1 Identify your niche

One of the first steps to building your personal brand in public engagement is to identify your niche or area of expertise. What are the topics, issues, or sectors that you are passionate about and knowledgeable about? What are the gaps or needs that you can address or solve? How can you position yourself as a thought leader or a trusted advisor in your niche? By defining your niche, you can narrow down your target audience, tailor your messages, and showcase your unique value proposition.

To build your personal brand, specialisation is essential in the first place. Having an outstanding profile in a specific field of work in which that knowledge can legitimise you. In this way, you will be able to assume the role of "expert in" or "part of a sector". This specialisation will allow you to collaborate with other professionals to whom you can offer your expertise as an asset. It will also allow you to be part of communities and events with ease.

2 Create and share valuable content

Another way to build your personal brand in public engagement is to create and share valuable content that demonstrates your skills, insights, and perspectives. You can use various platforms and formats, such as blogs, podcasts, videos, webinars, newsletters, or social media, to share your content with your audience. The key is to provide relevant, useful, and engaging information that solves problems, answers questions, or sparks discussions. You can also leverage your content to showcase your achievements, projects, or collaborations, and to invite feedback or input from your audience.

Thought leadership is essential in developing your personal brand. In my opinion it is most effective when it comes from not only sharing your expertise but also your unique voice, values and perspective. The audience wants your wisdom and not just facts. Our wisdom imbeds our world view which makes it intriguing to the reader. I find the best thought leadership content gives me a new perspective allowing me to see or understand a topic in new ways. To be effective I have found developing my unique vocabulary and writing style is valuable in creating my unique tone. Share your insights and seek input to foster a conversation. Promoting others who do great work brands you with a spirit of generosity. Start small and build it over time.

3 Network and collaborate with others

A third way to build your personal brand in public engagement is to network and collaborate with others who share your interests, goals, or values. You can join or create communities, groups, or events that bring together public administration professionals, academics, practitioners, or stakeholders who are involved or interested in your niche. You can also reach out to potential mentors, partners, or influencers who can support, guide, or amplify your work. By networking and collaborating with others, you can expand your reach, learn from others, and create opportunities for growth and innovation.

Digging deep into your identity is critical to counter the unfortunate overuse of authenticity in personal branding more recently. This self-understanding not only clarifies your brand but also ensures a genuine connection with other people, emphasizing the true essence of authenticity. That also creates consistency which in turn builds trust. They will trust you as a product and thought leader.

Working on your brand and reputation is a good thing... as long as you are real, consistent with yourself and don't pretend to be someone you are not just to get a bigger audience or reach. It's not about getting there, it's about staying there.

5 Seek feedback and improvement

A fifth way to build your personal brand in public engagement is to seek feedback and improvement on your performance and impact. You should regularly monitor and measure the outcomes and outputs of your public engagement activities, such as the number of views, likes, comments, shares, downloads, or registrations. You should also solicit and analyze the feedback and suggestions from your audience and stakeholders, such as surveys, polls, reviews, or testimonials. By seeking feedback and improvement, you can identify your strengths and weaknesses, celebrate your successes, and address your challenges.

A sixth way to build your personal brand in public engagement is to adapt and innovate in response to the changing needs, expectations, and trends of your audience and stakeholders. You should keep abreast of the latest developments, issues, or opportunities in your niche and the public administration field. You should also experiment with new tools, methods, or approaches to enhance your public engagement skills and strategies. By adapting and innovating, you can stay relevant, competitive, and influential in your public engagement career.

Innovation becomes a cornerstone in building a standout personal brand. Explore creative approaches to content creation, whether through interactive media, unique storytelling formats, or pioneering strategies that capture your audience's attention. I believe that innovation isn't limited to content; it extends to how you present yourself online. Experiment with various formats, such as live videos, podcasts, or interactive posts, to showcase your personality and expertise in ways that resonate with your target audience.

In traditional sectors, there is a certain ease of innovation in being able to mix the conventional exercise of work with new technological possibilities. Disseminating your specialised work, the particularities of your sector, which may well be known by professionals but not so much by the rest of the public, is an example. Other innovation spaces involve identifying professionals and experts from other areas and generating joint projects. The more distant the field of work, the better!
