Dear meeting planners, convention planners and social marketers:

Wow!  That was my reaction after seeing Peter Shankman headline an American Marketing Meeting.  If you want what I consider one of the top social media experts in the United States who can also convey his knowledge in a way that captivates the audience from beginning to end, Peter is that guy without question.

I thought I was ADD in a big way and over the years I have learned how to use it in positive way.   Peter, however, makes my ADD look mild; he leverages it in even a larger way which is evident in his real world, in your face, dead on, practical use of social media presentation.  In Peter's very unique style, he smacks the audience in the face with his knowledge and experience and the audience smiles.  Do I really need to say any more?  

If your group needs to know a lot about social media (and they do, I thought I was doing it right till I saw someone who was and is doing it right), Peter will deliver. Best with your event!  Ewell
