Hadrian Stone is an author, marketing and AI strategist, and entrepreneur often described as The Dark Strategist and the Machiavelli of Marketing. His work dismantles outdated frameworks and rebuilds them for today's ruthless attention economy. Through a fusion of psychology, philosophy, and raw marketing execution, Stone explores the hidden laws that govern influence, competition, and survival in modern markets. His latest work, The 23 Laws of Marketing: Master Them or Die, has been called the darker, more uncompromising counterpart to Ries & Trout's classic 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, and even compared to The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene as the marketing counterpart. Creator of The Machiavellian Marketing Framework™ (MMF), Stone is curating and inspiring a new wave of Machiavellian Marketers for today's digital & algorithmic age.
