Ari Popper

I have had the pleasure of hearing Ari speak on a number of occasions now and he has wowed the audience each and every time. Most recently, Ari spoke at our eCommerce team’s All Hands Meeting and the outcome and impact he had on our group was both meaningful and lasting. Through his highly engaging content and genuine style underpinned by visible passion and expertise, Ari challenges and inspires his audiences to think differently and reconsider the realm of possibility. From this perspective, he has truly changed the mindset of our team, a high bar for any speaker to achieve. The only question we continue to ask ourselves as it relates to Ari as a speaker is how we can get him in front of more audiences at Clorox!

At The Learning Forum, we have had Ari speak several times. Our audience are senior executives from F500 companies and can be a tough crowd. Ari hits the mark every time. It doesn’t hurt that the things he share are not only very cool to learn about, but he ties it in with the disruption we are all facing. As a speaker, Ari’s style is authentic, his content is though provoking and his experience with similar large organizations come through. A key metric for the speakers we use is how the audience engages. With Ari, we always have to plan for more Q&A time because there’s always more to learn from him.

In less than 15 minutes, Ari made me realize that I was trapped in the present and that my future vision was limited to what was currently available or emerging. How about that which emerges after that? 30 years from now, the world will have changed more than between now and when our great grandparents were born.

Ari has a unique way to unlock our minds so that we may envision how that world may possibly function. Attending his workshops and speaking engagements is a truly life-changing experience that everyone should attend.

Quantitative research sometimes gets a bad rep for being dry and tactical. Conversely, qualitative methodologies sometimes leave the audience wondering if the results are representative of the universe at large. Collaborating with Ari allowed us to bridge the gap between the 2 approaches by utilizing his rigorous methodological quantitative background with creative ways to approach generating consumer-based insights. The innovative perspective Ari brought to our projects is even more valuable because it is deeply rooted in his knowledge of the science of primary consumer research. From inception to completion Ari was an invaluable partner whose passion and knowledge fueled the process, and I am looking forward to collaborating with him again.
