“Ernie’s seminar, Branding with Intention, was one of the most highly rated and highly attended seminars at our customer conference. The room was packed for both sessions. Attendees were engaged through the whole presentation and walked away with tangible and practical ideas (they could actually implement) to help focus and improve their brands. Leading up to our conference, he took the time to learn about our company, our goals, our brands, and the audience he would be presenting to. He was able to weave these relevant themes into a custom presentation for our event.
Ernie was easy to correspond with, well prepared, and an overall pleasure to work with. His energy is contagious and your event attendees will thank you for the opportunity to hear him speak. You won’t regret booking Ernie for your event!”
