I woke up to one of the biggest honors I've ever been presented with this morning. Hanapin Marketing (the agency behind the amazing HeroConf and PPCHero blog) listed me as one of the top 25 influencers in PPC. The majority of the digital advertising community are Search folks, and it's VERY AdWords-focused. I had literally no hope of making it on the list as someone who is social PPC, B2B, and especially focusing solely on LinkedIn Ads. I can't express in words how flattered I am to share the list with so many truly remarkable professionals. I feel this underscores the fact that social advertising is finally receiving the recognition in the community that it deserves, and props to Hanapin for leading the charge. …see more
