Societal altering shifts in a matter of years

Some current challenges


So, who can you trust?


Politicians?

Uber-corporations?

The Media?

It’s time for a change


YOU tell YOUR story

YOU grow YOUR brand

The Brand called YOU

“Personal Branding is the process
whereby people and their careers
are marked as brands.”


“Big companies understand the importance of brands.

Today, in the Age of the Individual,
you have to be your own brand.”

Tom Peters - Fast Company 8/2007

Job hunting through Personal Branding

“I think it’s important to maintain my personal brand, separate from the company.
Especially since I worked so hard over the past year to build it —
it would be a shame to let it go.”
Rachel Levy (@bostonmarketer)

The Rise of a Renaissance Period

RenGen: Renaissance Generation

The good news:
We are on the brink of a Renaissance.

The bad news:
Many still see America as a cultural
wasteland defined by reality television
and fast food.


RenGen Desires

• Desire to express ideas aesthetically
• Renewed interest in learning
• Interest in enlightenment
• Taking a stand on issues


Social Media cultivates the RenGen spirit
