Presentation Testimonials
Jay Baer (President, Convince & Convert)
I have had the opportunity to see Arnie’s presentations from different viewpoints; as an audience member, a panelist and as a fellow speaker at conferences. Arnie has a great sense of humor, keeping things light and fun for the audience. He speaks on advanced concepts, but in a way that is easy to digest for people of all skill levels and understanding. Bottom line, if you attend a session with Arnie, you’re going to leave smarter than you were before.
Aaron Kahlow (Founder, Online Marketing Summit)
As the founder of the Online Marketing Summit, I have worked with Arnie on many occasions. He has presented at a number of OMS events and we are always excited to have him. His expertise in online marketing spans from link building to social media to content marketing making it easy for us to fit him into our programming. We’ll continue to work with Arnie as long as he’s willing to work with us!
Paul Zagnoni (Managing Partner GEC, LLC)
Arnie Kuenn is one of the most well respected Internet marketing experts out there. From a business standpoint, I recommend that my team attend his webinars, workshops and speaking appearances when appropriate. Between his extensive knowledge and approachable demeanor, he is our go-to guy for all of our online marketing education. While I’ve seen him present many times, he keeps things fresh.
Bill Flitter (Founder/CEO, Pheedo, Inc.)
Arnie gave a great presentation at the Content Marketing Strategies Conference in Berkeley covering how content, search and social media marketing can be used together to increase business. His presentation was by far one of the most educational. He is very good at ensuring the audience learns how to apply the concepts for their own business versus just telling them that they should. I am looking forward to collaborating with Arnie on some other projects in the near future and would highly recommend him as both a speaker and an educator on the subject of Internet marketing.
Fionn Downhill (CEO, Elixir Interactive)
Arnie Kuenn, is one of the most engaging and knowledgeable speakers I have heard on the subject of content marketing. He has a unique speaking style, which focuses heavily on education and ensuring that his audience leaves with more knowledge than they came with. I would recommend Arnie as a speaker or presenter he is truly a subject matter expert and present with grace and humor.
Aaron Weiche (Vice President, Spyder Trap)
Arnie’s presentation to the Minnesota Search Engine Marketing Association was the perfect blend of strategic ideas and tactical detail our advanced audience requires. Arnie covered New Link Building Strategies in great depth and answered numerous questions and furthered audience ideas. It also stood out to me that Arnie was at our event an hour early to talk with attendees one on one and also stayed after to do the same. Needless to say our post event survey to our members raved about Arnie and his contribution across the board.
Brett Tabke (Founder and CEO of Pubcon)
Arnie is a great speaker who possess the rare combination of authentic insight into social media and search along with excellent delivery skills. Our attendee surveys consistently feature Arnie among the top echelon of Pubcon speakers.
Lyn Humphreys (Senior Vice President of Australian Hotels Association)
At the AHA(NSW) 2012 study tour business session in Chicago we were fortunate to have Arnie Kuenn as the key note speaker. Arnie was both interesting and informative, providing an insight into the an area that this audience was anxious to delve into but didn’t know where to start. Arnie opened our eyes to the possibilities for our businesses and to the ease with which it could be achieved. We came away wanting to learn more and from the seeds Arnie planted and the positive feedback from attendees.
