RReemtireemesber the Brand

Everyone has a personal brand that
people remember and equate to them –
it can be your personality, the way you
interact, your mood, or maybe the way
you dress. The same goes for companies.
Our outward appearance and the way
we present ourselves reflects on how our
customers and the general public
perceive us.
