More About This Title Renegades Write the Rules: How the Digital Royalty Use Social Media to Innovate
English
Renegades Write the Rules reveals the innovative strategies behind the social media success of today’s top celebrities, brands, and sports icons, and how you can follow their lead.
Author Amy Jo Martin is the founder of Digital Royalty and the woman who pioneered how professional sports integrate social media. In this book she shows how to build a faithful following and beat the competition clamoring for people's attention by continually delivering value - when, where, and how people want it. People want to be heard, to be involved, to be entertained, to be adventurous, to be informed.
- Reveals the winning strategies for using social media to achieve dramatic results
- Shows how to gain influence with social media that requires an unprecedented (and potentially uncomfortable) level of accessibility and ongoing affinity
- Filled with illustrative examples of social media successes (including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Nike) that show how humanizing a brand through social media leads to monetization
- Explores how Amy Jo Martin and other successful entrepreneurs are becoming renegades by using social media to innovate their personal and professional lives
The book reveals one of the basic rules of digital media success: Humans connect with humans, not logos and creative taglines.

To my Dad, my mentor renegade.
I’m forever grateful that you took me straight to the top of the double black diamond that day and made me skip the bunny slope.
And to you, Mom, thank you for your constant empowerment. You’re the most positive person I know. I love you both.
