Carla Johnson

“Carla has become one of the leading voices in the content marketing industry. She’s spoken at Content Marketing World events a number of times and always performs in the top quadrant. Her sessions are original, well attended and her scores improve year after year.”

“We challenged Carla to deliver an inspiring, thoughtful and content rich session…in under 17 minutes. Our goal was to get attendees to be inspired to learn more through a motivating short form session. During our prep calls, she asked insightful questions, listened to our input and explained how she would tie it all together. She is a professional and I felt confident that she would deliver. And she did! We were thrilled with her performance, and I tell people, Hire Carla! She is smart, thought-provoking, a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. She elevates the credibility of your programming and leaves your audience yearning to learn more!”

“Carla Johnson is a class-act pro speaker. As our lead-off keynote speaker there was a lot of weight on my shoulders, as well as hers. However, she absolutely rocked the stage, and exceeded my expectations for her ability to engage a room full of technical marketers and business development professionals. We’ve already received multiple requests for companies to host her at their local events in the future. Thank you, Carla!”

“My favorite outcome from Carla’s presentation was a sense of empowerment through the recognition that all great things are created by someone who faces challenges just as we all do. And that rather than feeling intimidated by the impressive display of creativity, we should embrace it as inspiration. Carla is delightful, both professionally and personally. Her approach, whether it be in as a consultant or speaker, is always thoughtful and well executed. I look forward to an opportunity to work with her again!”

“Carla recently spoke at a BMA NY event on creativity and BtoB marketing and did a masterful job. In a world overrun with content, especially about marketing, what she had to say was fresh and eye opening. Better yet, she had a strong point of view, so went beyond the status quo with her own original ideas. As anyone who does a lot of speaking knows, it takes more than a good presentation. You need the delivery, and that’s where Carla shines. She’s energetic, passionate, and winsome. She knows how to engage an audience, even the sleepy people in the back. She’s good!”

“Carla’s energy on stage was my favorite part of working with her. It’s absolutely contagious! She got the whole audience up, laughing, feeling positive and energized. She’s an absolute super-star speaker and her skills blew me away. I loved Carla’s concept of Brand Detachment Disorder. She made it funny and everyone could identify with the problem. Then she backed it up with stories and examples that made the concept hit home. I’m 100% having her back at my next conference. She’s an incredible opening or closing keynote to any event.”

“My favorite outcome of Carla’s keynote was the incredible enthusiasm among the audience afterward. She helped them realize that they, too, have the chops to innovate, and it’s not nearly as hard or intimidating as it seems. Carla is an engaging and energetic speaker with an uncanny ability to connect to her audience through careful research and a genuine interest in making her message resonate. I was particularly impressed with how many questions she asked about who our audience was, what they do, and what their hopes and fears are. She then took the responses to those questions and delivered a keynote that hit us head on with possibilities. It definitely made me feel like we were more than a job or a paycheck – she honestly cared about how we received her message and what we did with it afterward.”

“Carla was magnificent. Her message was extremely insightful and captivated our audience. She truly overshot our expectations. We would highly recommend her and our audience gave nothing but positive feedback.”

“Carla brings a level of polished professionalism that keeps the audience leaning in the entire time she presented her keynote. And her workshop was one of the most interactive experiences I have been a part of with a guest speaker. The time and care Carla spent preparing for the day with us helped her step seamlessly into our world, and gain the buy-in and permission of the team to engage deeply with them. Since Carla came and worked with our teams, they’ve been sending me chats around ideas and how to present them. By leaving them with a call to action to demonstrate their new skills with finding and presenting ideas, she’s has already had an impact.”
