Speaking

Deborah Smith: Experienced Public Speaker & Social Media Motivator

There’s no denying that the marketing landscape has seen some twists and turns in recent years, with more and more tactics shifting online.  And now more than ever, information is power.   Enhance your online marketing event with an engaging, in-depth speaker on social media.

“Deborah is an excellent speaker and a social media genius! My organization hired her to present 3 in depth social media presentations this year, and so far she’s done a great job for us. Her presentation content is user friendly, time relevant, and she can easily break down the somewhat complicated world of social media into an everyday person’s language so it’s better understood. It’s also really great that during her presentations, she encourages questions and comments from the audience and engages them on a personal, laid back level all throughout the presentation – rather than only taking questions at the end. This approach makes her presentations enjoyable and really lets her audience get involved. Deborah is highly recommended!” July 6, 2010

“Deborah Smith is an enthusiastic and energetic presenter. Her knowledge of the subject matter is evident in the way she addresses her audience – as well as how she answers questions put before her. The training she provided to me and a varied group of others was detailed without being confusing. If you are looking for someone to step up to the plate at one of your events, you will hit a home run with Deborah!” February 24, 2010

Results-driven online marketing starts with knowledge, and I have spoken to groups large and small throughout the tri-state area about the intricacies of social media today. From sessions for starters that leave participants with a social media “tool kit” to advanced tactics that empower those already in the know, my workshops can be tailored to any knowledge level.

I also work with businesses and organizations throughout the region to help them develop or fine-tune their own social media strategy through special workshops or one-on-one consulting.

With experience speaking publicly on topics ranging from Twitter and Facebook to blogging for businesses, my social media presentations are designed to bring online marketing to life. Custom-tailored to the expertise and industry of your audience, they can cover anything from basics for newbies to advanced strategies that kick social media marketing up a notch.

An avid social media marketer and blogger for my own businesses (JerseyBites.com and my online services for nannies and families), I bring passion and experience to each session and encourage open dialogue with participants (a lesson gleaned from the tenets of social media!) Available options include:

On-site training sessions

All-day workshops and seminars

Panel discussions on social media and online content generation

Listen in:  On-air interview with Marcy Turkington of Achieve Business Solutions

In addition to providing fee-based workshops and education sessions, I also provide complimentary social media basics to business organizations throughout the tri-state area. Bring your members up to speed on blogging and social media and help them breath life into their marketing efforts.

“Deborah’s presentation on implementing and utilizing social media in a business marketing and public relations strategy is concise and understandable, even by a “lay person” such as me! Her use of local, recognized clientel and case studies in her presentation brings what could be a “way over your head” topic down to earth.

Ben Waldron, Executive Director Monmouth-Ocean Development Council”  November 23, 2009

“Deborah is a vivacious and articulate speaker, who communicates the dynamics of social media in a clear and concise fashion, without making the audience feel inadequate or incapable of learning the same process. She has the ability to see business opportunities for others, that they may not see themselves.” Anne Galya , Director , Avanti Day Resort
