It would be an understatement to say we have a “crush” on two marketing geniuses: Gary Vaynerchuk and Seth Godin. Both Gary and Seth are notable figures within the worlds of entrepreneurship, marketing, and thought-leadership who we’ve written and gushed about before here and here. Seth Godin is widely renowned for his depth of insight and for introducing the concept of permission marketing. Gary Vaynerchuk, on the other hand, is self-made man with fierce passion for entrepreneurship and digital marketing, and he is the founder of Vaynermedia . Both have vastly different personalities but both offer perfect soundbites of wisdom that serve to inspire, provoke thought, and offer perspective.

To inspire you to form your own “marketing crush” on these two thought leaders, we’ve created an infographic featuring a few of our favorite quotes to ponder for the New Year.

We often find inspiration and motivation in listening to the thoughtful words of people who excel in their field and who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of their craft. We hope to extend the same source of inspiration to you, and that these words will nurture your passion for marketing fresh produce. Happy New Year!
