Speaking

Posted On: July 6, 2009

Here is a recent four-word testimonial, that Scott aims for every talk:

“Best. Opening. Speaker. Ever.” – National Arts Marketing Conference Attendee

This is the talk she was referring to (2 minute video clip):

In the past year, Scott has keynoted conferences non-stop around the world on the topics of engagement, social media and UnMarketing. B2B, B2C, Government, Non-Profit, Associations, from tech audiences in New Delhi, India to tourism pros in the Yukon. From clients like PepsiCo, Cirque du Soleil, Saks Fifth Avenue to the Red Cross, his job is to engage, inspire and help focus your audience towards better business. However, anyone can write a speaking bio (main bio here). We thought it would be best if it was written by people who have booked Scott to speak instead (to see more and full testimonials, go here):

Awesome

“Scott’s passionate message of engagement with customers and employees was delivered in a power packed presentation that left our audience laughing, crying, tweeting, blogging and running back to change how they think and act in their lives and businesses.”  Joni Thomas Doolin – Founder + CEO – People Report

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“An eye-opener of why, and how, we need to start shifting our marketing weight from the broadcast leg to the dialogue leg. And it doesn’t hurt one bit that he made it the funniest and most entertaining presentation we all sat through in 2010″ Tom Moradpour, PepsiCo, International Marketing Director, Pepsi

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“WOW! He is one of the most entertaining, knowledgeable and captivating public speakers I have ever seen! Scott exceeded them all and left our crowd of 1,000 + attendees feeling inspired, energized and gave them real actionable take-aways. Our attendees are still talking about Scott’s performance.” – Rick Calvert, CEM, CEO & Co-founder, BlogWorld & New Media Expo

As another sampling, here is a recent conference keynote, from March 2012 at New South Digital:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Scott Stratten was second day keynote of our conference in New Orleans – not an easy task for sure! He blew everyone away with his amazing energy, fun examples and expert insights. Scott had everyone laughing, clapping enthusiastic…in many ways he set the tone for our entire conference. Bertil Snel, Global Director Partner Marketing, Adobe Systems

His new book is out from Wiley & Sons entitled “UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.” It has already made multiple best-seller lists and met rave reviews from people around the world. It was also just named one of the top business books of the year by 1-800-CEO READ and one of the top 10 books of 2010 by Under30CEO.com. The paperback edition will be released in February, and his new book is due in the fall, both in 2012.

Some of the sessions that are available for your event:

Engagement 2.0 - Sales, marketing and customer service has changed incredibly over the past few years and engagement is king. It’s not “if” you’re customers are talking online, it’s “how often” and “where”. This session walks the audience through the landscape of online engagement both today and what’s coming tomorrow. The audience will have a much clearer picture of what tools will suit their needs and which ones to ignore. From your front-line employees, to angry customers online, the people doing the talking for your brand is no longer through a press release.

Social Currency - Social media isn’t a fad or one or two sites, it’s the way your past, present and future customers interact. Are you there with them? It’s not enough to just show-up, you need to build your social currency within certain platforms online to capitalize in social media. This session walks the audience through industry specific examples of what’s gone wrong, whose doing it right, and most importantly, how they can start creating social currency right away.

Viral Marketing 2.0 - Word of mouth is a wonderful thing, but if you’re behind the times on how the word is spread, you (and your company) will be left behind. This session talks about the new way things go viral as well as what makes them work so well. It goes above and beyond the old “forwarded email” and goes over capturing momentum within social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and social bookmarking like Digg and Reddit. After creating online movies that have generated over 65 million views, as well as “homemade” style YouTube videos that get tens of thousands of views overnight, Scott walks the crowd through how he did it (including how he recently got www.Nooooooooooooooo.com to over 7 million visitors without spending a penny), what you have to avoid if you want to do it, and the keys to making it successful for you
