What makes a 6 Star Leader? Is the 6th Star really 5 plus 1? These are the questions that we answer through our conversations with guests who are driven by a purpose bigger than themselves and have a desire to reach more people. Our guests are successful business owners, entrepreneurs and passionate professionals who always aspire to evolve, improve, and better themselves and the lives of those they impact. Most often they put the customer experience at the forefront of everything they do. Each week your host Aveline Clarke creates a space where she and her guest have a conversation about what it takes to bring that 6th Star to the world through their business. This isn’t one of those podcasts where the hosts fire questions at an interviewee in the hot seat; it’s a collaborative exploration and ongoing global conversation about customer journey excellence, employee engagement, humanising business and what that 6th star really means, and how it can be used to create more impact for a better future for us all.

Here’s some information about our guest, Vinnie:
Vinnie Romano, Co-Founder and Chief of Revenue
Vinnie is a 17-year veteran of the advertising industry, having had the opportunity to work with the most-loved brands, in the industry's most iconic creative agencies. He has had the pleasure of holding senior leadership positions, consulting C-level individuals at the largest organisations across EU & APAC, assisting these companies in proving marketing ROI and saving millions in the process.
In 2015, he started his first agency, Frizbee - focused on helping enterprise tech and financial services brands with their B2B digital marketing strategy and execution; to harvest leads, nurture them and gain new and repeat business sales through creative, digital and automated means.
It was here, the same clients he produced brand work for, expressed an appetite in leveraging the power of the LinkedIn platform for their own profiles, adding to the reach and share of voice of the communications already going into market. Naturally, an official partnership with LinkedIn was formed and the start of Vinnie’s manual Social Selling production journey had begun.
Back then, the amount of resource required to pull together these types of programs meant that his agency had to charge anywhere between $100k - $150k per profile, per year. In 2021, he and Wayne created MySocial.ai to be able to provide this service for as little as $16.50 p/month p/user.
