Each training duration is different, ranging from two hours to three days of eight-hours of instruction. The focus is on equipping marketers with in-demand expertise and practical, actionable frameworks needed to enhance their strategy, execution, and maximize the results they’re able to achieve on behalf of your organization. 

While every training is tailored to your organization, Brian’s skills trainings cover topics related to marketing strategy, executive communications, social media, leveraging AI as a marketer, content marketing, and career advancement.

"Brian recently conducted a compelling two-day workshop for the Inter-American Defense College. The workshop focused on how government leaders can effectively utilize social media. It included two days of in-person instruction and one online session tailored to enhance the social media proficiency of senior security and defense leaders from various countries. The curriculum was strategically designed to engage students, faculty, and staff, emphasizing social media's crucial role in their personal and professional lives. Throughout the workshop, Brian adeptly addressed questions and incorporated feedback from participants. He demonstrated flexibility by adjusting real-time sessions to meet the group's evolving needs. This adaptability was particularly impressive given the complexity of live translation into four different languages. The training emphasized social media's significant impact and importance for these high-ranking officials, both as individuals and in their roles as national leaders. Participants gained valuable insights into leveraging these platforms to communicate effectively, shape public opinion, and stay connected with constituents in an increasingly digital world. Overall, the workshop provided an invaluable learning experience for all attendees. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian to lead your next training, especially for senior leaders seeking to maximize their social media impact in today's interconnected global landscape."

"We hired Brian to support our digital communications team at UNDP's regional office in Istanbul. His assignment involved delivering a marketing training in person and supporting us remotely for the next 6 months. I can say that Brian’s contribution to our team far exceeded our expectations. Not only was his marketing knowledge around social media and content writing top notch, but his presentations were always very thoroughly researched and well prepared, based on actual examples relevant to our sector. To supplement his presentations, he also delivered assignments, which gave us a safe space to practice what we were learning. As a result of Brian’s assignment, our total shares went up 302% and SEO links earned to our website went up by 11%. I would recommend Brian to any team seeking to increase their understanding of digital communications."
