#1 Best-selling author and TEDx speaker viewed around the world.

I transform "word of mouth" into a world of mouth for Fortune 500 companies. 

Are you ready for a mouthful? My claim to fame in the world of social media and blogging came in 2007 when I reluctantly sold my blog after being served with a cease and desist.

The important takeaway from the ordeal was validation: I could make an impact (and a career) through engaging conversation.

I’m the best-selling author of Trigger Fingers (#1 on Amazon in Public Relations, Direct Marketing and Business Biographies), a TEDx speaker viewed by hundreds of thousands of people across the world, a 2-time “Top 30 Under 30 Canadian Blogger to Watch” (Front Side Bus) and a recipient of the Top 100 Canadian Speaker Series award (Post Media).

In 2023, my TEDxTalk "How to Build Trust Online" released to over 100,000 views in the first four weeks, making it the ninth most viewed TEDx in the entire world (August 2023).

I've spent the last 15 years growing the social properties of Canada's most prominent brands, managing all aspects of their digital marketing strategy including social listening, management of social media channels, crisis communications and social media programs. I'm currently the National Director of Social Growth & Experience at KPMG Canada.

My work as a social media influencer has been featured on CBC, CTV, Yahoo, BNN, DigitalJournal.com, MaximumPC, WhatCulture.com, staples.com, Nintendo.ca, and my own site, http://www.adamrodricks.com.

What does all of this mean? 

It means that I help businesses create conversations that resonate with their audiences and increase meaningful chatter, turning posts into messages and messages into quality leads.

I've engaged millions of followers on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram as well as viewers on YouTube, IGTV and Facebook Live. I also teach a course that I built off of proprietary data and case studies from my own career at George Brown College.
