SPEAKER & INFLUENCE

Put a real
communicator on
your stage

I have spent thirty years getting messages to land, on the radio, in the council

chamber, in front of a room, and in the feed. I speak on the two things I know

cold: how small businesses win customers, and how candidates win

elections.

TALKS

Signature topics

01

The $30-a-day marketing plan for local small business

How an owner with a tiny budget can build a predictable flow of customers, without an agency, a big team, or guesswork.

02

How to win your local election in five steps

What two terms in office and years inside campaigns taught me about message, money, and the moves that actually swing a race.

03

Why you should market in a down economy

The counterintuitive case for spending when your competitors go quiet, and how to do it without wasting a dollar.
