This is a brilliant idea. I think that where many self-employed people go wrong is that they don’t have that ‘sell yourself’ confidence, even though their work might be top notch. But this is a nice professional way of getting the message across without being too bolshy.

I’m just starting out in journalism and think this idea could be adapted towards writing projects.

Also, I’m creating a blog for my published work and had originally written the About section in third person but I thought it felt weird, too.

Thank you
Catharine

Danielle: That’s a great question! Personally, I mostly use first person language otherwise it seems cold and too business-like. Not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just for independent artists like us, we do everything ourselves and I want to seem approachable and accessible and first person language helps with that. I think that it comes down to a personal preference. If I was a corporation, I would use third person language because it is basically its own entity.

Hi Nubby, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on using first person language (“I, me, my”) for sponsorship decks and media kits? I am developing one for my blog right now and it feels unnatural to write about my own blog in the third person.

The American Red Cross owns rights in American Red Cross and the red cross emblem consisting of a Greek red cross. The American Red Cross’s trademark rights in American Red Cross and the red cross emblem date back to 1881. With the exception of a few individuals and companies that used the Greek red cross before 1905, the American Red Cross has the exclusive right to use the Greek red cross in the United States.

I think you are absolutely right. Based upon your samples, your kit (and work) is beautiful. How can it be bad to promote yourself and your talents and skills? This is part of not only who you are, but what you do – and you do it so well. Good luck!

Looks great Nubby – I love how you brand yourself. I’ve been working on a media kit for website for a few weeks … I’m still working on the design, as I’m currently developing a design for my portfolio website so I’d like to develop a very clear branding across all of my online stuff… getting there slowly but surely.
