The Not-So-Brief Version
Ken has been fascinated by the world of advertising since he was a child (before social media was even a part of advertising) and has remained one of the biggest powerhouses in attention-grabbing marketing for decades. His voracious brilliance and insight into how pieces of content could move and change how people feel caused his superiors in his early career to quickly promote him until he was part of a big-time radio station in New York City and quickly moved into a production director role. His experience since then has range from ESPN to freelancing and everything in between. The last few years have seen him invested in with over $100k for his podcast, speaking at Social Media Marketing World (and other events like it), and spearheading Ad Zombies which brings big-level marketing resources to small-budget businesses.
As an entrepreneur himself, he understands the exact combination of shocking and playful that a small business marketing budget needs to be successful, and brings the brilliance of his Super Bowl Ads to every stage he visits (His session at the Grow Retreat? How To Make A Super Bowl Ad For Any Business). He is unafraid to make the startling statement that spark change, and abides by the principle that a free mind is where brilliance comes from: after all, "there's a reason great creative ideas come to you in the shower."
The most important key to marketing is one word that starts with C: no, it's not consistency!
Creativity is your greatest asset in marketing, and no one knows this better than Ken. He also understand the framework in which creativity thrives, and how to create creativity inside of any kind of mind. The freedom to be creative starts with playfulness, and Ken's keynote and workshop will take you through the process that gets you more playful with your marketing.
Starting with how to free up the mind in order to enter a playful and creative space (and how to START that process for yourself), he'll walk you through the process for elevating and leveling up that creative flow to create incredibly clever and fantastic headlines and marketing projects that not only capture attention but do it playfully and in an emotionally evocative way.
Discover how you can be the kind of creative individual you see others being, and bring this asset into your own business with the power of playful marketing through Ken's work at the Grow Retreat.
