David Meerman Scott - InstagramIt’s All About Now, Now, Now

Who would have thought getting fired from a major real-time information company would lead to a hugely successful career in marketing?
An internationally acclaimed strategist, David Meerman Scott is the author or co-author of ten books, three of which are international bestsellers and one that is currently being made into a major motion picture. He currently travels the world acting as an adviser to emerging transformative companies and speaking at conferences, expos, meetings, and just about anywhere with a podium.
David’s marketing insights helped transform one of his books into a staple of the marketing canon. Translated into 26 languages, adopted by hundreds of universities and business schools worldwide, and with over 350,000 copies sold so far, “The New Rules of Marketing & PR” is now in its 5th edition. David shares some of the largest updates to this legendary book including current social media trends, the convergence of marketing/PR and sales, and the dangers of influencer marketing.

  • How over-zealous influencer marketing can actually alienate your audience
  • Why authentic employee advocacy is an important part of any company’s social media plan
  • How newsjacking can lead to more sales and a growing business
