I utilize my self brand and expertise as a Senior Development Consultant & Motivational Brand Builder to look at a personal or business brand bottleneck, and very accurately pin point problem areas as mundane or as significant as they may seem, and then provide advice based on my knowledge and the study of the issue.

As a Senior Development Consultant & Motivational Brand Builder with JasonSilvestri.com, I build personal and business brands (of all sizes) using social networking, certain marketing campaigns, and using various design and technology integration and creation methods. In addition, I feel because of my former experience in Product Lifecycle Management, I also understand processes of much larger magnitudes than most would expect. Moreover, at a magnitude a lot of my competitors and mentors in the social media and brand building marketplaces just can't compete with at scalable pace. For example, I understand some businesses have processes that have hundreds and even thousands of people involved, and have various phase gates and process procedures that must be handled delicately. Some projects do go on for months and even years at a time. Certain businesses do have to take on communications and the "social space" very carefully. Some of my competitors can attempt to understand it and I know it is easier said than proven of course. However, in the scheme of things, my approach can be challenged easily, and debunked very early on. Businesses I work for find out very quickly that I am dealing straight with them, and with competence and action. It is up to the business brand in question to be ready for the interaction with me. On the other side of the spectrum, personal brands must also pay close attentions to their actions and how to carefully construct their brands. I am empathetic to most individuals and passionate in wanting to help solve their problems. I feel because of the diversity of the solutions I provide, I can truly incorporate a cost effective outlook for the brand, as well as the business process.

As a Designer, I use technologies such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Expression Design and Microsoft Expression Blend to construct brand identities that separate individuals and businesses from their competitors.

As a Software and Web Technology Developer, I use technologies such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft .NET Framework (2.0 - 3.5), Microsoft Silverlight, Ajax and again, Microsoft Expression Blend (and even a little PhP) to develop short term and long term electronic product solutions, that are often used for online communities, intranet business processes, customer relations, Product Lifecycle Management business workflow processes, and everyday interactive user interfaces business and individuals use online and offline.

As a growing Social Media expert, I use the social networks of today to enhance individual and business brands. Unfortunately, a lot of personal brands have been taught to hurry up and jump on social networks, start a blog, and hope to get a sponsor or a few clicks on some Google, Microsoft and/or Yahoo ads. Because of this, social networking has also attracted big giants to the mix, often questioning how to monetize their brand to these information-hungry, distributors of content. In turn, these businesses often turn to popular social media experts that know absolutely nothing about how they function, demanding $3-20K to tell them they need to hop on social networks and start listening and caring about their prospects and consumers. The problem is that these processes taught are flawed. Small brands should use Twitter and other social networks as a cost effective means to marketing. However, they MUST have a quality product or service - not some ads - to really take advantage of the HUGE platform they now have to work with. Design and technology also play an important role. Enterprise business brands, however, should use the social media space for NOTHING MORE than customer service. Don't hire dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people to social network. That sounds interesting, but you would get more hype from a TV commercial. Save a few million and hire 4 people that really know how to network and that will actively LISTEN to your consumers and take the appropriate approach when dealing with them. There is your $3-20K demand for FREE. Of course how you act on it can still be complex. That is of course where I come in. I help clients create constructive content, and grow fast followings that truly appreciate and want my client's brands.

As a competitor, I know who my competitors are (respectively), who my mentors are, when I feel I surpass them, or when I feel I have become equal to them. I actively keep up with my mentors and competitors, and I do my best to advise both that I am more of a co-collaborative entity than anything else. I have shared helpful secrets, and I have gained respect for my candor. I am, however, careful. I know my expertise is valuable to some. I also know it is equally threatening to others. I am civil. I am always looking to form alliances, and at a rate much more frequent than acts that form enemies. In fact, I much rather get a phone call asking me how we can work together, than to have to combat competition like two bears claiming right to the same spot of rock at the corner of the salmon-filled river. I win most battles to a degree that satisfies me. I am here. I am growing. I deserve it. Even though cut throat tactics get most of us to the top the fastest, I prefer to put aside greed and realize there really is enough to go around. Please utilize me as an ally, and one that keeps all interactions confidential and meaningful.  

As a consultant, designer, developer and social media expert, I utilize all my skill sets to construct prominent brands.
