Our studio in Perth Amboy, NJ, recently rolled out the red carpet for some of the Northeast’s most determined and innovative women in finance, thanks to Nationwide. This team branding event wasn’t just another networking get-together; it marked a groundbreaking step into personal branding for these businesswomen.

The Essence of the Team Branding Event

Setting Up a Valuable Team Branding Event

In preparation for the event, every participant was provided a prep and style guide to help them prepare confidently for their shoot. Additionally, they were provided our Brand Clarity Worksheet to help them refine and solidify their brand identity before the event, ensuring they achieved the desired look and feel.

Our Brand Clarity Worksheet is a tool for self-exploration that helps you discover your unique qualities and where to focus your attention. It is an excellent introduction to personal branding and sets the stage for a great conversation during the event.

The Power of a Branding Photoshoot

Delving into Personal Branding & Branding Portraits

The day started with two primary tasks: capturing professional branding photographs and conducting a Brand Clarity workshop for a group of financial experts. We aimed to enhance their professional images to seamlessly match their personal and brand identities. We provided them with sufficient information to understand the importance of personal branding and guided them in creating their own. Moreover, we wanted to make the process enjoyable for them.

Each participant was given individual attention during the photo shoot to ensure we captured their best look. I guided posing and expression, and we styled them on the spot. Our studio provided the perfect space for them to prepare, chat, and have a great time. The process was carefully planned, but we also allowed spontaneity to capture authenticity. After the shoot, each participant was asked to choose their top three images for retouching.

Our touch-up wizards then worked magic, transforming these selections into polished images. Delivered and ready for use, they offered each lady a toolkit to rejuvenate their brand presence.

The Benefits of Team Events

Team events can offer several benefits for your company. According to this Forbes article, they’re among the most important investments you’ll make. They provide an excellent opportunity for team members to connect and develop stronger relationships, fostering camaraderie and unity within the organization. Even though the Nationwide agents were not teammates, they still benefited from being able to meet other women in finance.

Organizing events can positively impact organizations as they foster collaboration and communication, leading to improved productivity and expanded business opportunities. Besides, these events can boost the employees’ morale, motivation, and satisfaction. Getting out of the office and experiencing something different helps employees relax, recharge, and have fun outside of the usual work environment, reducing stress and promoting overall well-being.

This initiative provided more than new headshots; it sowed the seeds for a reinvigorated professional presence. It’s about the confidence and clarity that come from aligning one’s image with one’s ethos.

Hearing the participants share how this day changed their perspective on personal branding underscored the profound impact of our collaboration.

Why Your Company Needs a Team Branding Event & Branding Photos
