Have a branding expert deliver a keynote address or workshop to enlighten and amaze your group.

Bob is a storyteller, and he knows branding and advertising. Because of these two areas of expertise, Bob is able to tie together complex concepts in a way that is both insightful and engaging. In our creative processes class, Bob was able to weave together research from evolutionary psychology, social psychology, and biochemistry to tell us the story of why some ads work while others fail. It helped me look at advertising creativity in a new light. From those just starting in the field to those seeking out a more advanced understanding, I would recommend Bob for any audience that appreciates learning about branding and advertising.

Bob Killian has a very special way of helping business people understand and deal with the issues of branding today; businesses operate very differently than just a few years ago when “traditional media” and broader segments/targets existed for products.

Speaking in front of my MBA class in Brand/Product Management, Killian’s audience included executives from The Kellogg Company, Ford Motor Company, Turtle Wax, Smurfit-Stone, Northern Trust and several more major firms. His explanations and ideas generated myriad conversations, questions and enhanced interest in the challenges faced today in building/maintaining equity for greater brand growth in these complex selling times.

I have already begun to use a number of the ideas from your seminar to improve my own branding services. I came to the seminar already believing in the value of branding. But your presentation reinvigorated my belief and gave me a number of new ideas as well.

Bob thoroughly understands branding from establishing a brand to leveraging the brand. Even more importantly he can relate to supporting a brand in today’s market. The ease and power of information on the Internet has changed marketing. Bob knows how to use the Internet to a brand’s advantage.

I usually consider a program a wise pick if I can leave the event with significantly better insight into the topic and maybe one good idea that will help my business. So, it is especially rare when I get to experience a program like the ‘Branding Boot Camp for Entrepreneurs’ where virtually the entire program was filled with gems of insight and inspiration.

Bob Killian understands branding with a depth and insight that could only come from so many years in the trenches. I had taken that much for granted because I knew his background and had seen some of his work. However, the real surprise came from how effective Bob was as an educator on this topic and how much of what he shared with us was directly and immediately applicable to my business. The Bootcamp presentation focused on practical, real-world application of branding fundamentals. Bob effectively distilled a complex subject down to a very digestible set of clear principles. And, he illustrated those concepts with entertaining stories and case histories. The result was instruction that proved both relevant and fun to experience (as well as very valuable).

My hat is off to Mr. Killian and I strongly recommend the program to my fellow entrepreneurs.

On behalf of the Young Executives Club, thank you for presenting your “Branding Boot Camp” to our membership. The lessons we took from your program gave us a clear picture of how essential branding is to any enterprise. Our young leaders will no doubt have an edge in assessing their firms’ branding strategies.

Your Multimedia presentation was especially helpful and we were able to absorb a lot of information in a shorter time block thanks to the slick set-up. We can also guess that the Killian office must be a fun place to work, given your wry sense of humor. Thanks for sharing the brand that is Bob Killian.

Kelly Ford, The Young Executives Club

Extremely lively. We are currently looking to create a new, strong brand and you inspired a long list of ideas.

Very engaging speaker – great information – easy to understand and implement.

Bob is a great storyteller. This has reinforced what I know and also created a positive direction to put into action. We need a lot of help — we are in a branding crisis (four name changes in the last ten years).

Peggy Sheehan, Bruce Offset

This is material we desperately need to implement and this gives me a place to start. Do another!

Benjamin Cohen, Chicago

Thanks for your presentation on Branding. Your treatment of the topic was definitely a very timely topic for all of us. In a world of “convergence, connectivity and globalization” your message came through like a laser beam. Whether our attendees represented global real estate brokerage corporations, or sole proprietorships, the message could be broadly applied.

I’m opening my company in the next thirty days. It was great to know where to focus next. It was awesome. Thank you Bob!
