Testimonials from Event Organizers

People have told me that I bring the qualities of an expert to help people focus on practical approaches, but I also tend to exhort people to get out of their comfort zones and do something. I'm from New York, so I tend to be rather plainspoken—your audience will definitely understand what I am saying, even on the most technical subjects. And I try to do it with a touch of humor, because I think that people remember things a lot better when they are relaxed and having fun. But don't take my word for it—hear what conference organizers and event planners around the world have said:

Jan Mortensen, President of Guava: "We invited Mike to speak at a dinner for a number of our largest clients, and potential new clients. It was a tremendous success. Mike is an eloquent speaker in a down-to-earth way. He is entertaining and educating at the same time and he inspires marketers and executives to pursue their companies' online potential. In search marketing, Mike may follow his own advice of doing it wrong quickly. But as a speaker, he does it right. And he does it right all the time. We look forward to welcoming Mike back to other engagements."

Alan-Rimm Kaufman, Founder of Rimm-Kaufman Group: "Web marketing can be very complicated, and some presenters make it even more so. Mike Moran takes the opposite approach. He makes the complex understandable without oversimplifying important details. Mike's content is spot-on and his dry wit keeps listeners entertained. His talks have a twinge of the motivational: Mike urges marketers to get off their duff and start trying new ideas. Whether for an hour or day, whether for the tactical or the strategic, I'd recommend Mike Moran to organizations seeking solid training in Web marketing."

Stephan Spencer, Founder of NetConcepts: "Having attended many hundreds of conferences, I've heard countless presenters. Of them, Mike Moran stands above the rest. With his wit and enthusiasm, he totally captures the audience. But when it comes to the content, this is where he REALLY delivers. I had the pleasure of working with Mike chairing a series of conferences for the American Marketing Association. He was a top-rated speaker and I would invite him back in a heartbeat."

Edward O'Hara, Director for JupiterMedia Northern Europe: "Mike Moran is an exceptional communicator, able to reduce the complexity of online marketing into simple to comprehend steps. His speaking ability adds motivation to the much underestimated impact of marketing on the Web. I have partnered with Mike at major conferences on Search Marketing in Scandinavia where he performed as key note speaker and his inspiring thought provoking speeches effectively motivates delegates to allocate resources successfully to marketing on the Web. Mike succeeds in the ultimate "walk the talk" in a highly convincing and provocative way bringing reality and execution to a subject in much need of it."

Brian Offenberger, Host Online Marketing with RSS Ray: "Mike Moran has the rare ability to inform audiences in an engaging and entertaining manner. Mike's relatable presentation style puts his audience at ease and his put-to-work now information is beneficial to businesses of all shapes and sizes. We have had Mike appear on our program twice with absolutely phenomenal audience response."

Morten Kamper, Director of FDIH, the Danish e-Business Society: "Mike is a really experienced and inspiring speaker, who always facilitates high-quality contact with the audience. I give Mike Moran the highest recommendations. Mike is a truly inspiring person with great abilities to communicate to a wide audience."

Nicole Martel, organizer of Le Big Bang in Quebec: "I knew from his book Search Engine Marketing Inc. that Mike was a Web marketing guru, but he is also a great communicator. Mike's presentation at our Sales and Marketing Annual Symposium was acclaimed by all the participants. His step-by-step approach is truly one of the best marketing program I've seen. I recommend it to any companies who wish to analyse their processes and take the right actions!"

Monique de Maio, NJ MENG Chapter Chair and National Board Member: "Mike Moran was so well received by the senior marketers at our MENG (Marketing Executives Networking Group) that we can't wait to have him back. He has great content, context and a terrific way of presenting. as a subject matter expert and author (his book is great as well!)"

Edgar Valdmanis, Marketing Director, The Norwegian Computer Society: "Mike is one of the foremost speakers about marketing on the Web. He has been speaking for our membership on several occasions now, and consistently gets high scores from the participants (that's 5+ on a scale of 6). We look forward to having Mike back again."

Maybe you are getting the idea. I'm probably not the worst speaker you've ever hired. I'd love to hear about your event. Please contact me and let me know what you are looking for.
