David Meerman Scott -- Real-Time Comes to D’Amelio Network

(by Tony D'Amelio) -- 2014 begins with great news. David Meerman Scott has joined D’Amelio Network for speaker management.

I read David’s groundbreaking book, The New Rules of Marketing and PR 18 months before he reached out to me. The book’s fresh Real-Time communications strategies had a huge impact on me. I’m not the only one – the book has sold over 300,000 copies! It’s in its 4th edition and has been translated into 26 languages.

David’s point: gone are the days of communicating with the marketplace on a timetable. It’s an always-on, Real-Time world now – where it’s possible to generate attention for your product, service or idea in minutes – not months. It’s speed and agility -- not the biggest media budget – that wins!

Brilliant at inspiring people to set fear and old ideas aside, David delivers mind-flipping Real-Time strategies, like newsjacking, to engage the marketplace and stand out, get noticed, spread ideas, win hearts & minds, drive sales and grow business. Social media are the tools of the trade – but Real-Time is the mindset that drives success.

David is also author of nine other books including Real-Time Marketing & PR (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), Newsjacking, World Wide Rave, and The New Rules of Sales & Service (Fall, 2014). Among those he’s co-authored: Marketing the Moon (March, 2014) and Marketing Lessons from The Grateful Dead. And his blog has a huge international following.

David has spoken in more than 40 countries on all seven continents. His presentations energize audiences – using bold images, video, fresh ideas and success stories. His talent and expertise are a great addition to the D’Amelio Network.
