Top motivational speakers needs a track record. They need a story. They need amazing book praise.
Would a $300 million dollar track record work?
Mark Hughes literally put Half.com on the map by convincing Halfway, Oregon to rename itself to Half.com, Oregon.
The payoff? eBay bought the company for $300 million six months later.
Time magazine calls Hughes the man behind “one of the greatest publicity coups in history.”
His book, ("Buzzmarketing" from publisher Penguin/Portfolio) has received praise from the former editor of The Wall Street Journal, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Pepsi-Cola, ice cream king Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, and Steve Forbes. A veritable who’s who of praise for one of the top motivational speakers.
Fast Company proclaimed Hughes’ book one of "The Ten Best Business Reads of the year" in its first year of publication, and The Financial Times of London called it one of the Best Business Books of the Year next to Freakonomics.
Top Motivitational Speakers Have Top Ten Business Books Like These
His book is published in 12 languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Hebrew. As one of the top motivational speakers, Hughes has got one of the most informative and entertaining speeches today. Part Oprah, part Tom Peters…he informs, he entertains, he delivers. His speaking agent is the former agent for Malcolm Gladwell.
Top Motivitational Speakers Have Amazing Resumes Like These
Before life as one of the top motivational speakers and authors, Hughes spent his career working for PepsiCo's Pizza Hut Division (NYSE: YUM), Pep Boys (NYSE: PBY), and American Mobile Satellite (transformed to XM Satellite Radio – NASDAQ: XMSR) as well as ebay’s Half.com (NASDAQ: EBAY), and holds his MBA from Columbia Business School.
Creating buzz and achieving the impossible, is the currency of our marketing economy. Perhaps $300 million dollars worth of currency.
