The video emphasises the elements of everyday life that need to be reflected in your self-brand online. Once we leave the computer, we do not leave our self-brand. Employers will question the inconsistency if in person we are different to online. With modern day technology, we very rarely are completely offline; this highlighted again to me the importance of authenticity in an online-brand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/charliemasonblog.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/07\/developing-your-brand\/comment-page-1\/#comment-27\">Charlie <\/a>and I delved into discussion on the importance of profile pictures showing professionalism and authenticity. Her opinions reflected mine, engaging us in conversation of increasing authenticity through an &#8216;informal&#8217; yet professional approach to Twitter and Blogs; creating an online personality, which reflects our offline one. I use Instagram to give my online presence personality. I use it to express my love for healthy eating and cooking. This allows me to share photos of my cooking, whilst remaining professional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This week, through interacting with those on the course, and individuals outside, I feel I have really begun to develop an authentic online presence; allowing me to analyse my presence online, and adjust where needed.<\/p>\n<article id=\"comment-19\" class=\"comment\">\n<div class=\"comment-content\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><strong>\u00a0References\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stone Throw\u2019s Media.
