Few people can meaningfully speak of both the entrepreneur's universe and the Fortune 50. Dave Knox's unique background in these two worlds gives him a perspective like no other.

"We brought Dave as our only keynote speaker for our first Global Marketers Meeting. This was the first time we were bringing together USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Western Europe marketers. We were all new and needed a kick in the pants to ensure we could disrupt the disruptors. Dave is a super-energetic speaker. He focused on teaching us how to create and maintain a culture of innovation and speed. He was the highest-rated module of the four-day event"

David kept the audience of senior marketing professionals engaged by opening their minds and provoking thought. His content was continually brought up throughout the rest of the event and he earned extremely high grades in the post-event surveys. Highly recommended!

I had the privilege of using Dave Knox as an opening speaker and would echo what one of my attendees told me afterwards 'Dave Knox was the best opening keynote I have ever heard'. He energized the room and set the tone for the day!

This book is packed with current and relevant examples of how the game is changing between big companies and start-ups. It's a one day read because Dave's writing is so compelling, honest, and insight based. The lessons are clear, and so too is the overarching lesson that the competitive advantages are shifting, and winners must prioritize the speed in new business models.

Dave Knox challenged us to think differently about everything - exposing us to new start-ups, technologies, and engagement techniques. Most importantly, he encouraged us to NOT follow our own rules but TO follow the rules of our target audience if we want to be invited to play in their sandbox. Working with him is exciting, scary, but ALWAYS delivers the right results.

I've worked with Dave in several capacities on the conference circuit. He's been a trusted advisor, helping my team to shape event content and programming. Dave's unique experience - spanning brand at P&G, agency at Rockfish, and with entrepreneurs at the Brandery - positions him as a versatile and knowledgeable resource for conference creators and attendees alike. As a speaker, he is dynamic and engaging on both small and large stages
