Public Speaking

“Everyone… can learn from Obama’s victory. Barack Obama is the most successful ‘new marketer’ in history. Study his campaign so that you can adapt the ideas for your business.” — David Meerman Scott, The New Rules of Marketing and PR

I speak frequently on how the internet is changing politics, non-profits, and businesses.
