Michael Barber

“I had the pleasure of attending a masterclass workshop on email marketing hosted by Michael at this year's Digital Summit DC. He somehow made four hours go by in the blink of an eye, and I left feeling well-educated with a renewed sense of interest in revamping our email marketing programs. From his presentation, it is clear he has a holistic sense of digital strategy that is not siloed to one tactic, and though I have not worked with him as a consultant it is a characteristic that I would look for when choosing one. Would love the opportunity to continue to learn from him in the future; in the meantime, happy to follow his expertise on social media channels like LinkedIn and beyond!”

“Having worked alongside Michael for slightly over a year, I wholeheartedly recommend him. A consummate professional, he also proved a strong mentor and advisor. He manages design, content, advertising and backend projects with confidence and grace. He is an example of leadership, accountability and kindness in the workplace. ”

“Michael has presented several webinars on marketing for Pinpointe On-Demand, and he always does an outstanding job. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he also is an excellent presenter with the ability to captivate an online audience (which isn't always easy). He meets deadlines and has an easy-going, but professional personality. I would highly recommend him for any marketing speaking engagements. Pinpointe will definitely be asking him to present for our audience again.”

“Michael - Thanks so much for your virtual Email Marketing seminar yesterday to our very appreciative group of ING members. To quote one of our members, "This was the best email marketing presentation I have ever seen." It was well organized and full of impactful information. The hour went so quickly. I look forward to seeing your presentation in person at our 30th Anniversary ING Spring Conference next May in Valley Forge, PA!!”

“I spent countless minutes in conferences and conference rooms. None as valuable as the first 45 minutes I spent with Michael at the MarketingProfs B2B Forum. Yeah, he's engaging and funny and can tell a great story, but what got me as giddy as Christmas morning was all the knowledge and actionable actions he was sharing, stuff I could put to work immediately to see our email marketing quality spike exponentially. I was beyond thrilled when I realized he was the speaker for the whole day workshop I had signed up. The day with him didn't disappoint--I left with a comprehensive understanding of how I can increase email engagement and use it to drive business results and an expert connection I'll be sure to tap into as we continue to evolve email marketing at VSP. ”

“I was thoroughly impressed with Michael's engaging session and full-day workshop on email marketing at the MarketingProfs B2B conference. He's clearly very knowledgeable and delivered on tips, best practices, and proven lessons from his experience. Michael is an outstanding speaker with genuine delivery and lessons any marketer can implement. ”

“Michael has an incredible ability to think both strategically and tactically about everything marketing oriented. His leaders will tell you he brings an innovative approach to all projects and his peers will share his creative approach allows them to achieve even greater engagement and satisfaction with their clients. His team will tell you he inspires them to develop their skills, personally and professionally. His friends will tell you he goes the extra mile for all those he cares for, and he excels in his genuine approach. He's a quality human with incredible attention to detail in everything he does. He's an asset to every team, the stage he speaks on, an event he partners with, and any audience he serves. Highly recommend him. ”

“Run don't walk to Micheal's email marketing workshops. You will walk out feeling like you got a degree on how to produce effective email campaigns that actually work. Not only is Michael an engaging and exciting speaker, the information and insight he provides you with is priceless. Don't miss the chance to hear Michael speak.”

“Michael is a wonderfully engaging speaker! Recently, he was the featured speaker at an online seminar on email marketing. I was planning to listen while mult-tasking -- how classic in our digital world! Instead within a few minutes, he had me totally engrossed, I put everything else aside, and focused for the entire hour -- took notes, asked questions, listened to answers. Just what you hope, but so rarely get! I would go out of my way to hear Michael Barber share ideas about marketing and creativity. You should, too!”

“I saw Michael's presentation on Email Marketing at the 2019 Digital Summit in LA, and his session was by far one of my favorites. Every minute of his presentation was rich with valuable tips/information, while keeping the audience engaged. A combination of expertise and charisma made Michael a fantastic presenter. He also gladly answered questions and offered additional advice as audience members approached him afterwards to speak with him one-on-one. I'd definitely recommend Michael as a speaker at future marketing events!”

“Michael took pains to demystify email marketing to the participants at a digital marketing conference.

His presentation was engaging, informative, and probably one of the best such presentations I have seen given on this subject matter.”

After his presentation, I was eager to return to work and share what I had learned with our team. A huge thanks to Michael for sharing his knowledge to grow our profession. ”

“I had the pleasure of bringing in Michael as the keynote speaker for emfluence's 2018 And Then Some Conference. Our conference has a particular focus on email marketing, and many of our attendees are digital savvy and hungry for email marketing information that goes beyond the basics. Michael delivered--and then some. He was personable, fun, super smart, and ready to answer audience questions on the fly--our attendees loved him. I would highly recommend bringing in Michael for the email marketing audience in your life. ”

“My experience working with Michael has been great. We began our working partnership while under a short timeline and he and his team were nothing short of fantastic. Michael is a great communicator and prompt responder to questions that are necessary to move projects along. He also provides insight leadership skills and understanding that are helpful along the way. I definitely have enjoyed working with Michael thus far!”

“Michael Barber was one of our first Account Directors who knew all all facets of marketing and advertising from all sides :print, interactive, social, and broadcast. He managed an Account Executive and imparted his knowledge to her daily with effective, concise communication, always giving clear direction, and keeping her abreast of the latest trends in the market. He managed what was at that time, our largest account, in terms of revenue, and always kept the client happy. I can say that I personally had a better time at the office while Michael worked there being that we shared an office. Any digital team would be fortunate to have Michael as an additional to their team for concepting & strategy, planning, managing and execution. Additionally, Michael is adept at giving post-launch analysis, re-capping programs and giving recommendations on how to do the next program even better. On a personal note, it truly is a delight having him around!”

Good luck to you!”

“Michael is one of the brightest, sharpest, strategic minds in the Phoenix marketing arena. He is aggressively ambitious with a keen eye for opportunity and a business sense beyond his years. He's hungry...and he funnels his passion into whatever objective is at hand; client goals, career and home life. He's not one to sit and watch the pack go by -- he leads.
