Summary

This week, we talk about some of the most interesting people throughout history – and the fact they all had a consistent personal style.

Consistency is the key to branding, and these famous people all understood that.

We’ll take a look at Julius Caesar, who shocked fellow Romans with the way he dressed and acted.

We’ll examine the incredible popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” character that never changed throughout 25 films.

And we’ll talk about celebrities who adopted a singular colour as their personal branding – like Prince and Johnny Cash.
