Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Harold
What should I know about working with you?
I'm a responsive, high-engagement partner to work with. My goal by the end of each speaking engagement is to create more opportunities for you and your audience to continue the conversation and the learning process. I'm a big fan of capturing content, so I like to share and help promote your event.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Absolutely! While my experience has allowed me to build deep expertise in the specific subject areas that I speak on, curating and customizing my talks ensure that I'm connecting with your audience on a more personal level.
What kind of promotional support do you offer to help market the event?
My team and I become a part of your marketing and promotion team. From creating video content and graphics to share with my network, to resharing cobranded assets that your team offers, I will work to help promote and market your event.
How do you engage audiences post-event?
I offer my contact information (email, LinkedIn, and other social platforms) as well as the ability to book time with me one-on-one via Hubble. Some event organizers have reserved a block of time with me so that they can offer complimentary slots. More info: https://app.hubble.social/haroldhughes
Do you offer extras (book signings, meet-and-greets)?
Yes! As the Author of "A Kids Book About Blockchain," many organizers work with me to purchase my books in bulk to giveaway to attendees. From there, I work with the organizers to do book signings and meet-and-greets.
My organization has a limited budget. Do you have any flexibility in your pricing?
Yes! As a speaker who works with Fortune 500 corporations as well as community orgzniations and non-profits, I offer discounts for mission-driven organizations and educational institutions.
