Book Ian to Speak

❝Ian is a pro. Not only in his subject knowledge but his presence on stage as a speaker is guaranteed to wake up the crowd - failing that - he'll just get them singing! When we were planning our conference, we knew we had to book him, and he did not disappoint.❞

Andrew & Pete

Founders of Atomic & Atomicon

I’ve delivered many different types of presentations all around the world at conferences such as Social Media Marketing World (San Diego) and New Media Europe (London).

Examples include live video confidence, how to not look like an idiot on video and social media tools.

I trained as a professional singer back in the day. I studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in the UK. My mother was an opera singer and a teacher, and I’ve inherited her passion for being on stage as well as teaching!

I always aim to give lots of actionable tips in my presentations, and I can’t help but add a little bit of British humour to the mix (I am British after all!). I do get a thrill at seeing people learn as well as exploding people’s brains (in a friendly way of course).

❝Ian was spot on! He nailed his content and had a great presence on stage. Very engaging towards the audience, too. He and Amy Porterfield were by far the best speakers, content-wise and stage presence-wise.❞

Attendee

Social Media Marketing World

❝Ian spoke at our inaugural Big Social Media Conference. Not only did he deliver an insightful and engaging talk on social media tools (with some great takeaways for the audience) he was also an exceptional advocate in the run-up to the conference, supporting all marketing communications and assisting in promotion.

He is certainly an expert in his field, but down to earth and refreshingly humble with it. Our audience was delighted with the information shared and we would certainly have Ian on our wish list for future conferences.❞

Alexandra Kington

Head of Marketing SME Club and pro-newsroom

❝His talk was interactive and fun and he delivered tons of value, keeping the audience engaged throughout. Ian was also happy to chat to delegates before and after his talk - adding value at every stage (including sharing content across his social media accounts during the event). Around 55% of the tickets for my next live event were sold at or shortly after the event (including repeat bookings from around a third of delegates). I know that Ian’s talk definitely played a part in that success story. I’d have no hesitation in booking Ian to speak at a future event.❞

What People Are Saying

Genuinely loved @iagdotme
I am feeling (almost) confident to start life videos and I see how beneficial it would be to #spreadthefword so look out for some cringe (at the beginning, but I will get better!) But authentic material.#smbbelfast

Its the afternoon sessions at #ATOMICON19 and its time for @iagdotme.

I love his portraits and always think he's so animated!

His talk is about leveling up your business using live video.

The audience at #ATOMICON19 enjoying learning from @iagdotme how to warm up before doing live video. Talk about a practical presentation - that certainly was! ? Thanks Ian. pic.twitter.com/aiH0mzm5FE— David Withington (@Thabacus) March 8, 2019

I found my PowerPoint soul mate in @iagdotme. Full screen photos, solid backgrounds, one line of text per slide. #SMMW17 — Michelle L. LeBlanc (@PeevedMichelle) March 24, 2017

How about we warm up in a song form? Only with @iagdotme during #SMMW19 ?? pic.twitter.com/6xNcbnlSrs— Izabela Russell (@izabelarussell) March 21, 2019

I was fortunate to snag Ian for my Visual Social Media conference AND my podcast. Ian is relatable, funny, and incredibly helpful in all his presentations. His goal is to help and inform, but he does this in the most effortlessly engaging way - he's quite irresistible.
