Ohio Growth Summit – Meet Your BIG Personal Brand Panelists

For the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with Mike Bowers and Tonya Wilson, of the SBDC, on building out content for some of the event sessions Ohio-based small business entrepreneurs will partake in at this years Ohio Growth Summit. The event takes place June 9th in Columbus, Ohio at the Columbus State Community College in the Small Business Development Center. I’ve written today’s post so that you can meet the panelists for the BIG Personal Brand Panel that will kick off the event.  I’ve picked these 10 uber-sharp people because they are leveraging personal branding in a wide variety of ways – all of them driving their business efforts.

Talking Video with Nick Jones & Dan Hoffman from Palestra Creative

A few months back, I gave props to Nick Jones, Dan Hoffman and my old friend Eric Leslie for some damn good storytelling, as well as artistic video work they were doing on a project called 6 Degrees of Dublin. While I won’t re-post that clip here, it’s what first put these guys on my radar in terms of their abilities in producing amazing video content. It seems that we’ve spent the last few years sucked into a world where iStock Photo and bland, mass-produced videos have become the norm.  If you’re like me and believe that we are all participating in what I call the Digital Renaissance, then you probably believe that there is a strong movement and call to bring back the inherent artistry to the media we produce. That’s a big theme behind what Nick and Dan do in their work at Columbus-based Palestra Creative. I had the chance to point my own camera at these guys today and get their take on what’s changing in video and the style in which it’s being produced, particularly for the web.  My apologies for the crappy audio and the buzz in the background.  I’m still getting used to using my new Kodak Zi8 and experimenting with a few different external mics to find the right fit.  Back to the drawing board… What’s most important is that you hear in what Nick and Dan have to say? How are you approaching video for your blog or company, or even you personal brand?  Are you open to failure? nateriggsI advise mid-sized & large organizations on how to adopt and use social media to market through organizational culture and better serve their clients.
