SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) June 12, 2018 -- Linqia, a leader in influencer marketing and performance content technology, today announces that its co-founder Maria Sipka will be speaking at The Walmart Women's Empowerment Summit, presented by Kimberly Clark. The event will be held at John Q Hammons on Thursday, June 21, as part of the NWA Championship Week in Northwest Arkansas.
Maria Sipka pioneered influencer marketing in early 2000 and is the visionary and co-founder behind Linqia. Maria is passionate about social impact storytelling, based on the belief that all ideas start with two things – emotional connection and inspired action. In today’s world, people are looking for ways to shift their emotions into action, looking for ways to manifest change.
The G.I.V.E. Code was designed to inspire people to become a catalyst for their dreams, shifting them into action and potentially impacting billions of people. The G.I.V.E. Code stands for:
G - Start with generosity by rewarding unconventional emotion
I - Think infinitely, without boundaries, inspiring positivity and happiness
V - Come from a place of vulnerability by thinking about the individual. It's about them, not you.
E - Infuse your goals with energy and ignite a positive mindset
