The Inevitable Demise of the Corporation…and how to save it?
Take a look around. Companies are falling like flies. Entire industries are starting to wobble as a result of the seismic forces of change, disruptive effect of technology and destabilizing force from startups. Corporations have themselves to blame.
As the saying goes, “let’s see how big we can get until we suck.” Mission accomplished. Corporations that once graced the Fortune 500 are now casualties’ of war.
They’ve become too bureaucratic; too political; too dysfunctional; too risk averse and as a result, have lost their competitive edge. And if you expected good news or a happy ending, there may not be one.
That doesn’t mean we can’t try. In this keynote, Joseph Jaffe will offer a path to redemption, but with full warning, it may be too late.
Joe Jaffe, Admiral at The HMS Beagle, will discuss how Technology, Startups and Disruption have created a perfect story of change and chaos in business and what business leaders can do about it.
Attendees will get a sneak brief to the upcoming book, “Built to Suck: The inevitable demise of the corporation…and how to save it?” and how the “heresy” philosophy is built for companies and brands that know they need to change but are struggling to make the first step.
Learn what it means to “put yourself out of business” and how to use brand extinction as a launch pad towards business transformation (new business models, revenue streams).
A perfect storm is coming…in fact it may already be here. A combination of forces that could very well cause the bottom to fall out the media model.
To prepare for this scenario, consider a new marketing model in which the optimal paid media budget would be zero.
In this bold and provocative keynote, 4-time author and thought leader, Joseph Jaffe – Strategic Consultant will outline the Z.E.R.O. Manifesto of how brands can move from being tenants to landlords and successfully adopt and activate the 4-pronged approach of Zealots, Entrepreneurship, Retention and Owned Assets.
Jaffe will introduce a 10-point action plan based on his Marketing BowTie framework designed to help brands get to a 50/50 split between “direct” investment and “indirect” expenditure before 2020. Be a hero…commit to Z.E.R.O.
How to use existing customers to gain new ones
What if we got it all wrong? What if we’ve been going about marketing completely the wrong way?
In this provocative keynote, Joseph Jaffe will outline how retention can become the new acquisition for businesses today and in doing so, literally transform the way companies go to market and establish a critical competitive edge and advantage.
Using his new “flipped funnel” methodology, Jaffe will outline the notion of customer experience, introduce the 10 new rules of customer service and present a social media-powered customer activation model that harnesses the true potential and impact of customer-generated word-of-mouth, reviews and referrals.
If “getting more from less” has become your new mandate, you won’t want to miss a new approach which presents the possibility of doubling your revenues whilst halving your budget in the process.
The Brand-Startup Imperative
In this presentation, author, entrepreneur and thought leader will topline and outline the role startups can play in terms of providing brands a lifeline to collaborate, differentiate and evolve.
Today startups seems to be all the rage and arguably the next big thing.
Only they aren’t. As in they always WERE the big thing. So how should brands be thinking about partnering with startups?
Or should they be collaborating at all in the first place?
And what’s in it for the startups? Perhaps the best place to begin as the point at which these two diametrically worlds come together: marketing.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
