Hey freaks! I always wanted to start a blog post like that. If this label upsets you, hold up a bit. That’s the focus of Chris Brogan’s new book The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth. Chris is one of our keynotes at this fall’s Social Brand Forum in Iowa. He was kind enough to take a few moments and chat with us about his book and why you just may be a bit of a freak about your business.
As the publisher of Owner Magazine, a New York Times best-selling author, and speaker, Chris is an expert on both mastering the digital channel and harnessing your inner freak to grow your business, attract more customers, and align what you’re doing online to who your brand is offline. Enough dancing around. Let’s talk to Chris!
Special Freaks-Only Offer
If you think you might be a freak and attending the Social Brand Forum might help you use digital marketing to build your business and grow your brand, Chris and I are offering TWO FREE FREAK SCHOLARSHIPS to attend the Social Brand Forum and the pre-conference with Ann Handley free of charge. You’ll have to get here and cover your lodging, but you’ll get the full value of this industry-leading event absolutely free plus free copies of The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth and a new title from Ann Handley.
How do you apply for a Freak Scholarship to #SocialBrand14? Leave us a comment below telling us your #ProudFreak story and what you’re trying to do. We’ll review the submissions and announce our scholarships here and on Twitter.
Hurry and tell us your story! We’ll select our two lucky freaks Thursday, July 3rd at noon Central!
