If there’s one thing that Jon Burkhart has said and has stayed with us, it’s his -now famous- quote: “Don’t be spammy. Dont’ be irrelevant. Be human. Be natural. Have a fun chat. Make me laugh. It’s what social was meant for.” And that’s exactly what he’ll show us on April 14th, at #BeatTheBuzz!
Jon is the co-author of Newsjacking: The Urgent Genius of Real-time Advertising and founder of content marketing consultancy TBC London, where he leads content strategy, copywriting, social media marketing and content creation workshops for brands and agencies.
In 2010, he co-founded the world’s first blog dedicated to real-time and reactive creativity UrgentGenius.com. A seasoned keynote speaker, Jon speaks at marketing conferences in Europe and the US.
He is one of very few people to speak six years in a row at the world’s largest tech/marketing conference South By Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) where he now serves on the programming committee. Previously, Jon was head of copy/social content director at Iris Worldwide.
