“It’s been 234 weeks since LifeBrand was founded. 234 weeks of planning, building, navigating and adjusting,” LifeBrand President and Chief Executive Officer and President, T.J. Colaiezzi, shared on Facebook earlier this week.
“234 weeks later and I feel like we’re still in our infancy towards our true potential.”
This past week LifeBrand was in classrooms, auditoriums and community centers from coast to coast, leading Colaiezzi to believe he is witnessing the startup company’s vision “starting to come together.”
“This past week we provided our education and technology for Saint Joseph’s University, the Philadelphia 76ers G League affiliate the Delaware Blue Coats, the Lincoln High School Football team, and the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles,” Colaiezzi, continued.
LifeBrand also spent time at Endicott College’s Employee Benefits Fair.
The need for social media education and success tools is at an all time high as our world continues to evolve within the digital landscape.
“After 234 weeks it seems like LifeBrand has finally crafted the perfect mix of technology, strategy and education for our clients,” wrote Colaiezzi, a 2022 Finalist in the EY Entrepreneur of the Year, Greater Philadelphia Competition.
As the tangible resume gets replaced by social media, the importance of having a clean, professional, personal brand across all platforms grows.
“After 4 long years of trying to build the only Nationally Accredited Social Media Course in the country we received word that our Social Media Accountability & Awareness (SMAA) Certification now carry’s the prestigious designation of Nationally Accredited.”
The newly accredited online version of the course will be available for distribution and purchase by the end of the year, as the LifeBrand team and ambassadors continue to blaze trails in K-12 schools, colleges and universities across the nation, according to Colaiezzi.
LifeBrand offers a technology that helps clean up social media accounts and helps clients build strategic personal brands through their digital finger prints.
Under the guidance of Saint Joseph’s University’s Director of Student-Athlete Development, Erick Woods, LifeBrand conducted a series of workshops for the institution’s student-athletes, educating them on the importance of cultivating a professional and positive personal brand on their social media accounts.
At the end of the workshop, the students gained access to their personal LifeBrand Dashboard indefinitely, which is not seen or reviewed internally by their university or LifeBrand.
