SPEAKING

How often do brands truly spark your curiosity or fill you with wonder? Award-winning keynote speaker & marketing consultant Jon Burkhart thinks his Dynamic Difference framework can help you uncover what stories spark the curiosity of your brand’s ideal customer. He’ll explore some dangerous ideas, smash some status quos & make some real-time discoveries all in the name of proving that brands that ENERGISE are the ones that survive and thrive.

Jon will come armed with stand-out examples from the 26 countries he’s worked in and you’ll decide which brand stood out & won more customers. Together, you’ll embrace the brands that value for their customers in a unique way. These are the ones that win bigger and grow faster.

Jon will answer –

  • What unique value does your company offer your customer and how do you find or create this?
  • What’s at the very core of why your company exists? Are you telling stories in ways that energise customers and make them feel compelled to share this excitement with others?
  • What does your company do to solve customers’ problems in a unique way? Are they acting like a dynamically different challenger brand? Is the competition scared of them in any way?
