My Actual Personal Brand Strategy For 2026

Your competitors can copy your product, your pricing, and even your ads… but they can’t copy the trust you build when people already know who you are. After two decades of building my personal brand (and scaling NP Digital into one of the world’s largest marketing agencies), I can tell you this: your personal brand is one of the most powerful competitive advantages you can build in 2026.

In this video, I’m breaking down my actual personal brand strategy for 2026—the exact 3-pillar approach I use to build trust faster, reduce marketing costs, and create compounding growth over time. With AI making content easier and louder than ever, trust is becoming the real filter that decides who wins. That’s why personal branding is no longer “nice to have”… it’s your modern-day moat.

If you want more customers, better partnerships, stronger conversions, and a brand that people search for (not just scroll past), this breakdown will show you the system I’d follow if I were starting over today.
