A brilliant host and MC

What can I say other than Tony Chapman is a brilliant host and MC. Great energy AND he elevated our conference in not one but many ways. He takes the time to know what the conference is about and then sets the context each day with a spot on keynote for the audience. I especially appreciate how he deftly conducts the interview/Q&A portion with our keynotes - drawing out new insights and revelations from them we wouldn’t have heard otherwise. We ended each day with a terrific summary of key takeaways that Tony framed in concise memorable bites. Finally, he is simply wonderful to work with and a generous human being. We’re looking forward to having him back.

1. TELL A STORY, SELL A BRAND

Tony Chapman is a master strategist who has engineered go to market strategies for leading organizations across the world. He knows what it takes to make things happen and rise above the clutter to win in today’s marketplace.

2. FROM MASS TO MY

Capitalism was once defined by he who shouts loudest wins. The bigger your footprint, measured by your advertising dollars, sales force and distribution, the bigger your market share. Being big or being loud no longer matters. Mass is out, (brands, messaging, and solutions), and My is in, (my life, my family, my problems, my opportunities, my dreams, my career and my business). My is all the customer cares about, so organizations today must show customers how they give them more of what they covet and less of what they don’t in order to win their attention and their business. In this inspiring yet content-rich presentation, Tony Chapman will show how to win by moving sales and marketing strategies from Mass to My.
