- 1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION Michael DeFrancisco Project & Portfolio I: Week 1 November 25th 2023
- 2. My name is Michael and ever since I was young I have loved to be outgoing and express to others my passions in life. Growing up sports has been the biggest passion in my life. After playing Football and Baseball for more than ten years, I learned that this is what I would want to do when I was grown. Not being a world class athlete made me shift my focus from being a player to being an individual who makes his name by commentating, analyzing, dissecting and providing entertainment covering my favorite sports. I tend to be very passionate, opinionated, humorous and knowledgable. I think my brand archetype would be lover, due to my compassion and caring. Jester could also be a archetype I fall into because I love to make jokes and entertain. IDENTITY Picture of You Goes Here

Samsung Methodology: Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
