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 spoke on the fourth and final day of our Annual Sales Meeting, in front of 1200 employees. We knew that the audience would be tired and less receptive than they were on day one! Scott’s high energy and hilarious presentation was exactly what was needed – his unique brand of definitely relevant content and delightfully irreverent delivery resulted in the attendees highest feedback score for any presenter over the four-day period. Ian MacDonald – Senior Vice President – AutoTrader

These were tweeted at the same time, unsolicited, after a recent talk:

“For over an hour, Scott enlightened and entertained a very jaded group on the changing landscape of social media with insightful and  humorous examples of brand initiatives.  Of all the conference speakers, Scott ranked the highest in delivering content and keeping our audience engaged.  I’d highly recommend Scott as a potential keynote.” – Kevin Kirby, Senior Director-Worldwide Sales, Hard Rock International

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

“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 all year.” Tom Moradpour, PepsiCo, International Marketing Director, Pepsi

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

As another sampling, here is a recent conference keynote, from the Direct Marketing Association event in Las Vegas:

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

“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

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

Scott was one of the most well received speakers we have ever had.  Not only was he engaging, but also informative.  Delegates were able to walk away with valuable and usable information.  People are already asking us to have him back again next year. He really was, as one delegate wrote, “FABULOUS”. -  Rachel Cleland, Association Manager of Marketing Association for Credit Unions (MACU).

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

His first book entitled “UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.” made multiple best-seller lists and met rave reviews from people around the world. It was also 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 was also released in February 2012, and his new book was just released “The Book Of Business Awesome: How Engaging Your Customers and Employees Can Make Your Business Thrive“.

Some of the sessions that are available for your event:

The Business Of Awesome (and UnAwesome) This talk from his new book covers key business concepts related to marketing, branding, public relations, social media, human resources and customer service. It’s about the authentic touch, and the ability to connect technology with engagement to the level of Awesome. It includes case studies of successful businesses that gained exposure through being awesome and effective. This talk provides actionable tools enabling audience members to apply the concepts immediately to their own businesses. The flip side The Business Of UnAwesome, shares the train-wreck stories of unsuccessful businesses and showcases what not to do.

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.
