Corporate icons, star athletes, entertainers – they all have what it takes to be in control and in demand. U R A BRAND! How Smart People Brand Themselves for Business Success reveals the secrets and principles of how to think like a brand, harness your potential and take charge of your career, your business and your life, whether you aspire to the corner office, an entrepreneurial career, or a fulfilling second act.


Self branding can be subtle or heavy-handed, tasteful or obnoxious, out-dated or up-to-date. But if you don’t participate you will be left behind. Self branding can help you bring maximum benefit to your company and maximum benefit to your most important asset – You.


"The idea of self branding is Not Optional in today’s insecure world of commerce. U R A BRAND! is an excellent and welcome addition to the all too small library on the subject."

Tom Peters


"Al Ries and I once wrote a book about personal positioning called Horse Sense. I can honestly say that U R A BRAND! could be more helpful than our book. So, obviously, it’s worth reading."

Jack Trout, Author of Trout on Strategy


"There’s an old proverb that says ‘You eat life or life eats you.’ Catherine Kaputa and her brilliant ideas on self branding shows you how to be the diner and not the entrée."

Jay Conrad Levinson, Author of “Guerilla Marketing” series of books


“Catherine Kaputa has written an excellent complement to our book, High visibility. We talk about how the celebrity industry helps create celebrities, and Catherine talks about how any person can bootstrap themselves into visibility.”

-Philip Kotler, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University


“Corporations Strive to market their brands. You should strive to market yourself. Here is an owner’s guide to doing just that.”

-Steve Rivkin, marketing consultant and co-author of IdeaWise and The Making of a Name.

-Gregory L. Miller, Chief Economist, SunTrust Banks, Inc.
