How to choose and book a marketing speaker

What marketing speakers bring to your event

A marketing keynote shows your team how the strongest brands earn attention, build loyalty and turn customers into advocates, from people who have built those brands themselves.

Seth Godin, a Marketing Hall of Fame inductee, speaks on marketing and innovation. Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerMedia, focuses on digital marketing and attention. Daymond John, founder of FUBU, and Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND Snacks, both investors on ABC’s Shark Tank, cover branding and entrepreneurship. Julie Wainwright brings the e-commerce view as founder of The RealReal, and Omar Johnson shows how cultural intelligence drives brand growth.

How to choose the right marketing speaker

Start with the marketing problem your audience is trying to solve, then narrow the list:

  • Brand or digital. Brand building, digital and social channels, and customer experience are different keynotes.
  • Audience. Marketing teams want tactics they can use; executive audiences want the strategy and the business case.
  • Founder or practitioner. Founders tell the story of building a brand; agency and in-house leaders speak to how marketing works day to day.
  • Budget and format. Compare the fee ranges and travel locations on each card, and check who offers a virtual keynote.
