1️⃣PHASE ONE - KEYNOTE CONSIDERATION

🧠AUDIENCE EMOTION PICKER

Opening an event, closing, an event, maybe after lunch, before a break, keynote performance scheduling is critical to making sure audiences feel plugged into your theme. 

For events, Chris asks organizers to think FIRST about what they want their audience to FEEL after he leaves the stage. Keynote subject matter can be conveyed in many different ways. First, think of a primary and then a secondary feeling from the chart to the right. These “feelings” help Chris create the audience reaction

👀TOPIC CONSIDERATION

Chris’s most popular talk is “Don’t Unplug” organizers like the positive message of the presentation. Yet many organizations want something different, something on the way outside part of the box. 

That’s where Chris’s catalog of talks comes in handy. Maybe you want to talk about “Love and Technology,” or “Mindfulness and Devices,” or dive into the deep end of the content pool and explore “Technology and the Occult.” Chris has a range of topics to pick from depending on the themes or audience!

All topics have been filmed, and examples of the slides are included in each! Don’t be afraid to mix it up!

📺PRESS AND MEDIA

Marketing your event is hard with the wrong keynote partner! Selling tickets, getting people to come and fill seats takes passion. The organizer is responsible for not only the content but the attention! How does working with Chris change this for you? Simple marketing resources, custom content, and PR!  Chris works with organizations to build their event promotion in one of three different ways!

🔥STAGE ONE (Marketing Resources):

SIMPLE KIT: Just a download zip file with a standard photo and bio.

PRESSKIT: Link to multiple photo styles and bio styles.

MEDIAKIT: Link to media assets for creating marketing artifacts to promote event. audio recordings, video recordings, b-roll, and even looping GIFS!

💣STAGE TWO (Custom Content):

Maybe you want something more tailored to your event. Chris partners with organizations to create custom welcome messages as well as interviews about his work with the event. These videos are fun, engagement, and help the audience feel interested in attending the event and learning more!

☄️STAGE THREE (PR & Media)

Sometimes you need that little extra “kick” to get your event in high gear. Having the “Most Connected Person” in the world at your event is the fastest way to get media attention at your venue! Chris works with your PR team or his media team to make sure that time for interviews, photos, and stories gets produced while at your event. It’s not enough to have an event; today, you have to demand attention from the media. Chris works to create custom metrics based on media impressions as well as cost per audience member for media exposure!
