OKWIT in OKC - New Year, New You: Branding & Your Personal Brand

When you think of a brand, you often think of a company’s logo, the products they sell, or the services they offer. But at the heart of an organization, is defining what they want to be known for. The combination of all the people, ideas, processes within a company are truly what defines a brand. Have you ever thought about your own personal brand? What is it that you want to be known for? What are the combinations of skills and traits that make you unique?

Join OKWIT and Jenny Parnell, Global Marketing Director at InterWorks, as we discuss brands you love, and brands you leave. We’ll cover how to take ideas from other brands and usher new ideas into your work and company. We’ll talk about how you can begin to think of your own work in terms of the professional legacy you want to have – your personal brand.

What goes along with a personal brand? A professional headshot! OKWIT is excited to host Valerie from withunmind photography at this event. Valerie will be taking professional headshots for attendees that would like one.

This event is happening in Tulsa and OKC. This is the OKC event.

This event is made possible by our corporate sponsors, Devon Energy, Heartland Payment Systems, OneGas and Dolese! THANK YOU!

*** PLEASE NOTE: This event will be held at Rococo Private Events center at the original location on 28th and Penn, not the Rococo restaurant on Western. ***

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:

Jenny has been working in marketing and tech for over a decade. Her first job out of college was to build a marketing practice/team at a global IT and data consulting firm called InterWorks and that’s been her passion ever since. Her background started in Graphic Design and through the years she’s tackled just about every facet of marketing that has come along and now she’s focused on mastering the art of B2B marketing, particularly in tech. One thing you should know about Jenny – she loves learning. You’ll be lucky to get out of a conversation with her without a reference to some book she just read, a podcast she listened to or how she was emotionally moved by a Harvard Business Review article. Beyond learning, putting knowledge to work is her specialty. Outside of work, she hates cooking, hates exercise and likes to make art.

ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHER:

Valerie is the mama to five beautifully amazing, unique and hilarious girls. She believes that life should be lived fully and documented truly - for ourselves and those we love! She knows wholeheartedly that what makes each of us beautiful is not how we look but it is our essence. Her superpower is capturing that and reflecting it back to you!

At withunmind photography, Valerie works with you to create beautiful images to help you see yourself the way those who love you see you as well as providing images for your brand that aid you in showing up authentically within the spaces that you work.

Women are Valerie's passion - young and not so young. We are to be seen and heard!
