This a presentation that I put together for my Project and Portfolio 1 class in December of 2022.
It looks into the beginning stages of my brand's awareness and development. It will serve as the starting basis for my brand as I continue to move through my Sportscasting degree program at Full Sail University.
Though it may not be updated after the initial posting, I encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or wish to ask about updates.

IDENTITY
As a former high school athlete and veteran of our
Armed Forces, I love working towards a common goal.
From sideline interviews to video editing, and
anything in between, I love the atmosphere created by
working to make a broadcast come together. I’m driven
to take the time to master aspects to ensure the highest
quality product is put out. As a coach, I know the
importance of listening and learning, which allows me
to take criticism and adapt from it. I’m sure you read
the quote at the top, right? Well I don’t want to help
your product stay put, I want to help it stand out. So
reach out and let’s discuss how I can make that
happen!!
3. PROFESSION
Potential Job Titles:
• News Analyst
• Sta
ff
Writer
• TV News Anchor
I want the world to look at what lays
beyond the scores and stats. Focus on the
true stories of perseverance and
fi
nd a
way to apply them to your life. Look for
the motivation to not only enjoy things,
but to learn life lessons from them as I
did growing up. I aim to bring that angle
to life with each story I cover.

14. SHANE SALCEDO
You know how drawing attention to a brand is di
ffi
cult? Well, what I do is draw them
in with a di
ff
erent angle of looking at something. In fact, I not only change the angle, I
urge the consumer to check out exclusive content and saturate the content with that
brand and the angle I want them to
fi
nd.
