Speaking Engagements

As the Director of Penn State's business accelerator, I'm always looking for individuals with deep expertise to share their knowledge with our startups and local business community. I met Brian last fall, and after speaking with him about his background, I asked him to be a guest speaker as part of our Expert Speaker Series. He spoke first in the fall about social media marketing techniques and his session was full of great actionable advice. He got rave reviews from those in attendance and his session was the best attended of the series. It was such a success that I brought him back in the spring to speak on a different social media topic. His 2nd talk was just as well-received. It's clear that Brian has deep expertise in many aspects of social media marketing and he knows how to clearly share that knowledge with others. He is an amazing resource to have in our community.

Brian offered me pointed advice on how to go about in understanding my customer more deeply. Getting his insights on marketing strategies was very helpful and his depth of knowledge about creating a brand pushed me to think of things that I had not initially considered. Thank you Brian!

Brian has presented on the topics of Facebook marketing, sales growth and overall startup hustle at the Happy Valley LaunchBox powered by PNC Bank in the past and will again be presenting in the near future. The student, faculty, staff and community startups in our ecosystem are blessed to have Brian as a resource, mentor and coach that despite and incredibly busy schedule manages to be very willing to give of his time, energy and knowledge. In addition to group presentations, Brian has volunteered for office hours and curated meetings with startup teams that are experiencing pain points in getting their platforms or physical product to the masses. I highly recommend Brian and would encourage anyone looking to work with him to be ready, because he is most certainly the REAL DEAL.

“I had the privilege of working with Brian on the marketing team at Pixlee. Not only was Brian an incredibly positive and and collaborative team member, he also never ceased to amaze me with his endless amounts of knowledge and plans to execute tactics successfully. I truly consider Brian a mentor and would recommend Brian to any team. This man has knowledge, skills, drive, and knows exactly what to do to get things done.”

“I brought Brian in to assist us in putting my company’s digital marketing on the right track. Brian conducted extensive research which revealed key issues and opportunities for my company to improve its digital marketing.

“I would highly recommend Brian’s digital marketing services. He pays very close attention to detail, and treats every client the same whether they are a small mom and pop company or a Fortune 500 firm. Brian helped our business gain more traction on our social media networks, resulting in more sales. Any business would benefit from Brian’s expertise.”

“Brian’s dynamic personality and vast knowledge make it easy to listen, pay attention and learn. In a sea of ever-changing information—which lends to most hotel executives feeling constantly behind the ball—he makes it seem possible and shows us what we should and shouldn’t focus our efforts on.”

“What a treat to hear such an expert! Brian provided real-life examples that we then applied directly to our marketing plans. The material was delivered at an excellent pace, and the audience was captivated.”

“Brian Cliette is the epitome of integrity and humility. I had the pleasure of working with Brian directly for two years. During this time he has provide to be a genuine team player, a friend and an expert in his chosen field. Mr. Cliette has many talents and is well respected among his peers. For all the aforementioned reasons and more I, without hesitation recommend Brian Cliette to anyone interested in working with him.”

“I would definitely recommend Brian’s digital client services. I personally benefited from working with him because I learned the inner workings of SEO and social media and how to better optimize my online products. Brian’s experience and offerings can help any business that needs a better online presence.”

“We had Brian Cliette as our Keynote Speaker at the 2015 Digital Marketer’s Conference. The packed room, engaged audience and enthusiastic Q&A follow-up were due to Brian’s confidence, intelligence and authenticity. People are still talking about it,and we will definitely have him back next year.”

“Brian’s live optimization training sessions are practical, easy to follow and priced reasonably, and his expertise, charm and enthusiasm will keep you interested throughout the entire session. I incorporated all the changes suggested during the training and the results manifested within days.”

“We reached out to Brian’s company to get more quality leads on LinkedIn. Brian devised a strategy for our company that is now producing more quality leads than traditional marketing initiatives. We are happy we took this approach and we are ready to work again with Brian.”

“We were hesitant to try marketing in LinkedIn, as we didn’t understand the benefits and saw it as no more than a giant address book. It took Brian’s expertise to convince us of the opportunities we were missing. Our page went from a static page to a lead-generating page. Thanks, Brian!”

“Brian’s in-depth knowledge of the LinkedIn platform and its benefits to any professional was evident. The online training covers items that although may seem obvious, are missed by most professionals when setting up their profiles. If you think you have a solid profile, think again, and consider taking Brian’s online training sessions.”

“LinkedIn is now the site to be in if you want to find your next great job or grow your business to the next level, but I learned the hard way that just having a profile doesn’t cut it anymore. I contacted Brian Cliette via LinkedLoop.com to get some assistance in making my profile better. They offered a consultation to learn more about me and studied my profile. They came back with a lot of good recommendations that made a huge difference. I highly recommend them!”
