The Challenge of Change
“There is no future in the past…every business must con nually evolve”
How to address the need to change across every aspect of business - leadership; management style; employee
requirements and mo va on; product/service/ exibility; society changes and demands; technology;
tradi onal adver sing and communica on versus on-line, new media and so on. Interac ve, challenging,
educa onal, mo va ng.
When, Why and How to Use “New Media…the elephant in the room!
“Twi er, Linkedin, Facebook, Google+, Tagged, Ning, You Tube” The secrets revealed”
Dozens of social media sites have dialog with hundreds of millions of targeted users every week. When do we
use new media and not tradi onal TV, radio and print? How do we use it? Which one do we use for what
purpose? Did you know that Tuesday between 10 pm and 2 am is by far the best me to tweet? What else
don’t you know. This presenta on cuts through the mystery in plain, simple English.
Turn Green into GOLD!
"Use the Green revolu on to sustain, grow and increase pro tability in your business…e ortlessly and
prac cally"
Green is a nancial, investment and marke ng issue, it is not a tree hugging issue. Going green improves
corporate image, increases produc vity, provides compe ve advantages, reduces costs, creates e ciencies,
saves energy, waste is recycled and reduced, more income is generated and the company becomes more
sustainable. Pro ts can increase 10% plus year on year!
It’s Not the Size of the Budget, It’s the Size of the Idea
“Innova on, crea vity and di eren a on separates success from failure”
Anyone can spend money. No-one succeeded by being a me-too. Zig when your compe tors zag; stand out;
drama cally increase ROI with big ideas, increase e ec veness and market penetra on by out-thinking your
compe tors, not out-spending them. Crea ve use of new media to speak directly to highly targeted
companies. Great examples, success stories, commercial achievements.

TESTIMONIALS
Di eren ate … and Win!
“Without a strong di eren al…you are just another donkey in the paddock”
Harvard research shows 92% of people see like companies and products as interchangeable. This leads to
commodi za on, price based compe on, decreased ROI and eventually disaster. How you di eren ate from
compe tors even if your product is iden cal, gain Brand Equity, stand out from the crowd, increase market
penetra on, customer loyalty and ROI. How you can use social media to stand out. Challenging, interac ve,
educa onal, entertaining, mo va onal.
How to Blow Away Your Compe on…it’s Easy!
“Simple secrets to leaving your compe on in your wake…guaranteed”
The key to blowing away your compe on is building a strong di eren a on from your compe tors, u lize
new, e ec ve one-on-one media, build Brand Equity and customer loyalty, u lize Customer Purchasing
Bene t, new and tradi onal media, Risk Reversal and Added Value strategies, increase ROI and decrease the
importance of price. Interac ve, challenging, entertaining and mo va onal.
Branding is Dead… Brand Equity is Cri cal to Success
“Brand Awareness is of no value… it is your equity that drives sales and ROI”
Today, with more clu er, increased compe on and more discerning customers, having a Brand does not
translate to success or increased ROI. In fact it means nothing. Today you must build Brand Equity that speaks
emo onally to the customer, iden es you with them and clearly di eren ates you from the compe on. Bob
will show you how to build a dynamic Brand, beginning with leadership and corporate culture, through your
marke ng, social media, adver sing, PR. Fun, educa onal, interac ve, entertaining, challenging, mo va ng
How to Supercharge Your Marke ng
“The simple keys to obtaining results you never thought possible”
To kick your marke ng into another realm, you need to confront the myths of marke ng. Your brand, products,
sa s ed customers and compe ve prices will not build your business. Marke ng built on any or all of these
four “pillars” will fail in today’s marketplace. Learn what works in this highly compe ve and fragmented
market and what doesn’t. Learn when, why and how to use social media. This is a challenging, engaging,
interac ve, mo va onal, entertaining and highly educa onal presenta on.
Teams Win…Individuals Can Cause Everyone to Lose
“Whether internally or externally, business or sports, teamwork drives results”
We are all familiar with the expression that a champion team will beat a team of champions. Bob has had great
experience with the e ec veness of great teamwork with not only his corporate clients, but also his sport
clients which include Formula One, Oakland Raiders, America’s Cup, World Series Cricket and many more. Bob
provides a very pointed but highly entertaining look at the similarity between teamwork in sport and business.
