He authored Get The Job: How to use personal branding to jump-start a career and dominate the competition.About Crowdspring: Crowdspring is the world’s leading marketplace for buyers and sellers of crowdsourced creative services, including logo design, web design, graphic design, product design and even naming companies and products.
