Keynote Marketing Speeches

The Biggest Myths in Marketing Today
How to Integrate Traditional and Digital Marketing

marketing keynote speaker

There is no such thing as “inbound marketing.” There is no such thing as “content marketing.” There is no such thing as “social media marketing.” Most of the people who use those terms either do not understand marketing or are selling something. In Samuel’s marketing keynote speaker presentations, he calls for a revolution in the way that digital marketers approach what they do.

Samuel’s keynote marketing presentation goes through the overall strategic marketing process step-by-step and then shows how to integrate that approach with the model world. He is one of the best marketing speakers to anchor any conference or business meeting with this comprehensive and inspiring presentation that will get people talking! For more:

TV Speaker

Contrary to popular opinion, TV is not dead. See Samuel’s Drum column on the topic for more. TV has entered into an unparalleled, creative age that belies the common misconception among digital marketers that no one is watching television anymore and that it is a useless marketing and advertising channel.

Internet Marketing

The Marketing Department of the Future

As an Internet marketing speaker, Samuel presents how traditional marketers need to understand the Internet is merely a new and specialized set of communications channels that sit in existing marketing communications processes. Publicists will need to learn how to use social media and other online channels to do publicity. Direct marketers will need to learn how to get results from sending marketing collateral over postal mail and e-mail. Creative teams will need to learn create content for both the online and offline worlds.

How PR Can Help Digital Marketing

Tactics such as PR that are incorrectly called “outbound marketing” will always remain relevant because outbound marketing builds brands.

Analytics

Ad Blocking is the Biggest Threat to Martech and Adtech Today

Most people think ad blockers affect only advertisers and publishers. But all marketers are being affected because more than 70 million people are now either using ad blockers that block analytics scripts automatically or can do so with a one-click configuration. As a result, martech and adtech platforms are gravely threatened and need to respond.

Public Relations

Publicity Strategies that Get Viral Attention

Over the past one hundred years, publicists have developed a set of specific strategies to get attention for their companies, executives, products and services. As a social media speaker, Samuel Scott explains how to execute those strategies to get earned media coverage in major publications and spread virally on social media at the same time. You can see more in his essay on Moz.

Online Advertising

The Billions You’re Losing in Online Advertising Fraud

There is billions of dollars of fraud, deception, kickbacks, and misrepresentation occurring in the digital ad industry, and most marketers and advertisers are completely unaware of it. As an online advertising speaker, Samuel shines a light on what media buyers, publishers, and ad networks are really doing. Samuel wrote about the topic in The Drum, TechCrunch, and Moz.

Social Media

Social Media is Useless — But It Could Be a Lot Better

Social media networks are merely communications channels over which marketers execute their existing functions and strategies. As a social media marketing speaker, Samuel can describe why “social media marketing” does not actually exist, why there will be no “social media jobs” in five years, and how marketers should respond.
