Speaking & Panel Services
Engaging speakers that get the message across clearly - without confusing or selling directly to the audience.

Communicating a message to a mixed audience in a why that is engaging, compelling and clear on a topic that typically relates to technology is a challenge.

Regardless of the engagement whether it is internal, with partners or at an external event the level or understanding and existing knowledge will always vary dramatically making it exceptionally easy for audience members to tune-out.


I'm a geek, we get our product and value proposition, it's cool - so why aren't they paying attention ?

Many technology presenters rely heavily on visual aids, internal product differentiators and feature talk to support them. Other key-note style or guests speakers regurgitate a life experience story, usually adapted a little to keep it current with the hope of satisfying the clients needs. In many cases this tends to come across as 'all about our stuff' / 'all about me' and although maybe interesting to some adds little value to the to target audience.

With decades of international experience speaking to audiences of varying sizes, delivering training and engaging customers directly OurPropHeads are uniquely skilled at developing stories and presenting complex messages to mixed audiences in a way that resonates and keeps the majority engaged.

It's not canned, boring or regurgitated - we create customized engaging stories that resonates with the audience.

How do we do this ? (It's not easy and we don't just dumb it down)

Without directly 'pushing the product' OurPropHeads take the approach of deeply understanding the clients offer and developing angles that intrigue the audience by educating them on a topic that do not fully understand establishing the client as a trusted thought leader. This technique keeps the audience engaged whilst enabling us to combine the technology content with business benefits and the value proposition stimulating new avenues of discussion in post presentation 1:1 enragements by sales team members.
