Branding Shmanding
See the image? Read the content. But, wait, be sure to take it in; really digest it and give it some thought.
Ready?
Let’s discuss.
Karl, with a “K” explains that he hasn’t updated his homepage in 2-years. We’re all busy doing the best we can, even Karl. Non-sequitur, I keep wanting to re-write his name as Karlie. Anyway, Karl is trying to sell his wares, WordPress themes. Who cares about sentence structure? What’s got me twisted up inside is the, I-kill-people image paired with the second blurb, “I’m not this scary in real life”.
Pause.
Think.
Breathe.
Karl with a “K”, why would you post a creepy, murdereee, bordering molestereee image of yourself, and say as much versus, oh, I don’t know, owning it? Why choose to portray yourself as visually creepy, yet explain a way your choice?
Here are a few examples, things to consider:
- My coding skills are as wicked as my face
- That’s right, I murder code to perfection
- I’m gonna scare the shit out of the back-end of your website
- Oh, yeah, I’m Karl with a “K”, a mean coding machine
Well, Karl with a “K”, what do we think?
