“I love the design of my Ziggs Profile – very simple, elegant and professional,” said Naina Redhu, founder, owner and designer, aside. Based in Mumbai, India, Naina’s design studio focuses on logo design, corporate identity and photography for global clients. “My Ziggs Profile gives me an elegant place to present my professional identity online – my professional brand – and use it for networking and business development. I love that Ziggs even tracks how frequently visitors view my profile for me.” Naina’s professional Profile at Ziggs includes valuable information on her background, her biography, a self-written interview, and her interests including links to the four blogs she authors.
“Ziggs offers an outstanding professional online profile service applicable to corporate clients and individuals alike. It’s particularly helpful for individuals who want to profile their personal or corporate brand but are not ready or able to invest in the development of their own website,” said Krishna De, co-founder and managing director of Oneocean Ltd.

As a leader in helping entrepreneurs grow their business, Krishna understands the value of giving her online brand global visibility. “Managing global clients requires that my professional brand can be found online through any search engine.

What's Behind Your Brand?
Johnnie Moore, brand guru, recently wrote about the importance of “putting humanity back into branding”. He raises a key point for professionals in every industry to consider. Successful corporations typically value employees as their most important corporate asset. This is because the vision, creativity and passion that employees invest in their work drives the success of the brand and the company. Disney, Nike, Google, FedEx and Microsoft are a few obvious examples.
The same holds true for you. How passionate are you about managing your own brand? Have you put your own “humanity” into your brand - or is it a dry list of achievements on a resume? It’s wise to consider how you can best create and manage your brand with your own personal style. Building a professional yet passionate online profile, with a professional photo, and maybe even a self-written interview, is one step you can take toward presenting your own most powerful brand online. Start your own professional online profile for free at Ziggs.

The Internet Elite
According to a recent Harris poll, almost 40 percent of us have conducted a name search for our own name, to see if we exist on the Internet. John Battelle, author of the newly released book The Search, expects that the number of people who conduct a personal name search will continue to grow, "reaching 90 percent in the coming years, as search becomes as individually definitional as finding oneself in the white pages was during the rise of the telephone."
If you’ve already conducted a name search to see how you’re presented online, you’ve taken a step in the right direction toward managing your professional online brand. But to truly make a difference for yourself and for your brand, you need to take it one step further. The simple act of writing and managing your own online profile through Ziggs, or listing your corporate bio at Ziggs, officially attaches your professional online identity to your name in search results at Ziggs and other search engines. This act puts a virtual stake in the Internet ether for your professional online brand.
Those of you who have already taken this step toward managing your online brand should consider yourselves on the cutting edge, ahead of the curve...among the Internet elite. Congratulations and well done.
If you haven’t done so yet, but you’d like to try creating a professional online presence, you can do so at Ziggs for free. Dive right in…the water’s always friendly at Ziggs.
"The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture," John Battelle, page 29.
