1
00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:09.650
After seeing CEOs, executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, and creators

2
00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:16.210
building their personal brands online, you start to wonder if it's possible for you to build yours too.

3
00:00:16.900 --> 00:00:22.110
You educate yourself on what it means and then you are serious about getting external help.

4
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.890
So you go to Google and you type up personal branding agencies.

5
00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:33.850
What you see is a series of people saying that they're the best,

6
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:40.490
badges that anybody can buy, reviews that nobody checked, press that was paid for.

7
00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:47.830
You realize that this is a field built on reputation, yet there is no standard

8
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.550
for whose reputation is real.

9
00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:56.280
PersonalBrandingAgencies.com is the standard.

10
00:00:56.290 --> 00:01:01.600
It is the world's first dedicated personal branding directory for agencies,

11
00:01:01.930 --> 00:01:04.680
consultancies, and independent consultants.

12
00:01:05.490 --> 00:01:09.160
Every single listing on identical terms.

13
00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:15.760
Every listing is vetted by Mashman Consulting Group against seven public criteria,

14
00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:17.960
a signed code of ethics,

15
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:20.500
a published position on AI,

16
00:01:21.110 --> 00:01:26.460
personal branding as the primary focus of the practice, a defined specialization,

17
00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:33.480
a real website, a verifiable social footprint, and a legitimate legal filing.

18
00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:39.040
The best part is that applying is absolutely free.

19
00:01:39.630 --> 00:01:48.200
Every application is reviewed and a PBA representative calls the agency or the representative to verify all of the information.

20
00:01:48.210 --> 00:01:52.660
If you break the code of ethics, the listing comes down.

21
00:01:54.050 --> 00:01:58.580
You can browse by who they serve, what they specialize in, and where they are.

22
00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:02.480
Every listing shows its price tier up front.

23
00:02:03.770 --> 00:02:07.440
Now for reviews, they come from verified clients only.

24
00:02:07.730 --> 00:02:10.560
A person reads every one.

25
00:02:11.510 --> 00:02:15.700
The Personal Branding Agencies Power Ranking is built on those reviews alone.

26
00:02:15.710 --> 00:02:18.260
Money cannot move it.

27
00:02:19.090 --> 00:02:24.020
You can save agencies to your shortlist, compare two side by side, and read the

28
00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:26.540
buyer's guide before you sign anything.

29
00:02:28.130 --> 00:02:30.280
Other directories sell placement.

30
00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:36.880
Personal Branding Agencies holds every listing to the same standard, in public.

31
00:02:37.970 --> 00:02:45.720
