Speaker Reel
Sample Speaking Topics:
5 Ps of Building and Managing a Disruptive Business
Based on Ekaterina’s bestselling book “Think Like Zuck,” this talk is packed with examples of Facebook’s success principles in action, as well as those of Zappos, TOMS, Threadless, Dyson, 3M and other companies. Whether you are a business owner or an intrapreneur within a brand, Ekaterina will give you the inspiration, knowledge, and insight to form an innovative business that makes a difference, build inspired teams and strong partnerships, and lead your organization to long-term profitability and growth.
One of the 5 Ps is passion. And that’s exactly what Ekaterina brought in her ‘5 P’s’ presentation. Her presentation was not only motivational but also valuable for any company’s quest to have better interactions with their customers or to promote that inclusive thinking leads to better innovation. Excellent!
~ Neil Lenane, Business Leader Talent Management,
Progressive Insurance
6 Myths of Innovation
Through the stories of successes and failures of the most revolutionary entrepreneurs of our times, Ekaterina brings to life the unconventional wisdom and profound truth – and misconceptions – about what it takes to build an innovative business.
Ekaterina is an exceptional speaker with a keen sense for what is real, relevant and resonant to a large conference audience. She does not disappoint.
~ Stewart Quealy, AllFacebook Expo
Make Your Marketing Memorable With
Visual Storytelling
Attention is the new commodity. Visual Storytelling is the new currency. Did you know that the human brain processes visuals 60,000X faster than text? Or that web posts with visuals drive up to 180% more engagement than those without? Or that viewers spend 100% more time on web pages with videos?
Based on Ekaterina’s book “The Power of Visual Storytelling,” this talk shows you how to use visuals and rich media to spark engagement, inspire brand advocacy, and spur word of mouth. You’ll discover practical tips and thought-provoking examples from a variety of companies and industries. The result: you’ll be empowered to grow your business and strengthen your brand by telling stories through leveraging photos, videos, infographics, cartoons, presentations and more.
Ekaterina Walter’s session on real-time marketing was notably my favorite of all [at both FutureM and INBOUND 2014 conferences]! Not just because she was an amazing presenter, but also because of the truth behind her message.
~ Kristen Vaughn, one of 10,000 attendees (mentioned here)
Fail Your Way to Amazing Things
Can you find the courage within you to dare to fail? True success comes from passion, purpose, a positive attitude, and the tenacity to keep going despite repeated failures. In this talk, Ekaterina challenges us to aggressively re-frame failure and to shed the doubt and fear that kills far more dreams than failure ever could.
Ekaterina, I was at the ad:tech conference today. I have seen a lot of keynote speakers in my time, but not many that make you still think about their content post-presentation. I am still thinking about all the things you had to say. Thank you!
~ Pam O’Connor, attendee
