Your brand isn’t just your logo—it’s the way you show up everywhere. And in today’s remote-hybrid world, your virtual presence matters more than ever.

Here are 5 simple but powerful branding tips that help you show up polished and on purpose—whether you’re leading a meeting or recording a video call.

🔹 1. Be Consistent with Color & Style
Use your brand colors and fonts everywhere: in your slide decks, business cards, Canva graphics, and even your Zoom environment. It builds trust and visual recognition instantly.

🔹 2. Clarify Your Core Message
What do you want to be known for? Confidence? Strategy? Creativity? Keep your visual and verbal choices aligned with this message in every setting.

🔹 3. Use a Custom Zoom Background
A tailored Zoom background does more than hide your laundry—it reinforces your brand visually and sets the tone for how others perceive you. From bland white walls to executive steampunk that underscores the practical side of service for my brand, your environment becomes part of your personal story even before you speak.

🔹 4. Show, Don’t Just Tell
Whether you’re speaking, teaching, or leading, let your surroundings and digital assets reflect your credibility. A strong brand shows people you’re serious, without you having to say it out loud. If you’re on a Zoom call and never get to say a word your custom brand background is making connections for you.

🔹 5. Think Experience, Not Just Aesthetics
Your brand is how people feel after they interact with you. So think beyond graphics—what tone do you bring? What energy does your brand evoke?

How I Started My Live Streaming Podcast Journey

Posted on February 15, 2024 by - , ,

Join me, Denise Reed the president of The Concierge Office Suites, in my very first live stream using StreamYard broadcasting over diverse social media platforms—Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube—I am excited about stepping into 2024 with renewed vigor. I want you to be a part of this new chapter. The Concierge Office Suites, a venture that has thrived since 1995, offers insights into private office rental, virtual office positioning, event rental spaces, and business concierge support. This video livestream and podcast opens the door for more individual connections as I promise more exciting announcements for 2024.

In a bid to help others become more effective marketers, I’m determined to stress the importance of sharing your unique story. Through my own personal journey, I discovered that one’s story is a compelling reason for others to care. As I reflect on transformative “a-ha” moments that help me identify the significance of storytelling, I was led to work with a storytelling coach, Melissa Reeves, CEO and founder of Story Fruition.

My commitment to storytelling brought me to a competitive level, where I not only participated in a speech competition but traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to compete. This video below emphasizes the power of starting where you are and sharing your authentic story since it offers a glimpse into my passions and motivations. Check out my personal anecdotes, from working in my grandmother’s gift shop in the Pocono Mountains to supporting my single mother’s professional monogramming enterprise encapsulating the entrepreneurial spirit that led me to establish The Concierge Office Suites.

The live stream below wraps up with an emphasis on the transcendent importance of personal stories to form the bedrock of personal and corporate branding. I urge you, my live-stream audience, to anticipate more engaging and riveting content in the future. Watch, get inspired, and prepare to release the power of your story into the world as I’m sharing mine.
