Innovative and industry-leading corporations, including eBay, Apple, and Penton Media, as well as smaller organizations such as the Pittsburgh Technology Council and the California Association of Nonprofits – along with conference producers and community organizers – trust me to deliver presentations to key personnel, top customers, and conference attendees and others on a variety of topics, including:
- Integrated Marketing Communications
- Social media strategy and implementation
- Best practices in corporate and business blogging
- Customer service in the social age
- Business-aligned communications strategy
- Business model creation and evaluation
- Media relations and earned media placements
Anything I’ve written about for Entrepreneur magazine, Forbes.com, Today’s Campus Magazine, SUCCESS Magazine, etc., can be turned into a 45- to 90-minute in-person or online presentation, supported by a clear and compelling Prezi or PowerPoint presentation that goes beyond what most conference or corporate meeting planners expect.
