Faur's executive personal branding service combines 20 years' experience building digital presence at Red Bull, Brunswick, and the BBC with practical understanding of how senior leaders balance visibility, credibility, and risk.

This isn't about social media tips. It's strategic positioning backed by evidence and implemented with governance.

Why Executive Personal Branding Matters

  • For your organisation
    73% of FTSE 350 employees believe it's important for CEOs to actively communicate on social media. Leadership visibility builds trust, attracts talent, and signals organisational confidence.

  • For your team
    By a 4:1 ratio, employees prefer to work for a CEO who uses digital and social media. Your presence shapes internal culture and retention.

  • For your network
    A defined personal brand creates opportunities through visibility, establishes thought leadership in your sector, and builds relationships before you need them.

  • For your career
    Hiring managers research online presence for every senior role. Absence is a red flag. Strategic presence opens doors.

The Reality of Executive Personal Branding

Most senior leaders know they should have a stronger personal brand. Few do it well because:

  • They're uncertain what to share and what to avoid

  • They lack time to produce content consistently

  • They worry about saying the wrong thing

  • They don't know how to measure impact

  • They're unsure which platforms matter

Our approach addresses each of these barriers with clear frameworks, realistic expectations, and governance that protects reputation while building visibility.
