“David Meerman Scott was a keynoter for the 17th Annual Healthcare Internet Conference, a gathering of approximately 650 hospital and health system Web leaders. His keynote was a superb way to launch the 2nd morning of the annual conference with a nice blend of information, humor and energy. The session created a buzz of discussions, tweets and questions that carried through the meeting. He was on point and revved up the audience. Some comments from our attendees included: ‘Fantastic and thought provoking,’ ‘Wow, really blown away!’ and ‘Great presentation.’ From an administrative perspective, Scott was easy to work with, accommodating, met every deadline easily and was totally organized. I would highly recommend him if your audience needs to better understand how to be ready for a real time marketing world.”

“After listening to an audio version of David’s book, The New Rules of Marketing & PR, multiple times, I invited him to our headquarters to keynote a two-day “summit” for 12 company presidents and 48 marketing and sales executives. My motive was to catapult our companies’ marketing efforts into the 21st century. It turned out to be one of the top five summits I’ve had in 25 years. It transformed the way our companies think about marketing and PR. Plus, we got a ROI from the event within 48 hours. Instead of regurgitating theories, David gave us action items we could implement immediately to impact our bottom line. Our attendees didn’t have time to check their Blackberry because he moved so fast from idea to idea. When David signed a copy of his book for me, he wrote, ‘Remember Rick, you are what you publish.’ In today’s world, that says it all.”

Today’s communications revolution presents tremendous growth opportunities for those who know how to tap this once-in-a-millennium transformation.
