Personal branding is the process whereby people and their careers are marked as brands.
• It has been noted that while previous self-help management techniques were about self-improvement, the personal branding concept suggests instead that success comes from self-packaging.
• Further defined as the creation of an asset that pertains to a particular person or individual; this includes but is not limited to the body, clothing, appearance and knowledge contained within, leading to an indelible impression that is uniquely distinguishable.
• The term is thought to have been first used and discussed in a 1997 article by Tom Peters
