“What made Greg such a delight is that he’s a natural storyteller. Nobody wanted to stop listening and leave when we came to the end of the session. There’s nothing more wonderful than listening to someone who has something important to say and can say it a way that engages and entertains."

Randall Ringer / New York AMA!

"Greg Verdino is exactly what you look for in a speaker. Scary smart yet humble. Relaxed yet completely prepared. Authoritative yet funny and accessible. Greg knows everything there is to know about the future of marketing, and did a fantastic job of delivering interesting, meaningful and, most importantly, actionable information to an already well informed audience."

Len Herstein / Brand ManageCamp!

"Few speakers energize people in a way that makes them want to take action. You were one of those speakers."

Senior Manager / Halliburton!

"There are lots of people who can talk about what's 'cool' and what's 'new,' but Greg goes beyond the hype and gives you the nitty-gritty on what it means to you and your business. He's smart, funny (and fun), easy to work with and (most importantly for those of us who plan events) he delivers on his promise. Actually, don't hire him. Because I'd rather keep him as my own secret ringer."

Ann Handley / MarketingProfs!
