Professional, but also genuinely approachable, AND HILARIOUS.

Ann is absolutely delightful -- easy to communicate with, walked us through her talking points, and adjusted them to fit the needs of our audience. She is a professional, but also genuinely approachable, AND HILARIOUS. She stuck around after the event and mingled with our attendees – that extra touch is something you can’t get from everyone. We look forward to continuing our relationship.

Exceeded all expectations of what a keynote address could be.

Ann overwhelmingly exceeded all expectations of what a keynote address on the principles, purpose and power of Content Marketing (aka marketing) could be. The resonance, value and impact delivered to our community was palpable. Her message is spot on, delivered with humor and direct attention to our products and industry. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice and if you haven't heard her speak we recommend you do so.

Derrick Peoples

The audience was laughing and engaged every minute.

Spot-on. The audience was laughing and engaged every minute and walked away with actionable steps.

Working with Ann was excellent from the beginning.

We collaborated on a date and Ann wrote an amazing title and abstract for our event. Ann and her team are responsive, pleasant to work with and are just generally everything you’d want in an event partner. Ann promoted our event through her channels and we got a big influx of new people that we didn’t have in our database. Ann’s presentation was a huge hit with our audience and I have personally never seen engagement from an audience on a virtual event like that. If you’re thinking of working with Ann (unless you’re one of our competitors) just do it - you won’t regret it! We can’t wait to work with her again!

Challenged us to think bigger, braver, and bolder. She is truly spectacular!

"Ann invested the time to learn about our business and delivered a high-energy presentation that inspired our strategic marketing organization and challenged us to think bigger, braver, and bolder. She is truly spectacular!"

Eric Garulay

Head of Global Content Strategy, Natixis Investment

She gets an A++ in my book.

BEWARE!!! Just a few minutes with Ann Handley and you’ll be infected with her Big, Bold, Brave mantra….and so will your team! Ann practices what she preaches and she will energize you and your team in a way that will have your head spinning, but in a good way. We are becoming a bigger, better, braver marketing communications team because of Ann. That benefits us, our organization, and all those we serve. If you want to be BRAVE…talk with Ann, read her stuff, have her speak to your team. She may be all about the letter “B” but she gets an A++ in my book.

Awesome session.

Thank you for delivering as promised, and then some. You helped raise the bar in our business — no small thing. (Oh yeah, and thank you for breaking attendance records and making us look good.) : )

Ann's content truly struck a chord with all of us.
