Pure Genius. I am a Sophomore Business/Entrepreneurship major in college and professors are literally teaching the same marketing techniques as they were 10 years ago. So thankful for successful marketing professionals like yourself who are willing to freely share what has and has not worked for you. I follow your content religiously. Thanks for everything! Cheers.

Thanks for watching that video, Alex! Keep watching Gary's videos... The value is insane.

"Play in the year we are actually in." - Gary V! Loved this video, thank you!

and BAM...another awesome speech Gary!

watched this with my phone and laptop..television on!! You are brilliant

"You've got to build a brand, otherwise its a tactic." - GV is all I wrote after I copied the embed code & put it on my new mobile blog. Especially after focusing on advanced hypnotic storytelling/email marketing training/conversion stuff the past year...this was such a grounding 'heart-check' of a quote. Love ya man!

I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on your new book. Every event marketer should listen to this keynote and get a dose of reality. Thanks!

Awesome video Gary, I too have been watching your videos for a while now, about 2 months. Feels so profound getting my head around this stuff. You're all heart. Keep doing what you're doing.

I'm not going to lie. As much stuff as I've seen of yours, it does not get old. You always give me something to think about and I've used many of your principles with regards to my business, social media, and how I should approach it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are an incredible source of inspiration for those who are aspiring towards better. Look forward to your book and more videos in the immediate and near future. Thank you again.

You say things I don't know how to say. You embody and express the trapped spirit of visionaries like me, stuck in low-level management positions, looking for the right outlet. You blow my mind. I'll meet you one day and tell you what your words mean to me, what a difference they make and how they prod and stir people with misunderstood value.

I've watched a lot of garyvee keynotes. This one is unassuming, relevant today, and tight.

Might be my favorite of all talks I have ever seen since before Crush It.

Coffee is for closers... You really do live it Gary. And because you do, another Amazon order. Can't wait to read it.

Thanks for the reply Marcelle. I love Gary speeches. I can't wait till his book comes out

I love the fact that this video is content marketing teaching about content marketing. After watching the talk I instantly added Gary's new book to my Amazon Wishlist. And Gary didn't even ask me to. It works! :)

So excited for Elevate NYC next week! Hope to see those of you BizBash followers at the door!

Once again, you're money Gary. I have used your advice to make my facebook and twitter accounts so much more interactive. Thanks!!!

This is still relevant today, 2024!!

Garry you are a fricken legend. Great talk and really looking forward to your new book.

Love this message. Your message is so clear in this time. Keep it up!!

Clap clap from France ! Great inspiration.

Hey Gary. I used to produce the video for events like the one you are speaking at for "marketing guru's". Almost all withheld their current strategies and divulged only yesterdays tactics. Thank you for being current and sharing openly. :)

The Joke of the road works every time. Awesome message, ahmazing how you tell all the information that others will never share. Thanks. The story Telling advice TODAY I got it right, even though you said it many times.

Powerful stuff Gary - now off to implement, thanks for another great STORY!

And that´s how you keep it REAL kidz! Great speech man!

Gary you get wiser and better with. Every talk

Thanks Gary, Awesome video. Really enjoyed it.

Great keynote Gary, people got a lot to learn from you

Excellent work. Keep the videos coming, always find you to be very insightful, Gary.

Loved this! Have a page of notes and am ready to implement this in my businesses! You are brilliant!

Today marks the first time I've met you. I was doing research for a client's promotion happened upon your video chat with Jackie who followed your advice and banked $1,000 after making 3 phone calls. I then surfed into this training session... You are an authentic coach and remind me of the old saying, "When the student is ready the teacher appears." I am ready Sensei :) Thanks for what you do!!

18 minutes to summarise 20 years and look another 20 (months) into the future. Stories need Attention. First rule, Awareness. 10/10 again G.

you speak the truth, Gary. love the "everyone's a media company" reference, sort of like picking up where Andy Warhol left off. thanks for the inspiration!

One of your best Gary. I just wrote a post after watching this video. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy.

As usual - spot on Gary

Thanks for posting. Great as always. I love the term "inbound marketing" To me this is the process you are describing.

so good! Thanks for doing this!

All good Gary. Always enjoyed WLTV and your Thank You economy thinking is spot on. You've always brought it to the table and jjjrh is no different! Love your energy dude.

Great Keynote Gary.

Saw you in Toronto...you're getting even more powerful with your message! Nice...can't wait for your new book to launch.

This is epic Gary, feeling very inspired for my client pitch tomorrow!

Great video! Love your stuff. You rock!

Great content as usual Gary. I love the fact that you are not trying to make friends. But you are influencing people because you speak like a man that knows and understands what he/you are thinking. I live he fact hat you are always building value, expecting lathing in return. You are building followers, buyers and supporters for life. Thanks!

Gary, you know I support you bro and look to you as a role model. It was really great to hear what you are saying about what is going on NOW. You have been saying for some time now that banner ads and certain other ads are dying out. Do you think there will ever be cell phone ads that randomly pop up? I am starting to see it on TV, rare, but I do see it. Thanks again for sharing man. Great talk!

Recently I've started to see to ads after clicking on links on twitter (primarily news sites). You are supposed to digest the ad before closing it to read the web post. Guess what I do? Like you, I close that shit because that link, that knowledge, that post has just wasted my time and isn't worth anything because of that ad and it won't get read, digested or be allowed to influence. You nailed this talk Gary. This is my second time watching it in 5 days and I really think it's one of your best.

great keynote, very informative and the parts I liked the most were about being VALUE driven on social media

Awesome presentation.

I think the thing people are missing is that our attention is diffused by the wide array of options at our disposal. What Gary seems to be hitting on is that you have the power to bring that focus back on you and your message but you need to cultivate your tools before it is obvious what you need to win the attention battle. If you wait for the audiences to clearly arrive, it will be too late to hone your craft to capture them before they move on again.

18.59 minutes of gold

wow wow its like your in my mind Thank You I have learned so much in the 18min

Hey Gary I used to watch you on WLTV and haven't seen anything from you in ages, to be honest I had a look at your twitter to gauge your level of despair at the Sanchez situation. I've always ignored your business stuff as I am not an entrepreneur or marketer. But this video was seriously accurate and tight and compelling. Good stuff.

Great video Gary, with need more keynotes form you.

Great advice, I love your passion. The observations that you spoke about really hit me. My wife and I will be either on her iPhone, iPad, Macbook Air while watching TV, and by watching TV I mean something that we downloaded without Ads. It's given food for thought regarding SnapChat, which I don't really use at the moment, but will look into because its another way to add value.

Great presentation! I got inspired.

good stuff Gary - btw Green shoes FTW

I have got to get better at telling my story on pinterest. I guess I've let it lay around because it seems ingenue to tell my "own story" on that platform. However, that thought process definitely hasn't worked yet. Great motivation here. Thank you.

First off, great talk, i very much enjoyed it! Secondly though I saw your book mentioned in the "About" section before the video I wasn't sure if it was going to be for me. By the end of the talk it was safely sitting in my amazon wishlist. Very well done Gary.

Well done!!

Gary Thanks for all the videos. I learned a lot. I am almost done watching them all. I will buy the books! You earned the sale. I am starting a business online and this Flintstone is going to Yaba Daba Do it! Grace and Peace to you and yours Jeffery Kirn

Was thinking the same!!

That is a new great quote: "the quickest way to go out of business is to be romantic with the way you make money." Nice!

Good one GV. I wanted to be at that one. Sorry I missed it

Hi, Gary I did indeed, my friend - wishing you all the more success :)

A lot of what you were speaking about, I think most folks already know but just don't realize it. For instance, its funny to hear you talk about banner ads and billboard advertisements and how they go unnoticed, which is absolutely true. In fact, they are so irrelevant nowadays, that until you mentioned it, I hadn't even realized that, YES, I don't notice these antiquated forms of marketing? Sometimes we just need to hear it over and over again for things to sink in, sadly. Great video!

great video and great thoughts as always Gary... glad I stumbled across this video this afternoon! "they're not even looking at the fucking road anymore!" classic. You couldn't be more on point with this video my dude!

What's awesome is that you practice what you preach. Look at the comments on this video that you replied to. Question: Wouldn't that really take up your time? I know companies hire social media managers to do that, but that just takes the personal out of it. How do you juggle, when responding becomes part of work, a huge part.

Well maybe 3 days. It feels like a lifetime.

lol I must admit I'm watching this while tweeting on my phone

Though all of us love to vc the kickass Charisma and Sheer Passion.of the kid in U...This tym it was a more Content Focussed, Real Value Matured talk!

Great talk - sharing it with a conference committee I'm on ... I hate mass emails!

Hello Dom, TV ads may still be alive in London but in most big market areas of the US it is dead. TV ads are likely reaching people that are broke anyway. Hit their phone for to deliver value=+EV. It's the future. It's been happening in the US for years now.

Give me a break, gary!! Seriously??!!?! Your content is so f***ing amazing that I have a hard time coming up with a compliment that won't sound like an insult... Your stuff is just......................... awesome dude!

Still very relevant

im trying about it!! hope i can

Your welcome. Thanks iphone for or the spelling errors. Have a great day G.

Thanks Gary, I think we over complicate this marketing thing without thinking like a marketer.

My 4 year old son always click KZfaq ad x close button since he was 3

I've been watching your videos over the last few days. Gotta say, you're fucking awesome. I've picked up some great tips and information already - thanks, G :)

Gary, I caught you live at #DSES in 2011. Great keynote. Question for you. If I had the missing link that you are looking for, would you have the time to connect? You have this topic nailed!!!!

great stuff, Gary. You are right. I will have a closer look at my children how they will use the media in the future. You cannot hold more than three devices at the moment, can't you?! ;-)

Simple after all. In spain we use a lot the following expression: If its short and good, is twice good. without mistakes.

Gary, Incredible insights, but I want to push back a little bit. I'm curious what your take is on Apple's launch of the iPad. Many would argue that its TV ad was a critical call to action for the consumer to buy the iPad despite very negative critic sentiment (KZfaq: "What is iPad?", see Isaacson's book). Yes, that was 2010. So, if Apple were to launch a product today with similar critic sentiment, what should it do to see similar success if you say it should not use a commercial?

I'm always saying we let our Marketing hats for too long and never put the Consumer hat. This applies especially in the digital CTAs on offline advertising - sometimes we place it so small or so confusing that we don't stop for a second as a consumer and think "If it's not important for the brand, why is it important for me?"

I've heard you mention snap chat a few times now. So curious to see how it's handled.

Right.

Love your work! But is email all that bad, given that more people have email accounts than are on Facebook, Twitter and Linked In COMBINED?

FU Gary I still watch you because you are the shit!!

I think it will be a lot sooner than 2020. Granted, the political scene can be slow to adopt new technologies. And campaigns are behaving exactly the way you're referencing by treating social media as a push-only channel. However, I think we're going to see some fundamental changes in strategy as early as next year. By 2020, I don't think a candidate will be able to get elected without a solid social media engagement strategy that treats voters like real people. The game is changing.

2024

Tomorrow I am spending some time to really implement Snapchat into my businesses!

He is practicing what he preaches. (which seems rare these days) =P

Great video as always from Gary...can I come and work for free at your company? :D

I'd say absolutely yes, you've actually got an advantage if you know how to make content LOOK good.

Gary I love your passion and knowledge but what if my niche is with the baby boomers?

So how much of what you talk about do you think can be used in political campaigns to get someone elected to a local office?

By "story telling" do you mean lying/dishonesty? :) But then, I don't understand anything.

a-Fucking-men.

Three cheers for common sense (maybe not common)...

I love this video. It’s 2023, still much of this is very relevant! @garyvee 🎉
