Part 1 - Personal Branding

In the first part of the masterclass, 3 renowned women talk about what a strong personal brand can do for your business.

Lotte Bloem is Strategy Lead & Brand Manager at Verve Agency and helps brands with the transformation of their image. 

Evelien Reich is editor in chief of ELLE Decoration in the Netherlands and has more than 20 years of experience in styling, editing and publishing.

Both women tell about their approach to this theme. What exactly is personal branding and where does it show? How do you effectively work on your personal brand and how do you do this on commission? How do you translate your personal brand to your online content?

Keynote: Nancy Poleon

Before founder Nancy Poleon started BrandedU in 2014, she used to work as a marketing manager for BMG in London to help artists such as Britney Spears, Alicia Keys and Pink rock the stage. Using this experience, she developed a personal branding method, especially for women. This BrandedU Rock-’n-Roll Branding method is a unique method that is based on encouraging authentic behaviour.

Part 2 - Reflecting & Networking

After 4 months all masterclass participants come together again. We discuss our actions after part 1. How did we work on our personal brands? How did it go, what went well and what didn’t? Different experts, who we will announce later on, will also join to discuss the topic further.
