Amber Mac's first book, Power Friending, an accessible and comprehensive guide for utilizing social media to spark business growth, was a national bestseller.
As the Miami Herald has written, pinpointing her work in personal branding, Amber "demonstrates a deep and practical understanding of the necessity of extending one's personal and professional presence online." A pioneer in the online space, she has spearheaded two award-winning podcasts: The Social Hour on the popular TWiT network, and commandN.tv. Both shows, which reach approximately 100,000 people weekly, have been featured in Wired.
