Keynote Topics

Fandom is not just for celebrities anymore. Forward-thinking companies have found that it’s rocket fuel for business growth. They’ve created fanocracies which value customers differently and harness their passions to make business personal.

In this talk, David Meerman Scott unpacks the science behind fandom that he and his millennial daughter Reiko uncovered when writing Fanocracy.

Audiences learn from inspiring examples of offbeat and mainstream businesses and organizations – even those from seemingly fan-impossible mundane categories like car insurance and enterprise software – that have harnessed passion to create fans, both external and internal, to win big.

The way most companies sell is not aligned with the way people buy. Engaging customers on their own terms is a huge growth opportunity.

In this presentation, David Meerman Scott unpacks fresh, measurable and low- and no-cost strategies to instantly and directly reach your audience. Scott’s high-energy presentations shine a light on the best examples of success from a wide variety of large and small organizations – from business-to-business outfits to rock bands, nonprofits to entrepreneurial growth businesses.

He inspires people with confidence to try new ways to get found at the exact moment buyers are looking. Social media are the tools but it’s the Real-Time mindset that drives strategy in a world where speed and agility win – not the biggest budget. Learn how to win hearts and minds of the people crucial to your success and profitability.

This presentation will talk about how the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of superficial online communications at a time when people are hungry for true human connection.

In today’s challenging world, we all have an opportunity to use online media, especially video, to reach people and create those powerful connections that build fans.
