Speaking Topics

Future Web Trends

How do agencies and brands plan for the future of ubiquitous computing? It’s in the narrative construction. Starting with Aristotle and poetry, we look at how to structure immersive experiences for tomorrows audience using examples of available technology.

Learning from Broadcast to Make Evocative UX

Creating experiences that suck people in and keep them coming back for more is what everyone wants in their Website. But how do you approach it?

If we want to create a flow state for our audience, we have to look towards the techniques that have been so successful in Film and Television.

From the logistics of the planning phases to the ways directors and writers manipulate action to suspend disbelief: technology now allows marketers to employ these methods to engage the people who mean the most to their brands.

Widget Strategy for Agencies

Portable and social media seem so abstract, it’s challenging for agencies to understand where they belong in the channel. But there’s lots of good news for agencies here. We’ll talk about how to identify what’s right for audiences, the product mix that both brand & consumers are looking for, pitfalls to watch out for, and a few case studies on how portable media is best served by agencies.

Social Media is Direct Response

People often look at Social Media as an entirely separate entity. But it’s really turbo-charged direct response. The affinity campaigns of yesterday are the widgets and social networks of today.

So Much More

That’s not just the most generic subhead one could think of, it’s really true. Working with you on a presentation is like a mini-consulting arrangement. We’ll talk about your needs, where the organization is going, and how Michael’s experience can lend valuable insight.
