Amy Jo Martin biography
Marketing speaker Amy Jo Martin is a New York Times bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and one of the people who quite literally wrote the rules of personal branding and social media. Long before “personal brand” became a household phrase, she was building one for some of the most iconic names in sports and business, turning the way people and companies show up online into both an art and a science. Today she helps audiences of every size, from Fortune 50 boardrooms to arenas of 10,000, find the courage to turn ideas into action.
Martin’s career began at the frontier of the industry. As Director of Digital Media and Research for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns during the wild, unregulated early days of social media, she helped invent a playbook that now seems obvious, and staged the first-ever professional sports “Tweet Up” with Shaquille O’Neal. She went on to found Digital Royalty, one of the first digital agencies, and pioneered online personal branding as we know it, guiding stars like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and brands like Nike to connect with audiences as humans rather than logos.
The Renegade Way
Her strategies became the New York Times bestseller Renegades Write the Rules, and Martin has shared them as a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and as one of Forbes’ Best-Branded Women on Twitter. Today she is the founder and CEO of Renegade Global, a human-transformation company, and the founder of a venture fund working to get more women onto the cap table. Through her top-ranked Why Not Now? podcast, she has held more than a hundred candid conversations with figures like Tony Robbins, Mark Cuban, and Simon Sinek, uncovering a repeatable formula for crossing from dreaming to doing that she now teaches through her Renegade Rules.
As a speaker, Amy Jo Martin is bold, warm, and genuinely galvanizing, with a rare gift for helping people see potential in themselves they hadn’t noticed, and act on it immediately. She speaks on building a magnetic personal brand, humanizing organizations in the digital age, taking action on the ideas that matter, and the courage and reinvention it takes to lead in a fast-changing world. Trusted by Fortune 50 leaders and audiences of thousands alike, she sends every room home with practical tools, and a compelling answer to a single question: why not now?
