Part of his draw is his out-of-the-box thinking, which is relevant and challenging. He has a great way of connecting with the audience and engaging them in the topic at hand. Justin makes a subject relevant and easily understood…even one as complicated as new media and brand management. The first time I heard Justin speak, my views on “marketing” were permanently altered.” Kris Thompson – George Fox University Boise, Idaho Campus “Justin Foster, an expert in conversational media, is known for his vibrant delivery of advanced marketing concepts. His enthusiasm for conversational media extends far beyond those attending his lectures empowering marketers and business professionals to maximize their marketing effectiveness through grassroots tactics to create word-of-mouth buzz and his revolutionary 1000year brand.” George Seybold – Seybold Scientific “Justin Foster spoke to our Rotary Club and I found his presentation to be interesting, informative, and entertaining. Justin made an excellent presentation that provided valuable and useable information that held the attention of all those in attendance. His expertise on the topics presented was very apparent. In addition, his subject matter is relative new and something all businesses and executives need to be aware of. I look forward to the opportunity to hear Justin speak again in the future.”
