/ Our story
“Refine Your Brand, Elevate Your Life”
Our founder, Ava Martine, decided to create Brandied to service high-impact professionals.
We specialize in curating content shoots, brand identity, and creative direction while crafting strategic social media content that empowers prestige professionals to amplify their presence & embrace their next-level potential with confidence.
Brandied is a boutique personal branding agency based in Chicago
Boutique agencies intentionally maintain specialized internal teams that cater to a highly-selective client base, establishing themselves and their clientele apart from the mediocrity of conventional marketing agencies. Our organizational structure is designed to foster enduring partnerships with our clientele, enabling us to engage in intimate one-on-one collaborations on a consistent basis.
Personal branding is the process of creating and managing a distinct and memorable image or reputation for oneself. Much like how companies establish brands for their products or services, individuals who want to go farther in life deliberately develop their public identity, both online and offline. Personal branding is an enduring journey that knows no conclusion. Embarking on this path is a wise investment of your time and energy — after all, you are your biggest asset.

Personal Growth
We have a unique take on personal branding that pulls inspiration from the life coaching & entrepreneurship industries. Instead of simply elevating your digital presence through traditional marketing strategies, we support you in your personal and professional self-development journey.
This isn't about elevating your ego above others; it's about reaching such a level of greatness that those around you naturally see you as a role model for what can be achieved. We believe the true spirit of personal branding involves honoring your commitments, bolstering self-assurance, investing in self-improvement, serving your community, and leaving a lasting imprint on the world.
Similar to life, remarkable personal branding doesn’t offer many shortcuts. In a world that seeks instant gratification, personal branding plays a vital role in long-term success. Those destined for long-term rewards are the ones who've opted to invest in themselves, harness their potential, maintain a daily commitment to their communities, and look/feel good while doing so.

What are some common misconceptions about personal branding?
“Personal branding is only important for celebrities and influencers.”
“Personal branding is all about self promotion.”
“Personal branding is a one-time effort.”
“Personal branding just pertains to my online presence.”
Here’s the reality:
- At its core, personal branding is all about how you present yourself personally and professionally no matter who you are or what your job is. Therefore, it’s something that everyone can benefit from. You’re human and first impressions are especially important.
- Showcasing who you are at your core isn’t selfishly bragging about yourself. Demonstrating your expertise & personality allows your community to find you. Authentically sharing your gifts, skills, values, and unique qualities with the world is actually in service of your community. You were destined to accomplish great things & we’re here to help create that roadmap with you.
- Building your brand is an ongoing process and it evolves with time. You will pivot, you will resonate with other ideals, you will gain skills, you will live through new experiences, and your goals may change. What’s important is that you actively adapt & allow for your personal brand to reflect these developments.
- While technology and social media has facilitated the creation of digitized versions of ourselves through various profiles, it’s important to keep authenticity at the forefront. Your behavior, communication skills, and how you present yourself in person are just as important as your digital presence. At Brandied, we also utilize stylists & image consultants to bring out our clients’ inner confidence.

Do I need a personal brand?
+
Whether you like it or not, you have one — Everyone does. Without spending too much time racking your brain about what others think, it’s in your best interest to be aware of how you’re coming across to your community, your reputation & your image. In this case, self-awareness is very important. There’s also something to be said about self-perception & how it shapes your brand as well. In this case, you should think highly of yourself. You should care about your well-being. You should do what you can to live your best life and accomplish your goals. At the very least, you owe it to yourself to put in the effort.
