Turning People On Between Their Ears with Amanda Cromer #010

Dark Branding Expert Amanda Cromer

She is still making waves in the personal branding world today. Though this interview is five years old, it’s still an old favorite of mine! And her words, “Turning people on between their ears,” continue to endure in my brain so many years later.

I love cerebral branding. In fact, content that makes your audience THINK is one of my best suggestions for cutting through the noise and making a name for yourself. (Yes, even in today’s ever-more-crowded online business world!)

Ready for some guidance on the best ways to use your online presence to do just this?

The Visibility Accelerator is the best way to create content that does turn your best client on between their ears, track that content, and learn to reuse your best work so you can do less in the realm of content creation and more of what you do best: serving your clients.

Amanda Cromer is a personal branding specialist who specializes in transformative storytelling. In a sense, what she does is so much larger than branding as she’ll tell you later in the show. She’s a powerhouse and taught me a few things about perspective changes regarding my chosen topic of expertise!

From Amanda: “I work with women to give them confidence, clarity and control in their personal brand. I do this by extracting the unique personal story of my clients – then show them how to build services, audiences and platforms out of those stories. I use my 20+ years of editorial, media, marketing and publishing experience (plus my creative vision, intuition and insight) to turn ambitious women into works of art. I truly love – and excel at – crafting women’s stories into something spectacular.”
