SPEECH WRITING
EXPERIENCED SPEECH WRITER
I love to write a memorable speech. I have done them for many different U.S. and global wine and spirits executives who have in the past decade delivered them before important industry forums and business conferences.
I especially relish the opportunity to collaborate closely with senior executives, and other company executives with whom I work as a team to create a great presentation.
I am totally dedicated to listening carefully to each executive’s key points that they wish to express. Together, we then work very closely, along with their colleagues, to translate their message into forceful, persuasive terms, no matter the length involved. And, most importantly, thanks to my experience and sensitive ear, the final speech is in each client’s own words and phrasing, so it truly sounds like them giving the speech, and not me!
But the work doesn’t end there. I also conduct an intensive series of speech rehearsals, advising each client about how to improve their vocal delivery to achieve maximum impact.
Finally, I discuss with each client about selecting the art, advertising and other visual, audio or graphic components to complement and strengthen their overall presentation.
Here is a partial listing in alphabetical order by Company of major drinks industry speeches that I have been tasked to write and/or collaborate on for a CEO, Chairman and/or other Senior Sales and Marketing Executives. Please note, owing to confidentiality agreements I have signed, I am not always at liberty to reveal the name of the client.
Here is a list of some of my corporate clients, leading marketers for which I have written major speeches for senior executives who have delivered their presentations before such business forums as the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America Annual Convention, the annual Impact Marketing Seminar, and the National Association of Beverage Control Administrators Annual Conference, among others.
