Sperry Commercial Real Estate was launching their new affiliate program and wanted to use digital marketing to get the word out. Katie was hired by the Chief Operating Officer of Sperry Commercial Global Affiliates to train and mentor his team in social media strategy and best practices. Through a series of workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions, Katie helped the organization get started with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and social advertising. Now, they are able to use social tools to increase brand awareness and connect with potential affiliate partners.
The Orange County Association of Realtors wanted to educate their members on the best ways to use social media to connect with clients and grow their businesses. They staged a one-day ‘Real Social’ conference, and hired Katie as one of 3 keynote speakers. Katie’s educational talk centered around the capabilities of social media, effective strategies for Realtors, and general best practices. Conference feedback forms showed that she was the audience’s favorite speaker at the program!

Those who heard her presentation, still remember her and what she taught. Katie is an expert at what she does – both as a social media consultant and a presenter.”
“Katie Wagner is one of Digital Marketing’s best kept secrets which is why I want to let it out. Katie gave an amazing talk to our Coaches Alliance and left a lasting impression. Her ability to clearly speak with real life examples and applications allowed our group to utilize and put into action some of the core competencies associated with social media. Katie truly delivers on her talks and her service, I look forward to having Katie do more speaking to our group and highly recommend her as a keynote speaker for other organizations. Katie’s fresh perspective, expertise and engaging personality definitely sets the bar for her industry.”
“Katie Wagner is an absolute expert when it comes to social media marketing. I work for a network marketing company and our independent distributors are always requesting more information on how they can use social media to market their independent business. We recently hired Katie to speak to some of our top distributors as part of a two day training event and social media marketing workshop. Katie was the highlight of the event with many Distributors requesting to have her speak again at our annual Seminar. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, her presentation is also fun and informative. She was formerly a reporter/anchor and the way she relates traditional media to social media appeals to both social media novices and self-proclaimed social media experts. Highly recommended!”
“I just have to share how wonderful Wendi was at our Learning Lab. She is a fabulous speaker and her presentation was so informative and professional – just perfect! We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
“Thank you, Taylor, for your presentation at our Rotary meeting. As you could see, your presentation was very well received by our members that were present, – so much so that several were willing to hire you on the spot for their businesses. I felt like the presentation was very well suited for our club. You’ll be on our short list anytime we need someone to remind us of how to effectively use social media.”
“Great information that is super relevant to the current recruiting and retention dynamics we’re facing.”
“Katie was the Presenter at our NAWBO-OC meeting for the Mentoring Program. The presentation focused on LinkedIn for women business owners. Katie gave us excellent new tools and info to move ahead in developing our LinkedIn endeavors. The meeting was a HUGE hit.”
“Katie’s presentation at Tuesday night’s IABC meeting was among the top five I’ve ever heard at an IABC meeting, and I’ve been a member for over 30 years.”
“Thank you for speaking at our Annual Board of Directors Meeting in Anaheim last month. I have never received so many positive comments from our members about a speaker, and it also sparked several great discussions about social media usage.”
“Katie is very knowledgeable, well prepared, and presented lots of actionable info that was directly applicable to my business.”
“What a privilege it was to have Katie Wagner speak at our recent meeting. Katie is a true expert on social media and digital marketing and makes these complex concepts clear for those who aren’t. Her examples, stories and visuals were compelling and engaging. I strongly believe we all came away with fresh perspectives on how these powerful tools can benefit our clients and our businesses. Thanks Katie, for inspiring us all!”
“Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation last night. It was so informative, and you certainly had everyone’s undivided attention. I felt that everyone would have stayed and listened for much longer if time permitted. I really appreciate your time and energy. You were fantastic!”
“Well thought out and clear information set to deploy in your business. I have actually implemented a few of the suggestions made in Katie’s presentation already.”
“Katie’s presentation was informative, enlightening and interesting!!! It’s hard to keep this crowd engaged, but she did it with precision and great success.”
“It was refreshing to hear an expert make it simple. Too often presenters want to impress their audience by making us aware of their brilliance, you did not, and yet we came away with “Katie is brilliant.” Really good, very useful information.”
“I was very impressed with the depth of Katie’s knowledge, the friendliness of her colleagues, and her practical approach to what can be a mystifying subject. Any small business owner understands the critical importance of getting the word out through social media, but many of us do not know how to use it very effectively or efficiently. After the first session, I went home and immediately changed my approach to using Facebook for my business. Katie is also very generous in sharing tips, slides and helpful hints.”
