GCT — goals · content · targeting

Questions for you, Sean

Answer these and your audit sharpens from good to precise. These are the gaps where your goals, content focus, or target audience weren’t fully clear to us.

1

No personal brand positioning exists

What does Sean want to be known for professionally, beyond his current job title? Is there a niche (nonprofit marketing, public sector comms, DEI/workforce, visual design) he wants to own?

2

LinkedIn posts are employer-driven, not personal thought leadership

Does he post about his own perspectives on marketing, comms, or nonprofit strategy? Or does he see LinkedIn primarily as an institutional tool?

3

"Breaking down barriers to employment" is Goodwill's tagline, not his own

What is his personal professional tagline or value proposition, separate from any single employer?

4

Instagram @seanmjones is private and unconfirmed

Is @seanmjones his personal Instagram? Is it intentionally private, and does he want to keep personal/professional separate?

5

No personal website or portfolio

Does he have a personal portfolio site showcasing his design, video, and campaign work across his career? He has strong creative work to show (campaigns, visual design, video) with no public showcase.

6

MPA credential not leveraged visibly

He completed a Master of Public Administration in 2025. Does he want to position himself as a strategic nonprofit leader (not just marcom tactician)? That's a meaningful differentiator.

7

WPC presidency not visible in bio/About

Leading a professional communications association is significant authority signal. Why isn't it more prominent in his online presence?

8

SERP collision is severe

Searching "Sean Jones" returns jazz musicians, NFL players, authors. Does he want to own "Sean Jones Wichita" or "Sean Jones nonprofit marketing" in search? A personal domain and/or distinctive handle would be step one.
