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!
“Katie Wagner did a fantastic job engaging her audience and presenting the material in a way that was at the same time valuable, interesting, fun, and educational. 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!”

Thanks Katie, for inspiring us all!”
