How to raise your personal brand as a tech leader
Becoming the face of the business is one of the most crucial skills a tech industry leader must master.
In a world where trust is currency, the founder’s voice is one of the most powerful tools for building belief. In fact, 65% of consumers say a company’s CEO and employees influence their decision to buy, making your personal brand one of your most valuable business assets.
Join Kate Baldwin and Laura Crockett from The Flywheelers, the award-winning comms agency for high-growth tech businesses and their investors, at Ox Tech Week for a practical, insight-led session designed to help you do exactly that.
Together, we’ll explore how founders, VCs and tech experts can show up more effectively, cut through the noise, and build lasting credibility with the audiences that matter most.
In this session, we’ll cover:
Why you should invest in your personal brand
How to adopt an audience-first mindset that drives engagement
Using LinkedIn as a strategic platform for visibility and influence
Leveraging media to build authority and trust
The session will wrap up with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions and get tailored advice.
