Branding vs Marketing

What is the difference between branding and marketing? These two words usually appear together, but they are different.

Branding is your person, marketing is what you wear.

Branding is the organic from your personality, such as who you are, what your attitude to others, the first impression before others get to know you deeply, those characteristics that naturally show involuntarily.

While marketing is those characteristics that you maintain to let how others think about you. Every choice you make to tell others who you are is all about marketing.
