Give me 60 minutes, and I will inspire, inform, and entertain your audience while motivating each person to reshape their business and marketing, and reinvent their customers' experience. As a world-class speaker who commands the stage while engaging each and every attendee, I offer an innovative perspective on a business world forever changed by Web 2.0. I help companies strategically embrace social networking, user-generated content, blogs, wikis, podcasts, and widgets with the goal to enhance customer experience, corporate influence, brand awareness, image management, and product value.

As the award-winning author of The Age of Engage (www.AgeofEngage.com) and a twenty-year marketing veteran, I employ anecdotes, humor, real-world business examples, and research to customize presentations, seminars and workshops aimed at helping companies understand the changing marketing landscape as well as successfully incorporate new media into their business.

“Denise was a joy to work with, and exactly the touch we needed at our annual user conference – the single most important event we host every year.  Denise is a very articulate spokesperson for the changes we are all experiencing as marketers in a social world, and deftly balanced an urgent call to action with a sense of calm and empowerment.  Able to tie big ideas to solid, practical examples, she has a great style and truly outstanding content.  She was a highlight of our conference, and I’d be delighted to work with her again.”
      -- John Girard, CEO, Clickability

"We were really pleased with Denise's presentation to the NVIDIA Women-in-Technology group. She is a dynamic, polished speaker, and provided a clear set of relevant messages that resonated with the audience. We found her to be articulate, humorous, easy to work with, and very professional."
      -- Calisa Cole, Director of Corporate PR and Communications, NVIDIA


"My CEO group found Denise's workshop to be informative, entertaining, and extremely thought-provoking. As we all look to engage more effectively with our customers and prospects, the high-value information she shared with us struck exactly the right chord; it was both forward-thinking and immediately useful."
      -- Marianne O'Connor, President, Sterling Communications


"Denise's presentation was outstanding with lots of examples, new ideas, and keen insight into the ways that marketing is changing (and changing fast!) in this Web 2.0 world. She is a highly knowledgeable and engaging speaker."
      -- Adrienne Hedger, Senior Delegate, IABC
