 You don't need me to tell you who Chris is. Chris knows your neighbor, he knows your cousin, and he knows everyone else in your network. He also knows all their names by heart, and their birthdays.
This is only one of the reasons that Chris Brogan has been named one of the best marketers of the year. He connects compulsively and authentically, to a huge number of people, day in and day out. If you don't know Chris yet, don't worry, you will very soon, and you'll love him.
From the publication of our book Trust Agents, to his unmissable blog at chrisbrogan.com, Chris has been working harder than almost anyone in this business, and it shows. While we're sleeping, he's writing posts. When I upped my blogging to once a day, he started doing two! There's no keeping up with him. He's a dynamo, and his ability to stay fresh while moving so fast is what has been keeping him at the top of the game for a long time to come.
In 2010, Chris will be releasing yet more books, making appearances with people you never thought he could know or get access to (his appearance on the Dr Phil show was a good example in 2009), and developing more projects than you ever thought possible. Throughout the year, he'll continue to do it while remaining the same approachable, funny guy he always was. This is his true magic.
This and many more reasons are why he's mentioned in this list, not to mention everyone else's. Have a great year Chris. You deserve it."
