PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Cory Lozier
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
Nov 28, 2022

2.
My name is Cory. Until early 2021 I didn’t
know what I wanted to do professionally. I
started talking sports and creating my
own “show segments” on YouTube just for
fun. I did that for about a year, then
decided to take classes to better my skills
and maybe even work for a company like
ESPN or Fox Sports. I want to help create
new and exciting content while providing
a positive image to become the voice you
turn to when you need sports news.

do I want to involve the viewers/community with give

Youtube about once every couple months by creating ad
posts but with new things coming I want to make a short
commercial for the channel.
• Website: The digital portfolio site will help me by keeping
all of the imagery I use as sort of how can I improve on
what I did last time.

Cory Lozier
You know sports articles are riddled
with click bait media that often times
don’t give you the information you’re
looking for. Well, what I do in my content
is deliver a topic relevant headline while still drawing the
attention from a consumer. In fact, I try to make everyone
feel as if I’m not just a guy talking about their favorite team.
I’m the guy you want to talk about your team with. With the
increasing numbers of viewers I feel as if I'm getting to
those who have the same thought as I do or they want to
hear what is being said about their team.
