"...this investment added SIGNIFICANTLY to my brand..."
“I wanted to add to my assortment of photos in my library that shows pictures of me
on stage to build credibility as a keynoter.
I also wanted more of an assortment of photos from a social media standpoint. In addition, I have a speaker kit and needed more images for that. So, I hired John to take care of that for me.
In terms of preparation, John and I had multiple conversations about my image goals, the venue itself, and the various elements involved that he needed to capture.
I also had a video crew there, and based on John’s production experience and his knowledge of what speakers need, video-wise, he took charge and gave the video team direction to make sure I was getting the most value from their effort.
Based on the quality and variety of the photos he created, this investment added SIGNIFICANTLY to my brand as a credible keynote speaker. That added credibility will make it easier for me to book more keynotes and charge what I’m worth.
I've hired the wrong people before, and wasted a lot of money and time on pics that don't achieve my goals. With John, not only do I know that I'm going to get what I need, I'm going to be taken care of the whole way, because John knows what I need even if I don't.
You want to work with people you like, and we’ve worked together on many shoots together and we’ve built a relationship, and I know what to expect from him every single time.
I’m thrilled with what we created together. Thanks, John.”
It’s always a pleasure to create magic with you, Mike Goldman. Not only do I value the chance to have you in front of the camera, but I deeply value your friendship - we had some great conversations in the car heading to and from the venue.
I look forward very much to our next roadtrip, which, hopefully, is sooner rather than later :)
