Brand Builder Competition by Speaker Slam®

Personal Branding Competition

A Transformative Brand Journey

The Brand Builder Competition challenges entrepreneurs, authors, professionals, and visionaries to get crystal clear on their personal brand and position themselves as leaders in their industry.

You'll create a powerful Positioning Graphic, rally your community during Inspiration Week, and if you make the Top 10, pitch live to a panel of expert judges for the chance to win.

But the biggest win? The clarity, confidence, and momentum you'll build along the way. Past competitors say this experience transformed how they see themselves and how the world sees them.

What You'll Walk Away With

  • ✓ A clear positioning statement that sets you apart
  • ✓ A professional brand graphic you'll use everywhere
  • ✓ Your community actually knowing what you do
  • ✓ Content and visibility from Inspiration Week
  • ✓ Expert feedback from industry judges
  • ✓ Connections with like-minded changemakers

Why Enter

This Is Your Launchpad

The Brand Builder Competition gives you more than a shot at winning. It gives you momentum.

🌟 Step Into Leadership

This competition challenges you to sharpen your message, own your expertise, and position yourself as a trusted leader in your field. You'll be forced to answer the question: what makes me unique?

💡 Gain Clarity and Confidence

Whether you're pivoting your business, advancing your career, or expanding your influence, you'll walk away with a crystal-clear narrative and the confidence to share it with the world.

👀 Get Seen by Your Community

Inspiration Week puts your brand in front of thousands of people. Last year, thousands of votes poured in during a single week. Even if you don't advance, your brand wins.

🤝 Build Real Connections

You won't just compete. You'll connect with fellow entrepreneurs, authors, professionals, and changemakers who are building something meaningful. Past competitors say the friendships are worth the entry alone.

From Past Competitors

Hear It From Them

Winning the Brand Builder Competition was definitely a pivotal moment in my career. It allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and with the prizes that I won, continue to accelerate my speaking career. What I love about Speaker Slam is that it gives a normal person an opportunity to express themselves in ways they didn't even think they could before. For me, Speaker Slam is the launch pad for my speaking career.

Calissa Ngozi

Winner of the 2024 Brand Builder Competition

Having won that competition two years ago, it has been such a huge thing to me and my brand. It made me narrow down on what I wanted to do and I've kept my position the same because this competition helped me hone in. It's just been building and building ever since.

Angie Bailey

Winner of the 2022 Brand Builder Competition

I was terrified at the beginning of the week. But my positioning statement changed and evolved dramatically in like the first post and then everything started to flow. At the end of it I was so full of exactly what it is that I need to do for the world. I could cry, I'm so grateful.

Jen Scholte

Brand Builder Competitor, 2024

Whether you're a novice or an experienced speaker, coach, entrepreneur, sometimes we don't follow our own advice and do those reflective exercises. For this experience, we had to sit in that space. I already feel like a winner because the connections were renewed and the momentum is building again.
