Creating an Authentic Voice on Social Media

We are a branch of the Japan Society of Northern California. We seek to promote community development through professional, social, and cultural events in the Greater Bay Area.

Authenticity.  Companies and individuals around the world want to engage and interact with their fans, users, clients, and audience in a way that is easy to disseminate but still rings true and genuine.  
As the world continues to go digital, it is becoming easier and easier for brands, companies, and personalities to engage with their audiences through Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter, the potential pitfalls become more perilous if you haven’t clearly defined your voice.  And whether you are a blogger, telling stories from your living room, or an international brand marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company, having a clear idea of what your brand’s voice should sound like will make the difference between creating interactions that your audience will love, versus creating tone deaf experience that will get you lampooned (the Wendy’s Twitter account vs Pepsi’s Kylie Jenner Ad).
Japan Society’s Young Professional’s Group is hosting a panel of experts to give real and relevant advice on how to approach brand marketing and to make the most of your audience interactions.  Our panel will be going into detail on how to define your authentic voice and then outlining some best practices on how to communicate with your audience.
We are grateful to announce that this event is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Applift.

Veronique Kherian, blogger, and photographer: Vero Kherian, an east coast transplant with San Francisco roots, studied Economics and French at Wellesley College in Massachusetts, then spent one year teaching English in public elementary schools in Normandy, France. Upon her return to the States, she earned her Juris Doctor at George Mason University School of Law in Virginia. She clerked at the Board of Immigration Appeals, Ernst & Young in Paris, France, and the trademark law firm of Erik Pelton & Associates before launching her own intellectual property law practice in San Francisco. Eventually tired of the legal profession, she turned to cultivating her cheese blog Miss Cheesemonger, which she had launched upon completing her law studies. Now, through her blog and social media presence, she strives to present her vision of “beautiful cheese in a beautiful setting” by visiting cheese makers, crafting curated cheese-scapes, showcasing fine dining (particularly highlighting fine cheese), and featuring creative entrepreneurs. More recently, she launched her portrait and lifestyle photography business, where she works with clients to craft individualized imagery, showcase their personal brand, and above all, celebrate themselves and their unique accomplishments. In her spare time, she performs with numerous local opera companies.
