Keynote / Conference Speaking

Get a talk your audience actually uses, not just enjoys.

Most keynote speakers on marketing have given the same talk fifty times. This one hasn't been given once yet, which means it's built from what's happening right now, not a five-year-old deck.

This isn't a new avenue I'm opening up. It's one I'm leaning into more deliberately now, with more skin in the game: I want my keynotes to be useful for the audience, not just enjoyable. What I bring to it is 24 years of material that hasn't been turned into a talk before: building a marketing function from zero twice over, running an eight-figure sprint-based campaign model, and the harder lessons from watching functions report activity instead of revenue.

A good talk from someone like me should leave an audience with one specific thing they can change on Monday morning, not a motivational close with no mechanism behind it.

How This Works

Here's What This Actually Looks Like

  • A focused talk built around one real, specific idea, not a generic "future of marketing" overview.
  • Sized to your event: keynote, panel, or workshop format.
  • One concrete takeaway your audience can act on Monday morning, not just a motivational close.
  • Built from live material: sprint-based campaigns, revenue-attribution failures, what a fractional leader actually does, not recycled slides.

Good fit if:

you're building out a speaker line-up and want a practitioner's specific point of view rather than a generic "future of marketing" talk.

Not a fit if:

you specifically need a speaker with a long conference circuit history. I'd rather earn that than claim it early.

Frequently Asked

FAQs: Keynote / Conference Speaking

Yes. Every talk is built around one real, specific idea, sized and framed for the audience in the room. A marketing conference gets a different angle than a founder-focused event, even from the same underlying material.
Standard: a lapel or handheld mic, a projector or screen for slides, and a clicker. I'll confirm specifics with your production team ahead of the event.
Fees are set per engagement, based on your event's format and scale.
For any engagement outside my home city, yes, standard travel and accommodation are part of the arrangement. We'll confirm specifics before booking.
I can provide a slide summary or a short written takeaway for attendees where useful, and I'm generally open to follow-up questions from the organizer or attendees after the event.
I'll raise this directly: since this hasn't happened in practice till now, I don't yet have a formal backup-speaker network the way established speakers bureaus offer. I'd rather be upfront about that than overpromise on it.

Worth Knowing

“73% of B2B decision-makers say an organization's thought leadership is a more trustworthy basis for judging its capabilities than its marketing materials.”
