Hi, I’m Mike.
Thank you for considering me as a speaker for your upcoming event.
Obviously, you want someone who knows the ins and outs of digital marketing. Someone who can inspire your audience with what’s possible but also give them specific tactics they can execute upon.
And, of course, you want someone who walks their talk and knows the latest in this ever-changing digital landscape.
If you’re nodding your head to all of this, then you’re in the right place.
While many people get on stage and speak about social media and digital marketing, I’m the real deal.
I am the founder of The Social Media Hat, an award-winning blog and social media agency, as well as Brand Evangelist at Agorapulse, the top rated social media management tool.
I take a holistic approach to digital marketing, combining strategy with tactics to provide clients with the greatest return on their investment. Moreover, I help businesses understand the long-term value of a great content strategy and help them in weaving that content into their overall marketing plan.
I have worked with everyone from solopreneurs to major corporations to deliver measurable results, including Gary W. Goldstein, producer of Pretty Woman, Brad Fiedel, composer for The Terminator, and brands like PBS, Hubspot, Post Planner, and Agorapulse.
Popular topics I cover when presenting:
- The Blogger’s Mindset – How To Create 10X Content 10X Faster
- How To Turn Social Media Activity Into Valuable Website Content
- Understanding Social Media & Content Marketing
- How To Create A Blog Post In 45 Minutes Or Less
- How To Integrate Social Media Into Your Overall Marketing Plan
- How To Craft A Marketing Plan
- The Right Social Media Tools For Business Success
If you’ve never seen me present or heard me online, here’s a YouTube Playlist of live interviews and recorded presentations. And here is a series of panel interviews I conducted featuring Guy Kawasaki, Rebekah Radice, Mark Schaefer, Joe Pulizzi and others. That will give you a taste of what I can do.
Naturally, I want to make sure that I’m the best fit for your upcoming event.
That’s why I customize each presentation for my audience. I want to know that attendees are walking away with real value that’s relevant to their roles.
However, I also realize that I may not be the best person to tell you how well-received my presentations have been.
Take a look at these responses from some recent events:
“Loved the newsjacking idea, great tips and tools, THANK YOU! My favorite presentation of the day!”
– Jessika Phillips, NOW Marketing Group & Founder of Social Media Week Lima
“Mike, thank you so much for guest lecturing to my Social Media Marketing students about Blogging strategy. The students, as well as I, learned so much. In fact, we learned things not even on our radar. All you taught us about understanding your audience, being timely and asking yourself will they care was critical. Our blogs in the College of Business are challenging to say the least as we have many types of readers: prospective students, students, faculty, parents, and alumni.
Our student run blogs and social media for the college will be greatly enhanced as a result of your lessons.
Thank you so much and I hope you are on board to guest lecture again next semester. We would love to have you back once again.”
– Prof. Perry Drake, University of Missouri – St. Louis
“Mike’s presentation was fabulous. He delivered highly relevant and useful information, coupled with great visuals. Mike’s tone of voice is confident and reassuring, which helps the audience to trust him quickly. Working with Mike to set up our webinar went very smoothly. He’s that magic combination of professional and flexible.”
– Susan Moeller, Sr. Marketing Manager, BuzzSumo
