McCrudden is the only motivational and leadership speaker in America to ever have a day of recognition passed by The United States Congress, not an easy task these days, will be coming to Chicago to speak with Small Business Owners.
"We are excited to announce our partnership with Kevin McCrudden. Kevin is a nationally recognized speaker whose expertise is built around building successful small and midsize businesses. Through a series of events, Kevin will be sharing his motivating and inspirational advice with business owners in the Chicago market. Chicago Tribune Media Group is committed to helping the small and midsize businesses thrive, and we are confident that Kevin's partnership will better position our clients for success in this very competitive marketplace." McCrudden is an international speaker and author that is considered one of the leading speakers on media convergence, multi media sales and media strategy. “I’m thrilled to be coming back to Chicago and presenting to the Small Business Community, said McCrudden. “You know, SMB’s are facing so many challenges in today’s market and economic conditions, they need someone that is willing to help them with some of their business decisions and strategies. Most people do not realize that SMBs represent roughly 70% of our GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and are the real engines behind our local economies. If our local SMBs aren’t healthy and providing local jobs, it can have a devastating impact on our local economies. That’s why I am so excited to go through my “Anatomy of a Successful Small Business©” with small business owners, launching in Chicago and then going nationally.” The “Anatomy of a Successful Small Business©,” is a seminar style program that brings small business owners through the strategic process of reevaluating their own business and their marketing and media strategy. Each participant will be given a booklet to fill out during the program that they can take with them and can act as a consolidated Marketing / Media Plan for their business. Many small business owners are so busy, that they never really make time to complete a Business or Marketing Plan. This program does that in an expedited fashion. Sarah Carson of Tribune Media Group says, “Our partnership with Kevin is really geared toward enhancing our clients’ experience. The Chicago Tribune Media Group strives to give advertisers a holistic approach to their marketing plan. By bringing in Kevin, we can give our clients unfettered access to information that will really help them build up their business.” McCrudden is best known for his creation of National Motivation & Inspiration Day, which is January 2nd of every year. He had it passed by Congress after the tragic events of 9-11-01. However, McCrudden also created one of the first “Media Convergence Models” in America back in 1999 when he stated, “the Internet is the most powerful medium ever created, because it can imitate all other media and they cannot imitate the Internet.” Since that time, he has traveled North America providing guidance to representatives from hundreds of media companies and small business owners. “The most important thing that I want small business owners to take away from this program is a new level of excitement and a strategy for the upcoming holiday season that they can implement and see ROI almost immediately. One of the things I have learned about SMBs over the years is that they are less impressed with some “rah-rah speech” than they are with getting results. I have taken that into consideration building the “Anatomy of a Successful Small Business©.” concluded McCrudden For those interested in attending, they can go to this link: http://tribads.chicagotribune.com/ Or, they can email stepsmith@tribune.com and attend either of these two sessions: OCTOBER 22 10:00 AM Tribune Tower: Campbell Hall 435 North Michigan Chicago, IL 60611 OCTOBER 22 3:00 PM DoubleTree by Hilton Libertyville- 510 E.
