Let's Talk About Brand with Christina Garnett

When people in the know hear the word “community,” they think of Christina Garnett. But Christina didn't always start out specifically working in community; her turning point in her personal branding journey was a specific tweet in December 2020: "If you have less than a 1,000 followers and work in marketing in some capacity, introduce yourself to Marketing Twitter.Say hi, tell us about yourself, and what you like to tweet about. Make friends." You'll hear us talk about that tweet a lot in this week’s episode, and how it wound up changing her life and impacting her professional career in great ways. We also discuss what she was doing leading up to the fateful tweet, what she did with it, and how she has weighed her options since–including starting her own business as a fractional CCO (Chief Community Officer/Chief Care Officer) and advisor, helping companies foster better communication with their communities in all sorts of ways.  Listen and learn:Community as a response to COVID-era isolationThe TweetWhy it hitNot overthinking itContinuing to keep it realHaters gonna hatePre-Tweet careerPandemic Medium articleBurnout, vulnerability, reaching out and getting knownWhy people wanted herBeing a connectorData driven strategyThe voice of the communityParasocial relationships with brands, and how personal brands come into play with solidifying that relationshipDeciding not to become an influencerCreating her own job titleWhat drives ChristinaWhy companies need communityWhat Christina specifically brings to the tableThe personal and the professional Find Christina: Twitter LinkedIn ❤️ Get Started on Your Personal Brand Journey with a sampling of Christine's Personal Branding Questions here: https://www.gritmon.com/talkaboutmybrand Subscribe to the Let's Talk About Brand Newsletter that goes out weekly to ensure you don't miss a beat!
