Upcoming Speaking Engagements, Events and Courses
I speak regularly on Internet marketing and social media, place branding and personal branding. I can perform my talks in English, Icelandic and Danish. I try to keep my talks lively, relaxed and interactive, giving the audience an opportunity to shoot in questions and react to the content. I've spoken at universities, conferences, award festivals and private events and my talks can be from few minutes up to two days (good practice if I'd ever run for president in Cuba ;) The topics I talk about include:
- Be an Online Success - Two day Internet marketing course
- I, the brand - 3 hour course in personal branding and online reputation management
- People will tell - up to 45 min. talk on how social media is changing the way we do business and marketing
- Recession Marketing - 15-180 min inspiring talk on different marketing tactics and strategies during recession
- Place branding talks and workshops
All talks can be customized to fit your needs and time frame. For speaker requests, please send an email to hjortur (at) scope.is with information about the event, what you want me to speak about, time, location, travel arrangements and budget.
