There are two types of branding today. One is personal branding and the other is business branding. Simply speaking, personal branding is quite easy to carry out considering you can manage it single-handedly. The only thing you need is ability, talent and skills and you can actually sell any product out there. Your personal brand or image is already out there and before your niche; all you need is promotion. On the other hand, business branding is a bit complex and a time consuming endeavor. Smaller businesses and start-ups find personal branding to be a little bit easier. It’s actually a faster way of promoting success and growth and can actually help to build business branding.

Personal branding

As already mentioned, personal branding is build around a person. The clients and the person are in one-to-one relationship. A logo isn’t required since a professionally taken profile photo or portrait will do.

Business branding

Business branding is generally built around a common identity and crafted around the “ideal” customers or target audience. Here a logo is required and whatever you’re selling is an idea or something that audience or target audience can easily relate to.
