Neal Schaffer

Author, The Age of Influence

When I wrote my 4th book, The Age of Influence, I realized then, what I believe now, that influencer marketing is the most untapped type of marketing that most businesses can see the biggest impact from.


The problem that I have found in my 10+ years in digital and social media marketing consulting is this: Marketers and businesses have been miseducated on what exactly influencer marketing is and what it entails.


That is why I wrote the book on influencer marketing, and why I created this Maven course to best help you tap into all of my experience and to apply it to your brand’s specific situation. I want to help you maximize your marketing ROI through hand-holding you through the creation of an influencer marketing strategy that will become your blueprint for your future marketing.


My teachings tap into my more than decade experience as a recognized leader in the digital / content / influencer / social media marketing space, having:


  • consulted with dozens of business large and small as a Fractional CMO
  • speaking on global stages such as CES, CeBIT, Content Marketing World, Social Media Marketing World, B2B Marketing Profs, Digital Marketing World Forum, and DigiMarCon Summit
  • teaching executives at Rutgers Business School, UCLA Extension, and the Irish Management Institute
  • Author of 4 marketing books, including The Age of Influence, Maximize Your Social, and Maximizing LinkedIn for Sales and Social Media Marketing


This course will not only enlighten you on the power of influencer marketing, but you will also see many other ways to tap into the same concepts to help other parts of your digital marketing based on this broad and deep experience of mine.


If you are marketer who is new to or wants to improve their influencer marketing ROI, an entrepreneur who wants to tap into the growth hacking potential that influencer marketing has, or a business owner or service provider that wants to leverage influencers to improve their overall digital marketing for your or your clients, this will be the perfect course for you.
