We’re a Bad Influence because we INCITE change through inclusion, thought and creativity. We imagine a world where people can think critically, express themselves, and thumb their nose at the status quo, together.
Note from the editor
We started out as the Faceless Network of authentic souls on LinkedIn that wanted to help each other find our original voice from the sea of “Influence Marketers” — now our mission is to give as many professional, amateur, and hobbyist writers a place to be seen, to learn, and to collaborate. Although we’re The Bad Influence, we are actually really quite nice and would love for you to spend some time with us.
