First-Hand Experiences
“Justin gives a great session on PR to founders that offers tactical, really useful tips, as well as big picture, directional advice. He mixes his own experience with observations of others’ execution and sprinkles in some humor to boot. highly recommended!”
– Kerty Levy, Techstars Managing Director
“We hosted Justin at our membership luncheon at Nashville Entrepreneur Center to talk about how to amplify business through trust channels. The concept is smart. He’s skilled at delivering an engaging presentation and the crowded house couldn’t get enough of his advice afterwards. As a 20+ PR veteran, I found myself learning stakeholder management in a new and fun way. Trust channels!”
– Angel May, Senior Vice President Marketing Communications
“Having Justin present to our organization on fostering creativity was wonderful! He provided thoughtful and relevant insights that our members were able to apply to their careers, enabling them to further grow. I would absolutely recommend Justin for any future speaking engagements.”
– Tony Rivera, American Marketing Association VP of Programming
“Our organization engaged Justin to deliver a keynote address at an executive event that we host. The challenge for Justin was to present how to develop creativity in organizations not traditionally thought of as being creative (in this case, utilities). Justin delivered an engaging, thought-provoking session to our audience that was well received as evidenced by our executive attendees who provided great feedback and crowded Justin after his session with follow-up questions and comments.”
– Mike Smith, VP Energy Central. Energy Summit
“Justin is a maverick when it comes to moderating conversations and keeping an event both interesting and artful with his clever and charming approach to storytelling. He helped moderate one of the panels we hosted for the Summer Startup Tour. His metaphors and ability to keep the conversation directed kept the audience engaged while we talked shop with entrepreneurs building physical products in Iowa.”
