Abstract

A method and system for developing personal brands is described the method including the steps of: providing a number of activity modules, the activity modules are provided online and are arranged to be carried out by a user in a sequence to develop their personal brand; receiving inputs from users during the course of carrying out a module; generating a module output based on the received inputs; and wherein the module output serves as the input to one or more subsequent modules.

Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEVELOPING PERSONAL BRANDS

Technical Field

The present invention relates to systems and methods for developing personal brands.

Summary of the Invention

In a first aspect the present invention a method of developing a personal brand including the steps of: providing a number of activity modules, the activity modules are provided online and are arranged to be carried out by a user in a sequence to develop their personal brand; receiving inputs from users during the course of carrying out a module; generating a module output based on the received inputs; and wherein the module output serves as the input to one or more subsequent modules.

The module output may include at least one a brand element, a brand promise, a brand ethic or a brand theme.

The module output may include any one of a personal passion, a professional passion or a global passion.

In a second aspect the present invention provides a system for developing personal brands including: means for providing a number of activity modules online, the activity modules are arranged to be carried out by users in a sequence to develop their personal brands; means for receiving inputs from users during the course of carrying out a module; means for generating a module output based on the received inputs; and wherein the module output serves as the input to one or more subsequent modules.

Brief Description of the Drawings

An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a system for developing personal brands; Figure 2 illustrates a programme delivered by the system of figure 1;

Figure 3 shows a BrandMe Window generated by the system of figure 1 ; and Figure 4 shows a Passion Frame generated by the system of figure 1. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

Referring to figure 1, a system 10 is shown for developing personal brands. The system 10 is embodied in an internet connected server computer 12 running suitably configured software under control of an operating system by way of a typical processor and memory architecture 14. Server 12 is connected to database 16 used for storing and retrieving information used in operating the system. Server 12

communicates via the internet 20 by way of router 18 to receive and transmit information used in the system as will be later described.

Users 30, 32, 34, 36 interact with system 10 by way of using their own computing devices, typically desktop or laptop computers, to communicate with server 12. Server presents users with a guided programme which includes a series of activity modules. The modules include a combination of instructional video, images and text which inform the user and guide them in developing their own personal brand. Users are required to provide inputs in response to tasks and requests for information. These inputs are used to generate one or more outputs from a module. The module outputs are used as inputs to subsequent modules.

Referring to figure 2, a data map illustrates an example of a programme 100 delivered by system 10. The programme includes a number of activity modules which are assigned names Workshop 50, Develop 60, Evolve 70, Formalise 80, Implement 90, Nurture 110 and Empower 120.

During the Workshop activity module 50 a user is required to provide inputs to complete stages of the module. Upon completion of the module 50, the system 10 generates module outputs BrandMe Window 52 and Passion Frame 54.

An example of a BrandMe Window 52 is shown at figure 3 and includes four categories of information including Brand Element 52a, Brand Promise 52b, Brand Ethics 52c and Brand Theme 52d.

An example of a Passion Frame is shown at figure 4 and includes three categories of information including Personal Passion 54a, Professional Passion 54b and Global Passion 54c.

During module 50, the user provides inputs (A, B, C, D etc) in response to onscreen questions or requests for information such as by completing sentences, or choosing between previously provided responses. These inputs are used in preparing the module outputs shown in figures 3 and 4 as follows: Request Response Output

If you were reincarnated as an object or element, A Brand Element 52a what would it be?

Enter 5 words used to describe you B1, B2, B3,

B5, B5

Choose one of Bl, B2, B3, B4, B5 which best B Brand Promise 52b represents how you want others to perceive you.

I promote/believe in ... CI Brand Ethics 52c

I am ... C2 Brand Ethics 52c

I will ... C3 Brand Ethics 52c

Choose two words from Bl, B2, B3, B4, B5, CI, D Brand Theme 52d C2, C3

If I could be doing anything right now I would E Personal Passion be ... 54a

How does your passion make you feel? What F Professional emotion or response does it evoke? Passion 54b

How could your passions influence or change the G Global Passion 54c world?

Upon completion of module 50, the user is provided with the module outputs BrandMe Window 52 and Passion Frame 54.

Preferably at a later date, the user continues with the programme 100 by undertaking module 60 Develop. This module builds upon module 50 Workshop. The module outputs BrandMe Window 52 and Passion Frame 54 are used as inputs

BrandMe Window 62 and Passion Frame 64 of module 60. During module 60, a user is required to provide responses to onscreen requests for information and questions.

These onscreen requests and questions refer to their BrandMe Window 62 and Passion Frame 64. The inputs provided by the user are used by system 10 to generate module outputs for this module DEVELOP Worksheet 66 and Image 68. Examples of these onscreen requests include the following: Request Response Output

How do you feel about your Brand Element? What H DEVELOP sort of emotion does it evoke? Worksheet 66

Not delivering on your Brand Promise is a big deal. I DEVELOP It's very important that it means something to you. Worksheet 66 What does it mean to you?

How would you use your theme to inspire yourself? J DEVELOP

Worksheet 66

A good picture can be an excellent source of K Image 68 inspiration for your brand. Search the web, your

personal photos, draw something, and save it.

You'll need it for the Evolve module.

These, and additional, responses are used to generate the module outputs DEVELOP worksheet 66 and Image 68. The DEVELOP Worksheet 66 is not shown. It is a collection of the users responses (H, I J etc). The Image 68 is an image which they have found or created.

Thereafter, the user progresses through the subsequent modules 70, 80, 90, 110 120 in sequence. Outputs from each module are used as inputs for the subsequent module.

By use of system 10, a user is instructed and guided to develop their own personal brand.

Any reference to prior art contained herein is not to be taken as an admission that the information is common general knowledge, unless otherwise indicated.

Finally, it is to be appreciated that various alterations or additions may be made to the parts previously described without departing from the spirit or ambit of the present invention.
