Stoney at SMX

Book Me to Speak at Your Event

Digital marketing, time travel, or a mix of both, I’m a passionate speaker with command of the material and a heart for education and entertainment. Having started in the field of digital marketing all the way back in 1998, I have amassed a wealth of knowledge, experience and hands-on expertise. There are very few things I enjoy more than teaching marketers how to grow their companies through time-tested digital strategies.

Here are a few sample presentation titles:

I have presented at world-class search marketing conferences including PubCon and Search Marketing Expo, as well as marketing organizations such as International Association of Business Communicators Cleveland, in-house teams such as L’Oreal, and local business workshops.

Want me to speak to your team or event about digital marketing (with a few sci-fi references thrown in for good measure), contact me at stoneygd@gmail.com.
