Words of Wisdom
What Attendees Are Saying
“After attending the 'How To Actually Scale FB Ads' breakout session, we learned we were paying WAY too timidly & leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars (even millions) on the table. We took the lessons we learned in that session & it resulted in over $1M in additional revenue in Q4."
Austin Maxwell
Co-Founder
Shark Tank Alumni, Season 10
After attending the TikTok panel at the reunion and also seeing the success another brand that attended had with their post I decided to give it a go! So I posted this video on TikTok and it got 15.5 MILLION views and resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales and counting!"

Wow. Just wow. We just wrapped up Amplify Austin, and I'm still processing the energy, inspiration, & game-changing insights from that room. The speaker lineup? Next level.
