Recently voted Forbes magazine’s number one global authority on social media, Gary Vaynerchuk is the keynote speaker at Inbound Marketing UK 2014 (IMUK14) in Liverpool this year, and promises to deliver one of the greatest keynote speeches the city has ever seen.

IMUK at IFB 2014

Forming part of the International Festival for Business (IFB), IMUK14 has an exclusive preview video of the New York Times bestselling author, in which Vaynerchuck details what he hopes to achieve with his headline address. Looking at leveraging the opportunities inherent in social media for businesses in 2014 is one of the key themes that Vaynerchuck highlights in this exclusive preview.

Gary Vaynerchuk

A natural entrepreneur, Vaynerchuck discovered the importance of e-commerce when, in 1997, he took his family business Shoppers Discount Liquors, rebranded it as WineLibrary.com, launching the retail site and growing the business from  $4 million in revenue to $60 million in revenue.

Now a social media thought leader, Vaynerchuk speaks around the world educating businesses on how to find their voice online and tell the story of their brand using the ever-increasing power of social media. Consulting a range of Fortune 500 companies, there is no doubt that the insights Vaynerchuk that has to offer are likely to transform the digital strategy of any business. The video is available to view on the IMUK14 website.
