0:00 / 1:02

In 2015, Adam Witty recognized a shift in marketing that was putting more power into the hands of experts. Rather than relying on expensive, unreliable branding, experts could control their destiny through Authority Marketing - building a personal brand. Witty had grown his company significantly but faced big competition until he focused on his personal brand. He was named to the 30 Under 30 list, wrote books, spoke at major events and grew revenues tenfold. This opened a partnership with Forbes. Witty saw Authority Marketing was the key trend for entrepreneurs and professionals. He acquired Shelton Interactive, run by published author Rusty Shelton, who had built authority speaking at Harvard and SXSW at 23. Together they built the Authority Marketing System to help experts expand their impact and make competition irrelevant. This book will teach you to utilize Authority Marketing to take your business to the next level.
