Reinventing Personal Branding in the Age of AI

Sarah Jenks, CMOJuly 24, 20256 min read

The Digital Reputation Economy

In 2025, your digital footprint is your resume, your portfolio, and your network combined. But maintaining a high-quality personal brand is exhausting. You need to write newsletters, tweet daily, engage with comments, and create video content.

For most professionals, this "hustle" is unsustainable.

Enter AI Branding Agents

This is where we see the biggest shift. AI isn't just generating generic copy anymore. Tools like Instainker (our own product) are analyzing years of a person's writing to understand their voice.

The "Ghostwriter" Paradox

People worry: "If I use AI, is it authentic?"

It's a valid question. But consider this: Did CEOs writing books 20 years ago type every word? No, they used ghostwriters. They provided the ideas, the stories, and the direction. The ghostwriter provided the structure.

AI is the unlimited ghostwriter for the rest of us.
