> rave reviews from conference organizers
"We've had the pleasure of working with David Meerman Scott on several occasions, and he never fails to deliver compelling insights. At our most recent gathering – a group of PR professionals from enterprises large and small – David was challenging and thought-provoking, but with a familiar humor that drew the audience in from the start. Ironically, the most revealing feedback came from one unfortunate attendee who had to leave early for another engagement. 'This is great stuff,' he said. As he slipped out the door, the pained look on his face said it all."
Matt Toll Marketing Director
Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group
"David Meerman Scott delivered the keynote at the MarketingProfs business-to-business forum. His presentation about viral marketing was upbeat, exciting and motivational. The 350 people who attended left David's session energized and enthusiastic about implementing his ideas."
Roy Young President
MarketingProfs
“My sincerest thanks for joining us at ICIC’s 2008 Inner City 100 Summit. Your session on The New Rules of Marketing and PR received rave reviews from the audience and, as a testament to how interesting and informative you were, we are still getting requests for extra copies of your book. The Inner City 100 companies in the audience will be better able to grow and scale their businesses as a result of your session.”
David G. Latimore President and CEO
Initiative for a Competitive Inner City
"David Meerman Scott spoke at our CRM Acceleration Summit as the marketing luminary sharing buyer behaviors and smart marketing trends that are driving message penetration today. We also offered David’s highly acclaimed book to every attendee, which was well received as a continuance to David’s presentation. Our only mistake was to not make David our keynote speaker and give him more presentation time as our audience of sales and marketing executives claimed that he had the best presentation and offered the most valuable information. I would strongly recommend David as a keynote speaker at executive level events."

"Thank you for speaking at our conference. Your presentation was excellent, well-received and laid the groundwork for the remainder of the conference. What more could we have asked!"

"Thank you again for a first class presentation at our Leadership Conference! Your message was absolutely perfect and from my own perspective and background, it is amazing to see how many folks are still “clinging to the old ways” while there are some wonderful and exciting new avenues right at their own fingertips!"

“Thank you for helping make our 'Insurance Media 2.0' success. Attendees talked very favorably about your presentation in the many post meeting e-mails I received. The insurance industry doesn't have an historical propensity for going outside the industry for expert speakers, but it proved to be a "home run" with our audience and attendees. Your content was very timely and delivered professionally and enthusiastically. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any other group."
Walt Podgurski Chairman & CEO
The Insurance Media Association
"We originally hired David Meerman Scott to present at a breakout session of 75 senior Investor Relations Officers at the 2007 National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) annual conference. Coincidently, his presentation was on the same day as the release of his new book The New Rules of Marketing & PR so working with David and the NIRI organization, we expanded David's presence into a formal book launch and signing. The energy was awesome, and his presentation, originally planned for 75 people, expanded to be a Standing Room Only performance to almost three times that amount! Engaging and thoughtful, yet full of advice our clients could use the next day - that's David."

"David, it was a pleasure meeting you and a real treat having you present for us. Everyone (including me) went home rethinking their approach to the web, their marketing and the world of possibilities open to them. I'll let you know if we do anything REALLY exciting and what the results are. In any event, you'll be hearing from us again, because I've already heard from several attendees that they want you back."
Nora Nealis, Executive Director
National Cleaners Association
"David Meerman Scott was live at our headquarters when he spoke to our worldwide sales and marketing team with live video and WebEx feeds to offices in three countries and many U.S. cities. David's presentation was informative, interesting and the case studies made it immediately relevant to our business. Many of the global team members commented that they couldn't wait to get back to their desks to try out some of David's techniques. That's exactly the response we had hoped to receive."
Lori Sayde-Mehrtens Director of Publicity

"David embodies two things every seminar or conference organizer wants in an expert speaker -- he's compellingly relevant and thoroughly professional. His innovative strategies for winning with content on the Web were eye-openers for attendees at Hanley Wood's American Housing Conference. Meanwhile, David managed to boil a half-day's worth of learning and value into the 20-minute time slot we'd allotted him -- and, as they say in radio, he hit the post."
Vince Giorgi Vice President
Hanley Wood Marketing
"In seconds, David perceived the interest and objectives of our audience--IT suppliers interested in conveying the value of their solution offerings to new customers. David's presentation and style engaged our members immediately. His examples of "new" PR methodologies were relevant, timely, and enlightening. He gave all of us a lot to think about as we consider ways to better harness the power of the web for viral and closed-loop marketing. David will no doubt be hearing from our members, and we look forward to welcoming him back at a future event."
Peggy Wnton Vice President, Membership, Sales & Marketing
AIIM, the ECM Association
"David Meerman Scott's plenary session at our annual meeting was a raging success. The 600 plus attendees left the meeting armed with new ways to think about marketing their content. His latest book, "Cashing In With Content" was available for sale and over the next few days I saw people with their copies tucked under their arms."
Susan Kesner President
Society for Scholarly Publishing
"David Meerman Scott really 'woke up' our hospital marketing/pr directors to the 'New Rules of Marketing & PR'. It was quite exciting and could have been a full day session, instead of just the keynote address. His understanding of new media is light years ahead of most people, and I was pleased to have a thought leader kick off my conference."
Susan Hassell Vice President

"I wanted to thank you for speaking at our monthly Insurance Services of New England meeting. You were superb. You are an excellent speaker with a tremendous amount of information packed into your program, which was smart and very enlightening to our group. Your research and work are ground breaking for us media starved businesspeople. That is the good news. The bad news is no one will be as good in the future. Now what do I do?" - Lawrence L. McGlynn, Co-Chairman

“David’s session on the “New Rules of Marketing and PR” immediately captivated our members, a mixed group of professionals and entrepreneurs. David was attentive to the audience’s needs, funny and knowledgeable. We received excellent feedback from many attendees, some even claimed they were going straight to their computers to take advantage of David’s advice! Thank you, David, for making this a wonderful event.”
