The SIGRUN Show


Jul 28, 2017

Mark Schaefer is the Executive Director of Schaefer Marketing Solutions, LLC., a social media marketing consultant and keynote speaker. He is the author of several books including Known: The Handbook for Building and Unleashing Your Personal Brand in the Digital Age and The Content Code: Six Essential Strategies to Ignite Your Content, Your Marketing, and Your Business.

His speech at the Social Media Marketing World 2017 conference was one that inspired me to launch The Sigrun Show with 100 episodes in 100 days. He joins me today to share his entrepreneurial journey, how he transitioned from the corporate world to becoming a recognized consultant, speaker, and author, and what inspired him to write the book Known.

He also shares many valuable tips and strategies for aspiring, new entrepreneurs to become recognized in their fields, necessary steps to take to become recognized as an expert, and why determining which medium to use is important in your content marketing strategy.
