With over 300,000 social fans and followers, and an intimate understanding of the intricacies of social technologies and social behaviors, Bryan is both a practitioner and authority on the subject of being human on- and offline.
In January 2014, Bryan’s first book “There is No B2Bor B2C: It’s Human to Human #H2H” rose to the #1 top selling spot in Business Books on Amazon in its first week. In January 2015, #H2H was named as the number 1 buzzword for 2015 by The Writer, and as a “Top 7 Game Changing Terms” by Sprout Social in 2016.
His latest book, “Shareology: How Sharing is Powering the Human Economy”, published by Morgan James Publishing, made USA Today’s Top 150 Book List the week of its release, as well as #1 on Amazon in four categories. In 2016, the book was translated and syndicated in China. Shareology explores the history, art and science of sharing, and illustrates why sharing is what gives us a unique competitive advantage as individuals and brands.
A San Jose native, Bryan is also a renowned global speaker, consultant and trainer. In a unique sharing experiment conducted in his TED Talk @ IBM titled “Why Sharing is Reimagining Our Future”, Bryan demonstrated the true power of sharing when inspiration combined itself with reach and technology. The results were stunning – 21 million impressions in just 4 hours from people in over 10 countries.

Digital Marketing has suffered in recent years from vanity metrics (likes, followers, etc.) and some channels not living up to their hype. Marketers are returning to traditional branding - but that shouldn’t preclude digital. Digital enables faster research, testing, agility, and can ultimately be the baseline for every traditional effort. Tighter budgets and higher expectations simply don’t work.
