Non-notable author and "content strategist". Article is based on passing mentions, profiles in associated websites and one interview in a marketing blog (ref #1), that is full of uncritical puffery and softball questions - it does not contain substantial biographical information and is not an independent reliable source to establish notability. A Google search revealed only short author bios for his publications, more passing mentions and 1-2 advertorials for his events, but no in-depth biographical information from an independent reliable source.
