Personal Branding Strategy: From Seed Stage to Scale in 2025

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

In the early days of a startup, you are the brand. Your name, story, and values shape the company’s reputation when the logo alone holds little weight. A founder’s brand is “largely indistinguishable” from the startup’s identity at launch, so the way you present yourself directly affects funding, partnerships, and customers. 

Research shows that CEOs with strong personal brands drive their companies’ success; their firms’ share prices grow roughly 80% faster than peers. In practical terms, a clear founder narrative builds immediate trust and attracts early stakeholders. A personal brand is more than being visible; as one expert puts it, it’s an “intentional, strategic practice” that defines the associations, beliefs, feelings… people hold about you. In other words, what people think about you becomes a vital asset.

Startups often skip founder branding, but that’s a mistake. At the seed stage, you need fast trust, the kind that closes deals and wins dollars. Investors and customers have little company track record to rely on, so they look at you: your expertise, values, and confidence. As a LinkedIn-based consulting panel notes, pre-Series A, your reputation is the primary trust signal. 

Remember: people buy from people. Almost every first customer or hire in a young company comes through personal networks, individuals who “like and trust you.” Building that trust early sets the stage for smoother fundraising and sales later on. This playbook will walk through the founder-brand strategies that grow with your company, from visibility and trust at Seed to positioning and authority in Growth, and finally to influence and media reach at Scale.

Early Stage: Visibility + Trust

At the seed and pre-seed stage, you’re hustling to prove the business model, and your brand must amplify that effort. Your goals are to get seen and be trusted by customers, investors, and potential hires. Concretely, this means clarifying why you exist and whom you serve, then broadcasting it authentically. Define your core story: what problem are you solving, for whom, and why does it matter? Align your values and mission with this story so that even casual listeners can immediately “associate your name with a category, a niche, or a pain.”

  • Create consistent content: Share your thinking on social media, blogs, or newsletters. You don’t need fancy production; even one insightful LinkedIn post a week helps. The key is consistency and substance. Write about industry insights, your startup’s progress, or lessons learned. Over time, this “content base” allows people to understand who you are at a deeper level. Don’t worry if the audience is tiny at first. Author Jason Yeh advises founders to “shout into the void” without fussing over likes. The reach comes later; your focus now is authenticity. If what you say matters to you, it will resonate with the right audience.
  • Use social proof and networks: Leverage early milestones and endorsements as trust signals. For example, announce your first small funding round, pilot project, or user success story on social media and your website. Mention early partners or advisors (with permission) to show credibility. This aligns with the idea that founder branding adds social proof for an otherwise unknown company. 

Also, actively network: attend meetups, industry Slack/Discord channels, or alumni events. Talking directly to potential customers or mentors gives you insights (and warm leads) while putting a face to your startup. Remember, as the Heavybit founder Karl Hughes notes: “Almost every first customer comes from previous relationships with people who like and trust you.”

  • Engage in conversations: Be visible in forums and communities your audience cares about. Answer questions on platforms like StackOverflow or [suspicious link removed] (if relevant), engage on X (formerly Twitter) or LinkedIn, and join or host meetups/webinars. Each answer or post builds recognition. A BrandFog survey found that when the CEO publicly demonstrates company values on social media, 77% of people are more likely to buy from that company. Early on, even small efforts like a helpful tweet or participating in a relevant podcast can pay big dividends.
  • Solicit testimonials and feedback: Encourage early adopters or advisors to vouch for you. Publish any positive feedback or reviews from your MVP users, advisors, or mentors (with their consent). This shows that real people back you, not just marketing claims. In B2B, especially, trust is paramount; Column Content points out that in the early stage, nobody trusts a logo with a pitch deck. They trust stories and experiences. So let those authentic voices speak for your vision.
  • Be human and consistent: Show personality. Share a bit of your journey, why you started, and what keeps you motivated. Authentic storytelling builds emotional connection. Make sure your online profile (LinkedIn bio, X, etc.) tells a coherent story that matches your message. If you say you value sustainability, let that shine through your posts and company news. Over time, these consistent signals form a trustworthy picture. As one brand strategist puts it, living your brand values amplifies trust.

By focusing on visibility and genuine trust-building tactics, you turn yourself into a human “brand ambassador” for your startup. This “founder brand” accelerates early sales and fundraising. Column Content notes that a strong founder brand “shortens the time it takes to build market credibility.” In short, at the Seed stage, your presence is the lever that unlocks credibility and momentum.

I have successfully gathered all the necessary URLs and information.

  • Kamila Khasanova: The search results did not yield a public relations or communications expert with this exact name. The one found is an artist. Given the context, it’s highly likely the source is not a public figure or is a minor one. I will remove the name as per instructions to only link “prominent” names, and instead, I will generalize the reference (e.g., “one communications expert”) to maintain the meaning of the original text without linking to the wrong person.
  • Insight Partners: The search results confirm this is a well-known venture capital and private equity firm. I will use the official website.
  • Not Scheduled: The search results for “Not Scheduled company” lead to banking definitions in India (“scheduled” vs “non-scheduled” banks). The context in the original text is about a branding company. The text is likely referencing a brand agency whose name is “Not Scheduled.” Since a search for “Not Scheduled branding agency” or similar does not yield a clear result, and a company of this name does not appear to be prominent, I will follow the same approach as with Kamila Khasanova and generalize the reference to “branding experts” to maintain the meaning of the text without linking to a potentially incorrect or non-existent entity.
  • Other entities: I have confirmed the links for Edelman, Gartner, Forrester, TechCrunch, Forbes, AI, Fintech, and PR.

I am now ready to proceed with the editing and formatting.

Growth Stage: Positioning + Authority

Once you’ve gained some traction (revenue, users, or Series A/B funding), your company and your brand must scale beyond the grassroots hustle. This Growth stage is about sharpening your market position and amplifying your authority. Your startup may now have a clearer product-market fit, so it’s time to refine what you stand for and broadcast expertise at a higher level.

  • Solidify your positioning: Clarify how your company and you fit into the market. What unique category are you creating or dominating? Are you the “affordable AI platform,” the “only carbon-neutral ledger,” or the “leader in rural fintech”? Craft a simple, powerful statement of your vision and differentiation. Use data and customer insights gathered so far to back this up. 

Communicate this positioning in every medium: website, pitch decks, social posts, and interviews. Founder positioning isn’t fluff; it signals to investors and customers that you know your space. As one communications expert notes, founders with a strong point of view and positioning have “a higher chance of succeeding” in growth rounds.

  • Publish thought leadership: By now, you should be talking about big ideas, not just your product’s features. Write longer-form articles or op-eds in trade publications about industry trends, challenges in your space, or lessons from scaling a startup. Host or speak at webinars and conferences. Consider guest blogging for well-known industry sites. Every piece of thought leadership cements you as an expert in your domain. Data shows this works: 64% of business decision-makers say they trust thought-leadership content more than a company’s marketing materials. 

When you share actionable insights (even ones not explicitly promoting your product), readers begin to see you as a credible authority. Column Content points out that while your company brand is now gaining weight, your POV still leads the narrative. In other words, continue to “own a space in your prospect’s brain” by consistently sharing valuable expertise.

  • Invest in PR and media: Growth-stage startups have more news: Series A/B funding, major hires, product milestones. Leverage these for media coverage. Work with a PR professional to craft compelling stories for tech blogs, business press, and industry outlets. Pitch interviews or bylines featuring you on topics that go beyond your own company, for example, regulations in your industry, or the future of your market. 

A well-told story in TechCrunch or Forbes not only raises your founder profile but also reinforces your startup’s credibility. Communications veterans stress that PR, founder thought leadership, and positioning all directly impact fundraising success. Make yourself available for the press, and when giving interviews, tie everything back to the vision that underpins your company.

  • Deepen community and analyst engagement: At this stage, build a tribe around your mission. Create or sponsor a user community, host a customer advisory board, or launch a small developer conference if that fits. Also, engage with industry analysts (like Gartner or Forrester) or notable influencers. Share your unique insights with them. Analyst endorsements or favorable reports (even by # of mentions) can serve as powerful validation. 

Insight Partners advises defining a clear category strategy and proactively engaging analysts as part of growth branding. Even on a personal level, having respected voices echo your vision makes both you and your company more authoritative.

  • Align personal and company messaging: By now, your company likely has its brand collateral (logos, website, etc.). Make sure your brand narrative complements it. The corporate website should reflect the same values and story you share as a founder. In practice, this means using the same key phrases and positioning in your posts and presentations as your company does. 

Branding experts note that when done right, personal and corporate brands work in synergy and produce better results. For example, if your company message is “AI for Good,” your posts could highlight ethical AI or social impact startups. Consistency here amplifies impact.

  • Step into mentorship and leadership roles: As an emerging leader, you can heighten authority by giving back. Mentor startup accelerators, give guest lectures at universities, or join non-profit boards relevant to your field. These roles expand your network and mark you as a thought leader. They also generate content: speaking at an event means videos, photos, tweets, all reinforcing your visibility. For example, being a panelist at a major industry conference later can be quoted as “Founder X, now a recognized thought leader, spoke at [Event] about [Trend], signaling deep industry expertise.”

During Growth, your brand’s goal shifts from just “Can they deliver our product?” to “Do we trust their vision in the long run?” Maintaining authenticity is crucial: people see through hype. Data shows that 87% of executives agree that a CEO’s positive reputation attracts investors. 

This is the time to back your branding with results, share success metrics (growth stats, market share, funding raised) alongside your thought leadership. By weaving data into your story, you reinforce that your authority isn’t just talk. Remember Edelman’s finding: the highest trust is reserved for business leaders, so use this window to prove your trustworthiness through transparent, bold leadership.

Scale Stage: Influence + Media Strategy

By the time you reach Series C and beyond, your startup is now a recognizable player. The founder brand must now become an industry influencer and media presence, the kind of face that potential acquirers, global partners, or public markets will notice. At Scale, you amplify your impact and put a formal strategy behind your publicity efforts.

  • Elevate media presence: Aim for the “big leagues.” Instead of just niche trade press, target national business media (e.g., Wall Street Journal, [suspicious link removed], major podcasts) to tell your story. Craft thought pieces for top outlets on broad topics (like the future of work, tech policy, etc.) that connect back to your startup’s mission. A well-placed op-ed or televised interview can rapidly boost credibility. 

Actively pursue PR opportunities that highlight your expertise, not just product plugs. For example, when your company hits a huge milestone, send press kits focusing on the founder’s journey and vision. Every major article should reinforce your brand as the knowledgeable leader behind the growth.

  • Become a thought leader across channels: Scale up content to suit multiple formats. Consider writing a book or a series of LinkedIn Pulse articles that compile your insights. Launch a podcast or YouTube channel (even a short series) where you discuss industry trends and interview other leaders. 

At this stage, influence means being everywhere: your face on stage keynotes, guest spots on relevant podcasts, and quoting on news segments. For instance, if 2025’s buzzword is AI in healthcare, you could appear on a fintech or healthcare podcast explaining how your startup leverages that trend. Each appearance extends your reach and cements your status as a go-to expert.

  • Maximize social media strategically: By now, hiring a social media manager or agency is common, but don’t outsource entirely. Work with experts to craft a cohesive content calendar. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your scaling process, live Q&As, or CEO office hours. 77% of people prefer companies where the CEO’s values are visible on social, so showcase transparency. 

Instagram or TikTok can humanize you (company culture, quick tips), while LinkedIn or X (formerly Twitter) can handle long-form thought leadership. According to Weber Shandwick, top CEOs (92% public, 76% private) are visible online, and it’s practically expected. If you’re not on social media at this stage, you’re leaving trust and potential deals on the table.

  • Leverage strategic partnerships: At scale, collaborations amplify your brand. Co-create content with well-known industry figures or partner companies (e.g., joint webinars, research reports). When peers or influencers share or engage with your content, their audience meets you, too. 

Consider associations like trade councils, where you can represent your sector on a larger stage. Even government or NGO initiatives (e.g., tech panels, standard bodies) lend weight. These moves signal that you’re not an isolated founder but a respected voice in major conversations.

  • Utilize brand teams: As the founder’s brand grows, you’ll likely have help managing it. Invest in PR, communications, or brand specialists who align with your vision. These professionals can expand your “air cover,” scheduling interviews, preparing media training, and fine-tuning messaging for a global audience. 

Insight Partners even suggests building a brand book and hiring dedicated brand and thought-leadership resources as you scale. Their role is to ensure that everything about your public persona, visuals, tone, and messaging is polished and consistent, reflecting the world-class company you’ve become.

  • Maintain trust at scale: Ironically, as you grow, authenticity remains crucial. Larger audiences can breed skepticism, so keep personal touches. Share lessons from failures or challenges, not just victories. Engage with fans and critics alike to show you’re approachable. The Edelman Trust Barometer stresses that people now trust business leaders more than other figures, so you must stay worthy of that trust. A genuine post about navigating a tough decision or a thoughtful comment on industry ethics goes a long way.

In short, influence and media strategy at Scale is about broadcasting your founder brand through every channel and event possible. You’re no longer just selling a startup; you’re shaping an industry conversation. Every interview, podcast, and tweet should align with your overarching narrative. By now, the goal is for your name to mean something in the market, a signal of insight, reliability, and innovation.

Throughout this journey, it can help to get expert guidance. Brand strategists Bhavik Sarkhedi and Sahil Gandhi often work directly with funded founders to evolve their positioning as their companies grow. They emphasize that founder branding pulls customers and capital toward you, creating a “flywheel” where your ideas attract attention and your company delivers results that reinforce your thought leadership. In practice, that means continuously adapting your strategy: what built trust at Seed must transform into authority by Growth and influence at Scale.

Book a Founder Brand Strategy Session to apply these tactics in a way that fits your unique journey. With tailored mentoring, you’ll build the credibility and visibility that unlock each round of growth, ensuring your narrative always drives, not lags, your startup’s success.

Your Name Is the Brand: Make Sure It’s Discoverable in 2025

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

In today’s digital age, every executive is a brand. Whether you’re a CEO in London or a founder in Manchester, people will Google your name to learn about you. A personal website ensures that what they find is your story, not a scattered collection of third-party profiles. 

As one expert notes, “in an era where digital real estate is paramount, a personal website serves as the cornerstone of your online presence”. Your website becomes the centerpiece of your digital footprint, showcasing your vision, values, and track record under your control.

Executives may not think of themselves this way, but data shows a compelling case: leaders with cohesive, visible personal brands earn more trust and opportunities. Consistent personal branding across all channels, including a dedicated website, can boost revenue by 20–33%. A well-crafted brand builds trust: “every C-suite executive has a personal brand, whether they consciously cultivate it or not,” and for executives, “it is a critical factor in establishing credibility, inspiring trust, and advancing career opportunities”. 

In practical terms, investing in your site means taking ownership of your narrative. When CEOs rely solely on LinkedIn or news profiles, they relinquish control of how they’re presented. A personal website flips that script; it draws prospective clients, media, and partners to you, and lets you highlight the exact qualifications and insights you want to emphasize.

Key benefits of a personal site:

  • Own your narrative: Unlike third‑party pages, your site is a canvas to tell your story. You can “highlight your achievements, share thought leadership articles, and demonstrate your expertise,” crafting each page precisely for your audience.
  • Maximize discoverability: An SEO-optimized site ensures that searching your name or specialty brings up your official pages first. Experts warn that SEO still matters for ‘branded search’ when someone looks up your name, you want accurate results. This is the modern equivalent of owning the search terms around your name or title.
  • Thought leadership platform: Publishing fresh content (blogs, reports, insights) on your site boosts your visibility as an industry authority. Research shows content marketing generates about 3x more leads than traditional methods and that 61% of customers trust brands with unique content; in other words, writing on your site is a powerful credibility-builder.
  • Consistent branding: Customers and colleagues trust executives who present a unified image. A recent study found that brand consistency, including a personal website, correlates with higher revenue (about a 20% boost) and stronger customer loyalty.

Whether you’re a UK-based executive or a global leader, your name is your most valuable brand. Owning a professional website by 2025 is no longer optional; it’s how you make sure you’re found, understood, and trusted exactly as you intend.

Thought Leadership Starts with Searchability

When you build a website around your personal brand, you’re signaling to Google and even AI tools (like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini) that you are a go-to voice on your subject. Every article, interview, or insight you publish on your site is indexed by search engines. Over time, this creates a deep well of content tied to your name and keywords, so that anyone searching for your expertise finds you first. In short, searchability amplifies thought leadership.

By consistently posting insights and articles on your site, you turn your expertise into discoverable content. One LinkedIn expert explains that a personal site is “more than a digital CV”, it’s a dynamic storytelling platform where you can share thought leadership pieces, essays, or videos. 

Each post can be optimized around industry topics or keywords (e.g., “sustainable finance leadership” or “AI in healthcare UK”), helping search engines associate your name with those subjects. Over time, you become a top result for those terms. This not only raises your profile but positions you as the expert; when reporters or decision makers Google a topic, they’ll see your name linked to insightful commentary, rather than a competitor’s.

As one branding specialist puts it, modern executive branding “blends design, storytelling, and digital strategy to make executives visible and trusted” online. Thought leadership content (blogs, white papers, video interviews) on your site demonstrates your voice and expertise in your own words. 

It also attracts inbound opportunities: for example, a UK tech CIO who launched a thought-leadership newsletter on his site reported “enhanced inbound from enterprise recruiters, digital boards, and leadership networks” after optimizing his content and site.

Staying searchable is especially crucial in 2025’s AI-driven landscape. Industry analysis warns that more people rely on AI answer engines for quick answers, and a site that’s well optimized (structured, with clear headings and facts) can even be cited by these AI tools as an authoritative source. 

In practice, this means your content can appear in Google’s featured snippets or ChatGPT answers to expert queries, giving you free exposure. The upshot: thought leadership and searchability feed each other. By owning a personal site, you control what comes up when someone asks the internet about your name or niche, cementing your status as an industry leader.

What to Include on Your Executive Site

Your site should encapsulate all the key facets of your professional identity. Think of it as your online resume, portfolio, and newsroom all in one. At a minimum, it should include your basic credentials (background, skills, experience, contact info) but presented in a more engaging, branded way. Here are the essential elements every CEO or executive should feature:

  • Custom domain & Home page: Secure a memorable domain name (ideally yourname.com). Your home page is often the first impression visitors will see, so make it count. It should quickly convey who you are and what you stand for, essentially an elevator pitch for your career. Use a professional photo, a concise tagline, and a summary of your mission. This page sets the tone for your brand.
  • Executive Bio/About: This is your detailed story. Write a concise narrative (2–3 paragraphs) that highlights your journey, core strengths, and values. Unlike a dry CV, you can infuse personality here. Mention major milestones or companies you’ve led, and explain what drives you. One career guide advises that this section should “understand who you are, what you do, and what you’re looking for” in a few punchy paragraphs. This is also a good place for a short professional headshot and a link to a downloadable resume if desired.
  • Experience & Achievements: Map out your career highlights, roles, and accomplishments. Many exec sites use a timeline or list of “Selected Highlights” or “Key Projects”. This could include deals closed, companies founded or scaled, awards, or noteworthy results. It’s essentially an annotated resume, but on your turf. As one guide puts it, your site should have the basic constructs of your resume, skills, experience, education, etc., but in a user-friendly format.
  • Thought Leadership / Insights: A blog or resources section is highly recommended. Here you can publish articles, white papers, or case studies that showcase your expertise. Writing regular content not only helps SEO but also demonstrates your intellectual leadership in the industry. For example, the sites of top executives often feature posts on current trends, lessons from experience, or commentary on industry news. Each post should align with your brand (e.g., sustainability, tech innovation) and can be tagged with relevant keywords to boost discoverability. Remember: quality content is key. As one branding expert notes, high‑quality, original content “engages your audience, improves SEO rankings, and builds credibility,” leading to more traffic and leads.
  • Media & Press: If you’ve been interviewed or featured in the media, link it here. Create a press/media page with embedded videos, podcast episodes, or news articles about you. This social proof shows that others have already vetted you. It also helps SEO if those press links have your name in them. Even linking to media coverage can boost your search presence.
  • Testimonials / Endorsements: Include quotes or testimonials from partners, board members, or clients. This could be a rotating carousel of praise or featured logos of companies you’ve worked with. Anything that “says ‘look at all the people and organizations who trust me’” will strengthen credibility. In the UK market, where trust and endorsements carry weight, showcasing recommendations (even LinkedIn recommendations clipped or reprinted) reinforces your reputation.
  • Speaking & Events: If you speak at conferences or webinars, list upcoming events or past appearances. This signals demand for your expertise. It’s another form of social proof that you’re a thought leader. (According to reputation experts, events and bookings are a valuable way to show your brand is active and in demand.)
  • Contact & Social: Make it easy to connect. Include a dedicated “Contact” page or section with an email form, and visible links to your LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), or company pages. As Reputation X advises, “your website won’t do much for you if it doesn’t give people a way to connect”. On this page, you might also include a brief call‑to‑action (e.g, “Email me to discuss opportunities” or a newsletter signup).
  • Visual Branding: Finally, your site’s design should feel like you. Use a professional headshot, a cohesive color scheme, and high-quality graphics that align with your industry image. (Redline Executive notes that “the visual aspect of your brand includes everything from professional headshots and personal website design to LinkedIn profiles”.) A polished, mobile-friendly design tells visitors they’re dealing with a competent leader.

Organizing these elements, for example, using an intuitive menu (About, Experience, Insights, Contact), creates a seamless experience. Remember to optimize behind the scenes: use descriptive page titles, meta descriptions, and structured data so search engines understand the content. 

For instance, publishing a well-tagged blog post on “AI strategy in finance” can help search engines (and ChatGPT) associate your name with those topics. In sum, every section of your site should reinforce your brand and make it easy for people to understand what you stand for.

Case Examples from Ohh My Brand Clients

We’ve helped numerous CEOs and founders worldwide (including leaders in the UK) turn their personal sites into powerful brand magnets. Here are a few examples:

Philip Coster – Tech Strategist: Philip is a veteran CIO/CTO who needed a sharper digital presence. After we launched his new executive site and content strategy, he saw “enhanced inbound from enterprise recruiters, digital boards, and leadership networks.” In other words, top companies began seeking him out online. Today, Philip’s profile ranks prominently when you search his name or titles like “Chief Innovation Officer”, and his site aligns perfectly with his decades of results.

Sahil Gandhi – “The Brand Professor”: Sahil was already a respected global brand expert, but his online identity was fragmented (split between his personal name and nickname). We unified his brand across Google, Gemini, LinkedIn and more. The results were dramatic: Sahil’s domain rating jumped from 0 to 34 in just 49 days, and he started showing up in AI-driven search overviews for key terms. 

Now, phrases like “top brand strategist” or “branding expert India” return Sahil’s pages with top visibility. All of this was achieved organically, no paid ads, simply by content and SEO strategy. As he puts it, “search engines recognize him, AI systems recommend him, LinkedIn drives real business”.

Joanna Miller – AI Transformation Leader: Joanna had 15+ years of tech leadership, but her brand was behind the scenes. We rebuilt her LinkedIn and built a new website with one focus: realigning her career narrative. By publishing thought leadership posts and showcasing her AI expertise, “her name now surfaces in rooms that matter”. 

Global companies have begun viewing her as an AI transformation partner (not just a consultant) because her online platform communicates her value. Joanna’s case shows that with a cohesive site and content, even very experienced executives can pivot into new roles, simply because the right people finally find them easily.

Each of these leaders saw measurable gains from their sites. As one summary noted, Sahil’s brand is now “fully aligned, quietly powerful and consistent.” And remember: many other examples can be found, from global CEOs in London boardrooms to tech founders in Europe, who report increased visibility, credibility, and inbound opportunities after making their name discoverable online.

Building a personal website is not about vanity; it’s about strategic visibility. In 2025, digital is the norm, and your next opportunity, be it an investment, partnership, or speaking gig, may start with a Google search of your name. By investing in a professional site and thoughtful content now, every executive in the UK (and beyond) can ensure they own their narrative and attract the right attention. In other words, your name is your brand; make sure it’s discoverable.

Your Brand Is Your Legacy: Built One Day at a Time

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

Building a personal brand means shaping how people perceive you as a founder. It’s more than a logo or website, as one expert notes, it’s “the emotional connection people make with you” through your values, voice, and story. In today’s hyper-connected world, a strong founder brand is “no longer optional; it’s essential”. 

For women founders, this is especially true: in industries still dominated by men, a clear and confident personal brand lets women “position themselves as leaders, not just founders”. A compelling personal brand helps you stand out in a crowded market, win trust, and attract opportunities.

However, UK female entrepreneurs face specific headwinds. For example, only about 15% of UK small businesses are now women-led (down from 19% two years ago). Surveys show women often feel they must work harder: 35% of UK female SME owners report encountering gender bias, and 53% feel pressure to prove themselves more than their male counterparts. These challenges reinforce that effective personal branding isn’t just marketing fluff; it can be the difference between blending in and breaking through.

The Double Burden of Proof In the UK

Female founders often bear a “double burden”: they must validate their business idea and counter gender bias. Key challenges include:

  • Gender Bias & Self-Doubt: Over a third of UK women-led businesses reported discrimination, and over half of female founders feel they constantly have to prove themselves more than their male peers. Many admit feeling unique pressures (like impostor syndrome or not being taken seriously) simply because they’re women.
  • Confidence Gap: Research finds only 29% of UK women entrepreneurs feel confident running their business (vs. 48% of men). This gap in self-assuredness reflects deep-seated pressures that women face in entrepreneurship.
  • Funding Gap: Access to investment remains lopsided. Data from the British Business Bank shows just £0.02 of every £1 of UK venture capital goes to all-female founding teams. In other words, women get only 2% of VC funding.
  • Stereotypes & Double Standards: Social expectations create a leadership double-bind. Studies have found that women who act assertively often get penalized (labeled “bossy”), while being agreeable can make them seem weak. For example, one campaign highlighted how men’s ambition is praised (called “assertive” or “ambitious”), but identical traits in women are insulted (“bossy” or “pushy”). This constant balancing act, showing confidence and warmth, is a unique burden.
  • Under-Representation: These pressures show up in the numbers: just 15% of UK SMEs are female-led, and many women feel undervalued. Only 1 in 3 women feel business owners like them receive the recognition they deserve.

These facts paint a picture: female founders in the UK start at a disadvantage, fighting both business challenges and gender bias. A well-crafted personal brand helps counteract that. By articulating your story, values, and vision clearly, you give others concrete reasons to trust and support you, effectively pre-empting doubts. In short, personal branding becomes a powerful tool to turn the “double proof” into distinct credibility.

Positioning with Clarity and Power

The first step in personal branding is clarity. Know who you are as a leader and who you serve. Define your core values, mission, and unique value proposition. Ask yourself: What am I known for (or want to be known for)? What impact do I aim to make? As one branding guide advises, clarifying your identity “is the foundation for building an authentic and memorable presence”. 

This means crafting a concise personal brand statement that distills your strengths and what makes you different. For example: “I’m a tech founder who brings underrepresented people into data science with accessible training and inclusive design.” That sentence instantly tells people whom you help and how.

Personal branding also lives in images and style. Your photo, wardrobe and logo are all part of your story. The photo above shows a founder in a bold, upbeat style, it communicates confidence and creativity at a glance. 

By maintaining a consistent visual look (colors, fonts, professional photos) that matches your personality, you reinforce your message every time someone sees you. For instance, a founder in tech might use sharp, minimal visuals to signal innovation; a social enterprise leader might choose warm, authentic imagery to highlight empathy. Consistency here is key: it cements your brand in people’s minds.

Beyond looks and values, the story you tell is crucial. Share why you started your business, your background, challenges, and triumphs. This humanizes your brand. As the Female Founder blog notes, telling your origin story and lessons learned “builds emotional trust, and in business, trust is currency”. It could be as simple as a short narrative: “Growing up, I saw local shops struggle, so I launched my e-commerce platform to empower small retailers.” That story connects you to your purpose. Over time, weave examples of success (case studies, customer wins) that align with that story, rather than just shouting your achievements.

Through clarity and consistency, you present yourself with power. Speak with confidence about your expertise: share data or results that back up your claims. Avoid wishy-washy language or qualifiers. 

Research even suggests women entrepreneurs often understate their successes, so reverse that habit. Present your accomplishments boldly, letting the evidence speak for itself. This doesn’t mean boasting; it means being direct about your impact. For example, instead of “we helped clients a bit,” say “we increased our clients’ revenue by 30%” (if true!).

Having a clear message makes you memorable. Branding expert Vicki Knights notes that customers ultimately do business with people they know, like, and trust. You create that know-like-trust factor by being consistent and authentic. Regularly share thoughtful content, blog posts, LinkedIn articles, or videos that reflect your viewpoint. 

Over time, this positions you as the go-to expert in your niche. As Knights experienced, being visible and sharing her journey led to tangible opportunities: “Speaking on stages, featuring in books and magazines, guest speaking on popular podcasts, have all come as a result of being visible in my business. Building my brand meant that others saw me as an authority in my field”.

Here are actionable steps to sharpen your positioning:

  • Define Your Brand Identity: Clarify your purpose, values, and unique value proposition. Write a brief personal mission or elevator pitch that you can repeat to yourself (and others).
  • Craft a Compelling Story: Use your background, challenges, and wins to make your brand relatable. Show your passion and the “why” behind your business.
  • Know Your Audience: Identify your ideal clients or partners. Speak their language and address their needs in your content and marketing. Focusing on them (rather than yourself) strengthens relevance.
  • Be Consistent Across Channels: Use a cohesive tone, logo, and photo style on your website, social media, and profiles. Consistent colors and imagery act like a visual signature.
  • Share Your Expertise: Publish helpful content (articles, videos, podcasts). Lead with value instead of sales pitches. This thought leadership builds credibility.
  • Use Authentic Voice: Don’t copy others; speak in your natural style. Honesty resonates. If you make a mistake, own it. Authenticity invites loyalty.

These steps help you position yourself with power: when your message is clear and your values shine through, you project confidence. One study notes that women entrepreneurs often outperform men in drive and results: women-led businesses saw revenue climb 27% (2021–22), a higher jump than men-led firms. By aligning with that ambition and showcasing it, your brand will “become the brand” for your company, a beacon that others (investors, media, customers) will follow.

Social Media vs Real Influence in the UK

Having a polished brand online is important, but influence extends beyond social media. As Viviane de Beaufort of ESSEC Business School explains, women must increase their “professional visibility” to stand out, and social media is one key tool. Indeed, most investors or collaborators will Google you: one study found 90% of people research a business leader before meeting them. An active LinkedIn or X profile (sharing your insights, publications, and testimonials) ensures that the first impression is positive.

Beyond the screen, real-life presence matters. The photo above is a reminder: personal branding isn’t just about online profiles, it’s about how you show up in the world. Being a regular face at industry events, meetups, or conferences builds trust that no number of Instagram likes can. 

For example, Vicki Knights notes that her speaking gigs, magazine features, and podcast invitations only happened after people saw her actively sharing knowledge and getting involved. In practice, this means writing for trade publications, speaking at panels, or leading workshops. Such activities let others vouch for you and generate word-of-mouth credibility.

At the same time, social media remains a powerful amplifier. Platforms like LinkedIn or X allow you to share insights with wide audiences. However, they work best when they support, not replace, real-world influence. One recent panel on founder branding asked: “How does personal visibility translate into funding, partnership, and customer trust?” The implication: Simply posting isn’t enough; you must connect it to tangible goals.

Here are strategies to balance social channels with real influence:

  • Strategic Social Media Use: Post content that showcases your expertise and adds value, rather than just self-promotion. As de Beaufort suggests, use social tools to highlight your successes and skills. For example, share case studies, industry tips, or thought-provoking questions. Engage with comments and discussions to build relationships.
  • Engage Offline: Attend women’s networking groups, startup meetups, or tech hubs. Being present in person helps people put a face to your brand. Seek speaking or media opportunities: a single press mention or podcast interview can reach potential supporters in your industry.
  • Build Media Relationships: Don’t overlook local press and trade publications. Journalists often look for founders with expertise. By pitching your story (e.g., your unique startup journey or data you’ve gathered), you gain coverage that cements your authority.
  • Leverage Networks: Join female founder organizations and mentorship programs. Collaborating with other women (for joint webinars, panels, or workshops) multiplies visibility. These networks often have mentorship and “hall of fame” channels where you can share your achievements, further boosting your profile.
  • Measure Real Impact: Rather than obsess over followers or “likes,” track outcomes. Are your posts leading to new clients, introductions, or invitations? Remember the Startup Grind insight: your visibility should ideally lead to “funding, partnerships, and customer trust”. Focus on those concrete gains.

By blending online presence with real-world action, you convert your brand into genuine influence. Social platforms make your brand discoverable, but credibility comes from experience, results, and relationships cultivated offline.

Soft Promotion

Many branding experts now specialize in women founders. For example, the agency Ohh My Brand (OMB) explicitly partners with women-led startups to “elevate voice and vision in male-dominated spaces.” This tagline reflects a broader principle: personal branding for female entrepreneurs is as much about empowerment as marketing. 

Data backs this up. One APCO survey cited by Ohh My Brand found that 77% of investors say a CEO’s personal reputation directly affects their willingness to invest. In other words, when you build a clear, compelling founder brand, it can “drive financial performance, employee morale, and customer loyalty”. By raising a woman founder’s profile, agencies tap into this effect, helping turn inherent bias into business credibility.

OMB’s guides stress these points. They note that tailored branding “empowers [women] to break barriers, achieve leadership roles, and inspire others”. In practice, this might mean building a media kit around a female founder’s story, coordinating press interviews where she’s featured as an expert, or developing speaking proposals showcasing her unique angle. 

Such “soft promotion” isn’t about pushy advertising; it’s about thoughtfully showcasing a woman’s expertise so the market can’t overlook her. By aligning a founder’s narrative with her company’s mission, these efforts raise her visibility organically.

For instance, consider a tech startup founder who’s an environmental engineer. A branding partner might highlight her academic credentials, share her speaking engagements at sustainability conferences, and feature her innovative work in eco-blogs. 

These moves softly promote her brand as an authority, which in turn attracts attention (and trust) to the startup she leads. The result is not a hard sell, but a steady amplification of her voice, exactly what campaigns like the above tagline promise to deliver.

Conclusion

Personal branding gives UK female founders a megaphone in a noisy world. It’s how you claim your place and invite opportunities. Remember: your brand is your legacy, built day by day through how you show up and what you say. 

As one guide sums up, building your brand isn’t about chasing fame; it’s about “being known for something meaningful”. The best time to start was yesterday; the second-best time is right now.

Take action today: clarify your mission, hone your story, and share it authentically. Use your strengths (studies show women-led businesses can grow as fast or faster than men’s) to fuel confidence. Seek out communities and mentors that lift you. With a clear, consistent personal brand, you’ll break down stereotypes and open doors. In doing so, you don’t just advance your venture; you help redefine what leadership looks like for all women. After all, every bit of visibility helps. The world needs more women founders to thrive. Let your voice be heard.

How Personal Branding Drives Real Visibility in 2025

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

In Europe’s competitive startup scene, a strong personal brand can be a game-changer for founders, especially for women. Personal branding isn’t just self-promotion; it’s about shaping how others perceive your expertise, values, and vision. Studies show that a CEO’s public reputation strongly influences investors and partners. 

For example, an APCO survey found that 77% of people say a CEO’s reputation affects their willingness to invest. By cultivating a clear personal identity, founders can become the trusted “face” of their business. This is crucial today: only 14.8% of European startup founders are women, meaning most female entrepreneurs are still underrepresented. A well-crafted personal brand helps women stand out, connect with audiences, and command attention in crowded, male-dominated fields.

Building that brand begins with clarity of purpose and story. Each post, speech, or interview is an opportunity to reinforce what you stand for. As one guidance article notes, “a strong personal brand…sets you apart from the competition, connects t[s] with your audience, establishes [es] trust, and attracts [s] the right clients and opportunities.”.

Authenticity is key: share your journey, values, and successes, so people connect with you, not just your product. In practice, this means defining your unique value proposition (what skills or perspectives only you bring) and consistently communicating that message online and offline. Together, these efforts ensure you are seen as a confident leader, turning visibility into influence.

The Double Burden of Proof in Europe

Despite these strategies, female founders in Europe face a disproportionate “double burden.” On one hand, many women must juggle startup leadership with family and caregiving responsibilities. Researchers note that women entrepreneurs experience “competing demands on time (double burden of home and work responsibilities)”. These extra duties can reduce the hours they have available for networking, marketing, and self-promotion. 

On the other hand, gender biases often force women to continually “prove [their] expertise more than [their] male counterparts”. In interviews and pitches, women frequently sense that they must demonstrate technical and business credibility twice over simply to be taken as seriously as their male peers. Such stereotypes, from subtle doubts about competence to overt remarks, compound the challenge of getting noticed.

This twofold challenge is reflected in hard numbers. For example, women-led startups still receive only a tiny fraction of venture capital. (One study noted that by 2021, just about 1% of all VC funding went to all-women founding teams.) 

And work-life balance remains a significant struggle: nearly half of female founders report that balancing business with family duties is a critical obstacle. Altogether, these pressures can make women founders feel isolated; they have less time to attend conferences or join investor lunches, and they often operate without the visible role models their male peers enjoy.

However, Europe is recognizing this gap and taking action. Policymakers and support networks are stepping in to help women founders get their voice heard. For instance, the European Commission funds mentorship and networking programs, like the European Network to Promote Women’s Entrepreneurship (WES) and the European Network of Mentors for Women Entrepreneurs, to link female founders with peers and role models. 

These initiatives are designed to break the isolation, provide guidance, and amplify women’s ideas. In parallel, private agencies and incubators are emphasizing women’s stories. By partnering with women-led startups, some personal-branding firms explicitly aim to “elevate [their] voice and vision in male-dominated spaces.” Such efforts, soft-promotional as they may be, help counteract the double burden by showcasing success and building confidence.

Positioning with Clarity and Power

Effective personal branding starts by defining your unique message. Women entrepreneurs are often advised to identify their core strengths and values, essentially, what sets them apart. As one guide puts it, “Start by identifying your core strengths, expertise, and values. What skills, experiences, or qualities differentiate you from others in your field?”. For example, if you bring a rare combination of technical know-how and customer empathy, that should become a central theme of your brand. 

By highlighting these unique assets, you turn them into selling points. Tip: Write down a few bullet points that answer “What do I do best?” and “Who do I serve?” This helps craft a clear positioning statement, a concise explanation of how you solve problems, rather than relying on dry job titles. (For networking or pitches, replacing “I am a CEO” with “I help companies X by doing Y” makes you memorable.)

Once your core message is defined, reinforce it everywhere you show up. Consistency across media builds credibility. Ensure your LinkedIn, website, X, slide decks, and even your email signature all reflect the same story, tone, and look. As one branding resource advises, “In the digital age, your online presence is often the first impression people have of your brand… 

Ensure consistency across all platforms, from your website and social media profiles to your email signature”. Small details matter: use a professional headshot, a consistent color palette, and a uniform way of describing your mission. When audiences see a coherent brand everywhere, they begin to trust it.

Beyond visuals, content is king for positioning. Share your expertise through writing and speaking. Publish thoughtful articles or posts that address real industry problems. This not only demonstrates your knowledge but also builds authority. Attend conferences or webinars and offer to speak. Thought leaders in Europe often emerge by contributing regularly: “women entrepreneurs who regularly contribute to conversations in their industry are more likely to be seen as trusted experts”. 

For instance, start a blog discussing trends in your sector, host a webinar on a hot topic, or simply share insightful industry commentary on LinkedIn. Over time, these efforts compound: each piece of content becomes another signal that you are in the room where it happens.

Authenticity and storytelling also add power. Don’t just list achievements; weave them into your story. Explain how you overcame a particular challenge to build your startup, or what inspired you to tackle your industry’s problems. As one branding expert notes, sharing personal stories, even struggles, allows you to connect on a deeper level. 

These narratives make you relatable and memorable. For example, a female biotech founder might describe juggling lab work and newborns to highlight both her expertise and persistence. Such anecdotes don’t just humanize your brand; they reinforce why you do what you do.

In summary, positioning with power means crafting a coherent, authentic message and broadcasting it confidently. Some practical tips:

  • Define Your Brand Pillars: Write down 3–4 key attributes (e.g., innovative, empathetic, expert in AI) and use them as a north star.
  • Know Your Audience: Clarify who you want to influence, investors, customers, or the media, and tailor your examples to them. For example, if investors care about growth, highlight scalability; if customers care about impact, tell a customer success story.
  • Craft Your “Elevator Pitch”: Prepare a short “positioning statement” that explains who you help and how, without using vague titles. This helps in meetings or networking: instead of “CEO of X,” try “I work with [target market] to solve [problem] by [your solution].”
  • Leverage Storytelling: Incorporate personal journey and insights into your public talks and articles. This authentic storytelling forms an emotional connection that facts alone cannot.

Together, these steps make your brand clear and powerful, and ensure that when people talk about your company, they also talk about you as a leader.

Social Media vs Real Influence in Europe

Modern branding often conflates social media with influence, but savvy founders know they are complementary, not the same. Digital platforms indeed give founders unprecedented reach: a single LinkedIn post or tweet can introduce you to thousands across Europe and beyond. 

Savvy female entrepreneurs “leverage digital platforms to build authentic personal brands and connect with diverse audiences,” using social media as a megaphone for their voice. Regular posting, engaging video content, and interactive Q&A sessions can all boost visibility. However, visibility is not credibility by itself. A viral post may attract followers, but real influence comes from trust, and trust is often built offline.

As one networking expert puts it, “people buy from (authentic) people”, and face-to-face interaction is a powerful trust builder. This is why events, panels, and in-person networking still matter. When you meet someone at a conference or roundtable and impress them with your knowledge, they are far more likely to remember you and introduce you to others. 

For example, after speaking at a local startup pitch night, follow up by connecting with attendees on LinkedIn with a personalized note. This dual approach, personal encounter first, social media follow-up second, reinforces the bond. In practice, researchers advise adding online connections after meeting in person: “When you network with peers and industry professionals, connect with them on LinkedIn… after the event,” ensuring your online profile stays active and personalized.

Europe’s startup ecosystem thrives on this hybrid strategy. Cities like London, Berlin/ or Paris host regular entrepreneurship meetups, hackathons, and pitch competitions that women can attend to gain real-world influence. 

Meanwhile, social platforms like LinkedIn and X help maintain those connections and showcase ongoing work between events. The key is not to chase vanity metrics (followers, likes) alone, but to nurture genuine relationships. A small, engaged network is more valuable than a large, passive audience. In short: use social media to amplify your ideas, but always root them in tangible value and human connection. By doing so, your online presence will reflect the real expertise and leadership you deliver offline.

Soft Promotion

Subtle self-promotion, sometimes called “soft promotion”, is an important piece of personal branding. Instead of outright sales pitches, it means sharing successes and collaborations in a way that feels authentic. For example, a personal-brand agency might highlight its impact by stating, “Ohh My Brand has partnered with several women-led startups to craft personal brands that elevate voice and vision in male-dominated spaces.” This quote (used by a branding firm to describe its work) demonstrates soft promotion in action. 

It doesn’t hard-sell a service; it simply celebrates an outcome, namely, empowering female founders. Including such stories in your content strategy shows that you are active and recognized in your field.

You can apply the same principle in your branding: casually mention awards, media features, or partnerships that reinforce your expertise. For instance, posting an article about a recent award or a case study about a successful collaboration adds credibility without boasting. If you’ve spoken at an industry event, share a photo and summarize a key takeaway. When done modestly, these updates let others advocate for you: they see proof of your competence and may mention you in their networks. Over time, this approach, highlighting third-party validation, amplifies your influence.

In parallel, seek out supportive platforms and organizations. Across Europe, there are groups and programs dedicated to female entrepreneurs (like EU mentorship networks, women’s tech collectives, or investor networks focused on women). Joining such networks naturally yields positive talking points to share. 

For example, if you receive funding from a women-led VC fund or join an accelerator for female founders, mention this news. The messaging could be as simple as, “Thrilled to join [Program X], a mentorship network for women entrepreneurs, excited to amplify my brand with their support.” This kind of announcement is promotional, yet it underscores your momentum and leverages the credibility of respected partners.

Ultimately, soft promotion should feel like a natural extension of your story. It’s not about grandstanding, but about demonstrating impact. By weaving your achievements into your brand narrative, whether through blog updates, social posts, or speaking engagements, you keep your personal brand dynamic and credible. And as one branding firm exemplifies, framing those achievements as uplifting women’s voices in tough industries shows purpose, not pride.

Conclusion: Amplifying Women’s Voices for the Future

Personal branding is a long-term investment, but its dividends can be transformative. For Europe’s women founders, a deliberate branding strategy helps break stereotypes and open doors. By telling their own stories, clearly, consistently, and confidently, women can shift perceptions and inspire others. 

As we have seen, female entrepreneurs in Europe face unique hurdles (the “double burden” of proof and workload), but they are also resourceful. Through personal branding, they turn those challenges into strengths: balancing family and startup life can become a narrative of resilience, and overcoming bias can become a motivation to educate others.

Remember the key points: define who you are and what makes you different, then communicate that with conviction (whether online or in person). Leverage every channel, LinkedIn articles, videos, panels, and networking events, as a chance to reinforce your brand. Use strategic “soft promotion” to highlight wins and partnerships without losing authenticity. And don’t go it alone: connect with fellow women entrepreneurs, mentors, and supportive investors who can amplify your message. As one EU expert observed, boosting women’s presence in startups fuels innovation and diversity.

In the end, when women founders claim their space in Europe’s tech and business scenes, everyone benefits. Their brands not only advance their ventures, but also become beacons for the next generation of leaders. By empowering visibility through branding, female entrepreneurs will continue to reshape industries and prove that success knows no gender.

The C-Suite Guide to Personal Branding in 2025

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

In 2025, a C-suite leader’s personal brand is more than a LinkedIn profile update; it’s a strategic asset. As a CEO, COO, or CMO, building authority in your industry boosts trust that translates into real opportunities for your business and career. Below, we break down why authority equals opportunity, how to position yourself as a thought leader, and the new social media playbook for executives. (Plus, don’t miss the Executive Brand Audit Template at the end!)

Why Authority Equals Opportunity

Authority isn’t about ego; it’s about trust and credibility, which open doors. Studies show 82% of consumers trust a company more when its senior executives are active online, and 77% are more likely to buy from a business whose CEO engages on social media. In other words, when you show up as a knowledgeable, authentic leader, people respond with confidence. This trust can lead to new clients, partnerships, and career opportunities. 

Personal branding is often called a “trust accelerator” for this reason. Being recognized as an industry authority means your voice carries weight, making others more likely to invite you into important conversations and deals. Simply put: if you’re invisible, you’re missing out, but if you’re credible and visible, opportunity knocks.

Positioning Yourself as a Thought Leader

Becoming a thought leader requires strategy and consistency. Here’s how to position your CEO’s personal brand for industry influence:

  • Identify Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP): Pinpoint what makes you stand out as a leader, the blend of skills, experience, and values only you offer. This clarity will shape your messaging and focus.
  • Share Valuable Insights Regularly: Content creation is the cornerstone of executive branding. Publish articles, white papers or LinkedIn posts that showcase your expertise and tackle industry challenges. High-quality, insightful content positions you as a forward-thinking leader and sparks engagement.
  • Engage and Network: Don’t just broadcast, converse. Speak at industry events, join panels, and participate in online discussions. Cultivate genuine relationships with peers and mentees. By mentoring others and interacting with your audience, you build goodwill and a community around your leadership. Thought leaders listen and learn, not just talk.

Consistent thought leadership will cement your authority. Over time, your name becomes synonymous with insight in your niche, attracting invitations to speak, contribute to publications, or advise on big projects. It’s about contributing to the conversation in your industry until you’re the one leading it.

Social Media for Execs: A New Playbook

Social media has become non-negotiable for today’s executives. By 2025, being a “social CEO” is practically expected, about 70% of Fortune 500 CEOs are active on at least one platform, and nearly all of them use LinkedIn. Why? Because a leader’s post often gets far more engagement than the same message from a corporate account (people prefer a face over a logo). An active social presence humanizes your company and amplifies your reach. Companies with socially active leadership see significantly more sales opportunities and engagement online.

The new playbook for execs on social media is about authenticity and strategic focus. Choose platforms that matter in your industry (LinkedIn is the flagship for B2B networking, though X (formerly Twitter) or even Instagram can play a role). Share a mix of content: industry insights, company vision, and a bit of personal perspective. 

Remember, audiences today prefer “raw and real” over perfectly polished PR, and showing humility or humor can make your brand more approachable. Encourage two-way engagement by responding to comments and engaging with others’ posts; this isn’t a one-sided broadcast, it’s a dialogue.

Importantly, maintain a consistent voice and message that aligns with your values (and your company’s). If you’re too busy to post regularly, consider delegating support or working with an executive branding agency for content creation and strategy. 

Many agencies specialize in CEO personal branding and can help ghostwrite posts or manage your online presence. Just ensure your authentic voice and vision guide the content. When done right, your social media presence will reinforce your thought leadership, boost trust, and even drive tangible results (from recruiting talent to attracting new business leads).
