Brewing Culture

As a panelist on Capitol Hill and The White House, your reflections on the role of comedy were a great benefit. And as the emcee, your humor, quit wit and probing questions energized the audience of congressional staff members.

Google Sales Conference

Tim got people laughing, enthused, and eager to discuss what had seemed to be the dry topic of B2B marketing. He knows how to energize an audience and get them thinking creatively and differently about their toughest business challenges. I can't give TIm enough praise, he is one of the few out there that truly 'gets it'.

We'll share a few comedy lessons learned from freelancing on The Onion and Conan and show how those rules can be used to create corporate social media content to breaks through the clutter.
