Turning the Influence Edition #2: Marti Rose x From The Lobby
@turningtheinfluence: Where influence begins with a page.
A curated book club for the people shaping modern influence, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. This is for everyone who touches the influencer marketing ecosystem, from creators and talent managers to consultants, brand and growth strategists, and CEOs.
Each gathering includes a guided discussion circle with thoughtfully crafted notecards designed to spark meaningful conversation, deeper perspective, and real connection. This event series also collaborates with industry leaders nationwide, bringing in fresh voices and viewpoints across markets.
Think: intentional conversations, genuine connections, and ideas that bring the industry closer together. After each session, you’ll also be invited into an intimate group chat to continue the conversation and deepen the friendships.
Please join us after you’ve already read the book! All books can be picked up at OSEA Skincare Studio (1732 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291), where you’ll receive a complimentary copy of The Invisible List along with an OSEA Malibu Vagus Nerve Oil.
About the Edition #2 Hosts: Marti Rose + Myriah
Marti Rose Shanker is the founder of Marti Rose, a newly established New York-based influencer marketing agency that gives “agency” back to 'better-for-you brands' and creators. With a brand-first POV and experience scaling Seed Health’s influencer marketing strategy, she now works with 'better-for-you' brands on performance-driven influencer programming. She also represents an intimate roster of creators across lifestyle, wellness, beauty, and culture. Her data-driven, conscious approach prioritizes engagement, cultural relevance, and creator-led community moments.
She is also behind Turning the Influence, a creator economy book club born from a craving for deeper connection and more meaningful networking moments within the influencer marketing industry. At its core, it’s about prioritizing offline connection just as much as online presence. It's creating space to step away from screens, read a d*** book, and hear unfiltered perspectives from her favorite industry peers.
Myriah is a SoCal native who spends her days as a Partnerships Manager at The Lobby, connecting the coolest brands with the best creators. Before that, she was behind the scenes at Garmentory, helping small independent labels grow and find their people — she's basically obsessed with finding hidden-gem brands and watching them blow up. When she’s not obsessing over brands, you'll find her wrangling her new puppy, hiking a mountain, or throwing clay at the pottery wheel.
The Lobby is an invite-only platform where top brands discover, connect, and collab with pre-vetted creators — managing influencer gifting, paid partnerships, and UGC all in one place. From micro to macro, our network gives brands access to the creators shaping culture, without the back-and-forth of manual sourcing and outreach. Trusted by hundreds of brands including Jolie, InnBeauty, Fatty15, Heart & Soil, Oishii, Madewell, Ghia, and Ceremonia.
