Here’s some information about our guest, Vinnie:
Vinnie Romano, Co-Founder and Chief of Revenue
Vinnie is a 17-year veteran of the advertising industry, having had the opportunity to work with the most-loved brands, in the industry's most iconic creative agencies. He has had the pleasure of holding senior leadership positions, consulting C-level individuals at the largest organisations across EU & APAC, assisting these companies in proving marketing ROI and saving millions in the process.
In 2015, he started his first agency, Frizbee - focused on helping enterprise tech and financial services brands with their B2B digital marketing strategy and execution; to harvest leads, nurture them and gain new and repeat business sales through creative, digital and automated means.
It was here, the same clients he produced brand work for, expressed an appetite in leveraging the power of the LinkedIn platform for their own profiles, adding to the reach and share of voice of the communications already going into market. Naturally, an official partnership with LinkedIn was formed and the start of Vinnie’s manual Social Selling production journey had begun.
Back then, the amount of resource required to pull together these types of programs meant that his agency had to charge anywhere between $100k - $150k per profile, per year. In 2021, he and Wayne created MySocial.ai to be able to provide this service for as little as $16.50 p/month p/user.
