I’m an experienced and energetic speaker who has appeared at many conferences, seminars and workshops. I combine my insight about social media, content and technology with an informative and engaging speaking style.
My strength is explaining in a user-friendly way how the Web and social media are changing how we live, work and play. I can speak about Web 2.0, social media, the Web’s impact on the media and the challenges/opportunities for start-ups and fast-growing businesses.
Some of the places in which I have given presentations this year include PodCamp Toronto (here’s a link to the video), MagNet, the IABC World Congress, NXNEi, WordCamp Toronto and the Burlington Economic & Development Association.
Here’s a presentation I did about social media earlier last year at DemoCamp in Waterloo.
Startup Camp Waterloo 5 Mark Evans Keynote.
Some of the things I can speak about include:
Social Media 101: An overview on why social media is becoming so popular and how it has the potential to live up to the hype.
Social media’s impact on marketing and sales: How social media and the variety of tools have changed the rules of engagement. Rather than companies telling consumers what’s going on, it’s now a two-way dialogue.
The Myths of Social Media: While social media tools such as Twitter and blogs are free, the reality is doing social media successfully requires a strategic plan, a lot of work and resources (people, money).
Social Media and the Changing Media Landscape: As a long-time reporter who began using the Web in 1995, I can talk about on how media organizations are evolving amid the growth of user-generated content, and what companies need to do capture the spotlight.
Twitter, Anyone?: Twitter has captured the imagination of millions of people but how does it work, and why has it become so popular as a information, marketing and personal branding tool?
