Packed with a treasure trove of things to do tomorrow, next week, and next month, The Brand Called You will help you to build and maintain a Personal Brand. It also includes exciting new profiles of personal brands that pop, and teaches you how to craft an emotionally resonant branding message, create top-quality branding tools, and attract a consistent flow of business.

“If you want to be rich and famous, read this book.”-Al Ries, coauthor of The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding

Format:Paperback
When I read books as such, they are usually packed with common sense, shallow information. However this book really made me understand how personal branding works and it made me rethink some branding concepts. It provides not only knowledge of how to brand yourself the right way (organically), but it also gives you a branding plan for a year, so that you would steadily go towards your goal - establishing a strong brand of yourself.

Because of this book I completely changed my view about how to market yourself. Everything you do either confirms or denies the brand that you try to build. What you wear, what car you drive, what home you live in, your choice of restaurants send a certain message to your audience. That's why it's really important to be authentic and consistent with your personal brand. People nowadays see right through you - if you "fake" who you are, your sales information will reflect that.

Every page of this book contains plenty of practical information that you can apply straight away. I really encourage you to have a copy of this book if you want to build a strong and attractive personal brand.

Do you own your own business? Then you MUST READ this book! 23 Aug 2009
By Ekaterina Walter - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I got this book as part of my research of a "personal branding" topic. Out of tens of books that I read, this one was the only one focusing on not only personal branding, but business branding. I loved it! Full of very ACTIONABLE tips, great advice, wonderful examples, it is an easy read and actually rather captivating. If you own a small business or thinking of owning one in future, it is truly a must read for you! Let this book help you delight your customers (and focus on the right ones!), market your business correctly and most importantly grow it.

Advice for Montoya and Vandehey 6 July 2009
By Architect of Skin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
What I really like about this book are:

1) The inspirational personal brand stories, where we learn how now-famous personalities used their personal brand to leverage their growth.
2) Specific action steps--what can be done today, what can be done in a week, etc.--a reader can take to slowly build a personal brand.

While a lot of the activities aren't new, Montoya and Vandehey structure the book's contents like a personal branding program or workshop. As a reader goes through each chapter, a different set of activities are offered for implementation.

My advice to Montoya and Vandehey is to release a The Brand Called You action diary for 2010, with each month preceded by action steps as detailed in the book.

A Practical Guide that Makes Sense Out of Personal Branding 18 Mar 2009
By L. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I disagree with one of the previous reviews about The Brand Called You being a pitch for Peter Montoya's services. I read the book and not once does it seem like a come-on for a marketing agency. Instead, I found it to be a refreshing, candid and practical guide to making some kind of sense of the idea of branding--which frankly, can be wildly confusing and cost a lot of money if you don't do it right. In my business, I've already stopped some of the dumb things I was doing and implemented several of Peter's "Things you can do in a day" and "Things you can do in a week." I think anyone with a professional practice or a business can benefit from reading this book...if nothing else, to get validation of what they're already doing right!
