Have you ever gone to a conference and heard a presenter that was very compelling? Had a solid message? And frankly had some really nice takeaways?
Well a few weeks ago that exact thing happened to me. I was at a WOMMA conference and had the privilege of hearing Jeffrey Hayzlett, CMO Eastman Kodak present. During his very engaging presentation he mentioned a few things that I wanted to share.
He said we have created some really good best practices at Kodak around Social Media and Mobile Marketing. And he said all you need to do is contact a guy named Tom and he would send them to you. Well as I was sitting there I emailed Tom and before 10 minutes went by Tom responded with the reports.
WOW talk about great follow up skills! Especially when someone else promises that you will be doing something.
I have reviewed the reports and really believe there are lots of great takeaways.
I would be happy to share them with you. The reports are entitled:
- Social Media Tips
- Mobile Marketing Tips
All you need to do is post a comment and let me know if you want one or both of the reports.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Colleen Mezler says:
Hi Merrill,
Quite honestly, I think you are a great presenter. I think you should list your personal tips too.
Can you share the Tom’s tips with me?
Merrill Dubrow says:
Colleen,
Really appreciate the nice comments. The reports have been sent.

Aaron Walton says:
Hey Merrill ~ I am interested in getting the reports when available. Always looking for ways to harness the power of social media!
J.R. Venza says:
Merrill,
What I have loved the most about being a part of this industry is not only the vast number of great minds, but the willingness to share that knowledge among anyone who simply takes the time to ask.
It is now to the point that I am no longer surprised when I walk away from a conference session with new insights, but rather disappointed when I don’t.
The bar is set high, and let’s all remember rule #1 – Never Follow Merrill Dubrow when speaking to a crowd !
I’d love to see the tips. Thanks.
Merrill Dubrow says:
J.R.
That is a great point. I am really happy that you feel that way. Clearly that says alot about the program committee for all of the conferences. Also I really appreciate the kind words about my presentations.
Speak to you soon.
Merrill

Steve Gentile says:
Merrill (and all) – Hayzlett’s book THE MIRROR TEST is an extraordinaryly great book. I have never heard/seen him in person, only recorded or webcast — dynamite.
I’d love a copy of each report please. Thanks Merrill – greetings from NYC
Steve Gentile says:
extraordinaryly is often correctly spelled extraordinarily ! regardless of my oversight, the book’s well worth the read (dare I say that “e” word again?)
Enjoy the day all – give it all you’ve got.

Joan Dempsey says:
I believe that is the future in Marketing Research. I attended the MRA conference in Boston 3 weeks ago and found a similar compelling presentation on the same subject. I would share take-aways if they were offered. Sadly they were not. I would be grateful the receive your offer. Merill you are so generous.
Merrill Dubrow says:
Thanks Joan!
Marc Dresner says:
It’s really a shame no one seems to be taking you up on this, Merrill.
Seriously, though, here is yet another example of how you always give so generously to this industry. We’re so fortunate to have someone like you. You set not only an example; you set the bar!
Two please. Thank you!
Merrill Dubrow says:
Marc,

Speak to you soon.
Merrill

Karyn says:
Hi Merrill,
As you know, I have admired your generosity and character from day one. I checked Mr. Hayzlett’s website and unfortunately he is not speaking anytime soon in the NW- if you have such positive comments about his presentation then I take that as a golden recommendation!
Please send a copy of both reports since they will help in new endeavors.
Thanks

Doug Lammer says:
To echo the comments… You are one of the most compelling presenters I have been around and frankly I have stolen many of your tricks. I was always impressed with your ability to weave a compelling story into the driest of subjects.
Check out this web site, this tool is very interesting and a neat way to display data and tell a story.
This is a cool video.

Merrill Dubrow says:
Doug,
Thanks so much for the email and NICE comments. They mean a great deal to me. As a presenter you always want to have the attendees take away a few tidbits and things that you can implement right away. It sounds like I was able to do that which makes me really excited to hear.
Merrill
Jeff Adler says:
