6) PR author and speaker David Meerman Scott

“You cannot go wrong with following David Meerman Scott. He’s a NYT and WSJ best selling author of 12 books on PR and marketing, thought leader and practitioner so his wisdom and advice are grounded in real world experience not theories. He is battle tested and knows what works firsthand. He literally wrote the book on this stuff.” — Paige Arnof-Fenn, Founder & CEO of Mavens & Moguls:

I love when people provide value and help me work better long-term. Not only does Paul provide a valuable service, he gives away valuable information. It blows my mind how he gives the exact criteria brands need to gain larger visibility through video — truly a gem.” — Sarah Evans, Owner of Sevans Digital PR
