Could you have discovered the best business speaker in Colorado?
Mark Hughes might take your meeting to a new Rocky Mountain High. Read on…
Several call him the $300 million dollar man. Time magazine calls him the guru behind “one of the greatest publicity coups in history.”
Mark Hughes put Half.com on the map, literally, by convincing the tiny town of Halfway, Oregon to rename itself to Half.com, Oregon. That one idea, as crazy as it may seem, had a method to its madness.
The payoff? eBay bought the company for a mountainous $300 million just six months later.
His book, ("Buzzmarketing" from publisher Penguin/Portfolio) has been heralded by blue-chip business moguls like Steve Forbes, the former CEO of Dow Jones, the former editor of The Wall Street Journal, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Pepsi-Cola. Amazing praise for a top business speaker in Colorado meetings.
The Financial Times of London proclaimed his book one of the Best Business Books of the Year next to Freakonomics. Fast Company named Hughes’ book one of "The Ten Best Business Reads of the year" in its first printing. You’ll find it published in Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, English, and Hebrew, and sold all over the world.
Hughes entertains, he moves, he informs, he delivers. He has one of the most informative and energetic speeches that people can use when they get back to their office Monday morning. His speaking agent is the former agent for Malcolm Gladwell.
Hughes’ career spans from PepsiCo's Pizza Hut Division (NYSE: YUM), to Pep Boys (NYSE: PBY), to American Mobile Satellite (transformed to XM Satellite Radio – NASDAQ: XMSR), and eBay’s Half.com (NASDAQ: EBAY). He holds his MBA in from Columbia Business School.
Creating buzz, creating word-of-mouth, and leveraging that with the power of the Internet is the currency of today’s economy. Perhaps $300 million dollars worth of currency. Are you ready for this business speaker in Colorado to take you to new heights?
