Curate Your Social Media & Personal Brand in 2025

Why your social media is part of your brand

You are already being Googled. Whether you are job hunting, pitching clients, or networking with peers, your name is probably being searched. And what shows up first? Often, it is your social media profiles.

Recruiters, hiring managers, and potential collaborators are all making quick judgments based on what they see. Your social presence is no longer personal by default. It is a public extension of your professional brand, whether you treat it that way or not.

What does “curating your social media” mean?

It is not about being fake or overly polished. Curation is about making sure what you share online reflects who you are today. It is about cutting out the noise and highlighting the value you bring.

Usually, this means deleting outdated posts, removing likes from pages or ideas you no longer support, or simply organizing your profiles so that your current skills and goals are front and center. Make sure your social media activity going forward is aligned with who you are, and regularly audit your profiles and clean them up.

What to look for when curating

Old tweets or posts that don’t reflect your current views
Overly negative or combative content
Off-brand likes or shares
Inactive profiles you forgot about
Posts with questionable humor or tone
Public images or tags you didn’t approve

Even if the content was harmless when you posted it, things change. Culture shifts. What was funny in 2015 might not land the same way today. Curation helps you stay ahead of the curve.
