Trevor Turnbull has become quite a social media marketing sensation. In 2009, he left his 9-5 job to follow his dream of working in the sports industry – and he hasn’t looked back since. Since then, he has helped professional athletes use social media outlets as a way to communicate, build their online presence, and create a legacy that will live on long after the game ends. He has also helped thousands of entrepreneurs, business professionals, and job seekers learn how to use the power of the largest professional social media service – LinkedIn – as a means to gain positive results for their careers.
Trevor has worked with countless Fortune 500 companies including General Motors and Bank of Montreal as a LinkedIn consultant, educator, and speaker. He has founded multiple, highly successful companies including Legacy After The Game, has helped grow one of the largest LinkedIn sports focus groups – Sports Networker – and was featured in several publications such as Forbes and Entrepreneur.
