Joining the Alliance: The Brand Alliance
I’ve been in the visual communication game for a long time.
My early career was shaped by a powerful niche: photojournalism. I had the honor of working with a global roster of conflict photographers; shaping stories, guiding narrative, and helping get their work seen, published, and paid for.
Branding Myself Since 10
Why is Clear, to verify identities, on LinkedIn forcing its members to either be verified with their legal name or lose the benefits that come with verification?
According to LinkedIn being verified:
Enhanced Trust and Credibility Increased Profile Visibility Stronger Professional Image Protection Against Impersonation Access to Exclusive Features
Here’s the challenge. I have never been called Patricia, except by doctors and passport control agents.
I have been attuned to branding since I was about 10-years-old.
