Don’t take our word for it, read what these internet marketing industry gurus have to say about the Social Media Smarts workshop presenter, Lee Odden:
“Are you kidding? Lee Odden knows more about online tools and strategies than most ever will. But, he also has a great knack for sharing, demystifying, and teaching these seemingly technical topics in ways that allow anyone to make practical use of them.”
John Jantsch, Owner, Duct Tape MarketingI’ve collaborated with Lee Odden numerous times on conference panels, podcasts, blogs, and industry committees. I’d recommend Lee as a consultant, a speaker, a blogger, and probably five other things I am not thinking of. But I also recommend him as a person, because he won’t let you down. You can count on him to know the right thing, yes, but also to do the right thing and do it the right way–and in the way that is right for you.”
Mike Moran, Distinguished Engineer for OmniFind Search and Text Analytics Product, IBM“Lee consistently provides tangible insight that is relevant, timely, and actionable. When a collegue asked me to recommend a SEO expert Lee was the on the top of my list. I refer my staff and peers to his blog and to the PRSA professional development sessions that he presents and they always return energized, excited and ready to take on new ways to improve our communications and social media outreach.”
Barb McDonald, Vice President, Marketing, Public Relations Society of America“I’ve lost track of Lee’s many talents. He doesn’t need to “think outside of the box,” because he refuses to even acknowledge its existence. Hire him as a consultant or speaker, and you won’t be disappointed.”
