With infectious charisma and an untraditional approach, Scott Stratten captivates audiences with unique insight and stories; Fortune 500 companies, including PepsiCo and Deloitte, seek his expertise on effectively connecting digital platforms with customer engagement to increase revenue, loyalty and reputation. Now we are very excited to announce Scott will be our special guest speaker and will captivate BCA at our September Hospitality Breakfast.
We’re in the age of disruption. Today’s business climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. Every week, it seems there is a new strategy, social media site or technology that is a “must use” or a “game changer”. What we lose in this endless quest for the next bright shiny business object is that at the core of business while everything has changed, nothing is different.
Trust, connection, consistency and service will always trump any new app to hit the market. Confronting the age of disruption, Scott discusses:
The Millennial Myth: The younger generation may create new challenges for business, but not in the way people are saying.
The Digital Decision: Your market today is forming buying decisions well before coming to you. Marketing today means getting in front of them when they’re making these important choices.
