Branding is what People say about you when You are Not in the Room.

Personal Branding is synonyms to Reputation Management. Personal branding is the process of developing a “mark” that is created around your personal name or your career. You use this “mark” to express and communicate your skills, personality and values. The end goal is that the personal brand that you develop will build your reputation and help you to grow your network in a way that interests others. They will then seek you out for your knowledge and expertise.​

Image Consulting combines the various elements of image with communication to deliver an authentic personal brand. It is a fusion of science and art because it merges all these individual elements to create an image which is appropriate, authentic, attractive and affordable.

People looking for a job change, entrepreneurs, fresh college graduates, business professionals and corporates hire image consultants to help them stand out in the crowd and carve a distinctive personal brand for them.

Urbanista's Image Architects are certified image experts who have a considerable experience within the industry. Our Image Architects have the ability to understand each batch, client and individual and adapt their methods to yield the best results.

Sheena Agarwaal, our Principal Consultant, is a Reach Certified Personal Brand Strategist and has developed her skill in Image Consultancy under the guidance of Master Trainer like Carla Mathis, Christina Ong and Lynne Marks. She is also a member at Association of Image Consultants International.

According to a survery conducted by Wall Street Journal, organisations look for not just the skiil set of an individual but the whole package or what we call "Professional Presence". 

Hence, it is important for driven Individuals and Corporate Houses to invest in Professional Image. Beyond just dressing appropriately, using credible colours and fits, it extends to powerful communication skills and body language. 

An Image Consultant is someone who specializes in bringing in a 360-degree transformation in people by maximizing both their “seen” and “unseen” potential.  Developing your perfect image is not only the journey from the inside out or outside in. Rather, it is a journey you start from a point you feel most comfortable in and in this journey, you will make step-by-step discoveries that will unveil the ‘Unique You’ and it will help you in achieving your personal and professional best.

If you resonate with the below mentioned, Urbanista Image Consulting would be happy to walk you out of it:

• You feel that you have the same ability or possibly equal to your peers but notice a slower growth in the organization despite all your efforts.
• You want to boost your Personal Brand and understand your brand gaps and ways of rectifying the same.
• You are in a networking event and feel left out and fail to make an impressive first impression.
• You feel that you often are misunderstood due to communication gap
• You feel there is untapped potential that you are yet to unearth.
• One of your feedback states that you fail to inspire others and could have a stronger presence.
• Your non-verbal communication is the reason behind opportunity lost.
• You look in your wardrobe and you are totally uninspired by what you see.
• You don’t bother looking in the mirror because your clothes and complete appearance is the same as every other day of the year, so you know exactly what you look like
• You don’t shop, you restock.
• You stop wearing a garment only when it’s completely unwearable, or when you buy a new one and you realize how worn out is the other.
• You have a power suit, but you don’t know if what makes it so powerful is its color or its style.  So what will you buy when it needs to be replaced?  The same color?  The same shape? Or maybe you can buy exactly the same outfit.

Yes, our process works for all genders and all ethnicities. The basic rules of image, behaviour and communication apply equally to men as well as women. Though our method of Image Consulting is tailored to each individual, we always cover the basic fundamentals of color, style and clothing preferences.

One thing unites all our clients, no matter how different they are: All of them care about their appearance, male or female alike. Often, an individual is prompted to engage our services because of a change in life that makes one's personal image come to the forefront. For example, promotions at work, divorce, illness, a new relationship, re-entering the workforce and other such events are often the impetus for a person to want to take control of the image they present to others.
