Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent and personal branding expert, highlights how creative marketing can showcase your personal brand
Orlando, Fla. – September 14, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., recently posted a blog on his website http://www.CelebrityBrandingAgency.com, discusses the importance of creative marketing, citing an example from legendary rock band Cheap Trick.
The latest blog, titled “Personal Branding Tip: Choose To Be Different!” explains how Cheap Trick released their most recent album on 8-track, along with the more traditional mediums, and how they’ve been able to use this as a superb marketing tool. The piece includes the following excerpt:
Being involved in personal branding with our branding agency, this got me thinking about niche marketing and how personalities and businesses can use quirky and unorthodox branding and marketing methods to add to the desired perception of your brand.
I think this was a brilliant idea by Cheap Trick. I’ve always believed that when planning your marketing strategy, it’s always a good idea to see what others are doing, and do the opposite! Now, I’m not saying that you should neglect some of the more obvious forms of marketing – advertising, email campaigns, direct mailing, etc – but find that niche of your industry that you can also try to serve as well.
The music business is certainly a crowded marketplace – much like many other industries. Think of ways that you can separate yourself from the noise and stand out when it’s time for you to push a new product or service.
