t say that about themselves. One of the greatest things about my work is helping my clients get to that place, within and in the marketplace, where they can dig their work too.

I encourage them to nurture their network and be remembered by going the extra mile, as you say in your take-aways, and communicating to some extent by regular mail. Things like sending a quick hand-written thank you note for a helpful conversation or complimenting those they know and/or admire on a great presentation, blog post, or article. 

Taking that kind of time and consideration are so rare they can be tremendously impactful.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve just had a look at JobDig and I can see what you mean - I&#039;m a big fan of fun character that embodies the spirit of a company like the dog in this instance. It&#039;s something I can relate to and would be more attracted to than a dull lifeless logo.</description>

		<description>Dan...hey Dan, thanks.  Just so you know, (and I am sure you do), this came about most definitely NOT only because of me.  We have over 80 people here at JOBDIG, and every day they are promoting and living the JOBDIG brand to their customers and prospects.  A brand only becomes a brand when customers recognize it as such after they have learned to trust and believe in your company.  This is not a one person activity.
