Why Branding (promoting) oneself is important

Branding is what companies and famous people do all the time. For example, As FedEx took over a company like Kinkos, FedEx labeled that company to FedEx Kinkos which eventually became FedEx Office. 

In the same way, branding ourself can help interested parties remember you or what you stand for, etc. When I working with the media ministry, I was responsible for the song/sermon backgrounds during the worship services and as well the mouse clicker behind the scenes. I created a few business cards with the label, The Mouseclicker as the title, thus the name of this blog. It helped with introducing myself to several people at the major worship conference in Nashville. 

I'm done a similar thing in Toastmasters. When COVID19 hit in 2000, Toastmasters clubs and the contests begin using zoom. I was responsible for being the timer for our area division contests. That's where I labeled my main zoom slide as Timer Tim. Again, it was a deliberate and easy way for everyone to remember me during contests. Soon after that, I became the unofficial timer for the district.
