Is this the speaker to seal your search for Professional Speakers?
It might be.
Does a $300 million dollar track record stand out from other Professional Speakers?
Hughes literally put Half.com on the map by convincing Halfway, Oregon to rename itself to Half.com, Oregon…and it’s payoff? eBay bought the company for $300 million just six months later.
Time magazine calls Hughes the guru behind “one of the greatest publicity coups in history.”
His book, published in Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, English, and Hebrew ("Buzzmarketing" from publisher Penguin/Portfolio) has received accolades from the former editor of The Wall Street Journal, Steve Forbes of Forbes Magazine, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Pepsi-Cola, and ice cream king Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. A veritable who’s who of acclaim amongst professional speakers.
Fast Company named Hughes’ book one of "The Ten Best Business Reads of the year" in year one of publication, and The Financial Times of London proclaimed it one of the Best Business Books of the Year next to Freakonomics.
Hughes isn’t just one of many professional speakers, he’s got an amazing book, amazing expertise, an amazing $300 million dollar track record, and most importantly one of the most informative and entertaining speeches with the testimonials and scores to prove it. His speaking agent is the former agent for Malcolm Gladwell.
Before eBay's Half.com, Hughes spent his career working for PepsiCo's Pizza Hut Division (NYSE: YUM), Pep Boys (NYSE: PBY), and American Mobile Satellite (transformed to XM Satellite Radio – NASDAQ: XMSR). Hughes holds his MBA from Columbia Business School.
Creating buzz, word-of-mouth and leveraging that on the Internet, is the currency of today’s marketing economy. Perhaps $300 million dollars worth of currency.
