SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY
Kelly McDonald is a marketing and advertising specialist and considered one of the nation’s top experts in consumer trends, generational differences and leveraging the customer experience. She is the founder of McDonald Marketing, which has twice been named one of the “Top Ad Agencies in the U.S.” by Advertising Age magazine and ranked as one of the fastest-growing independently-owned companies in the U.S. by Inc. Magazine.
Kelly speaks to organizations and associations of every size. She does 80-100 professional speaking engagements a year, working with clients directly as well as with speakers bureaus. Her style is a mix of high content and high humor. Kelly’s energy and humor keep audiences riveted and engaged. She employs audience interaction to foster learning and engagement, giving audiences a means of discussing the content and how it applies to their roles, their challenges and their opportunities.
There is no such thing as a “canned presentation” in Kelly’s world. She works with each client to customize the presentation for the client’s audience, industry (including language and terms specific to their industry) and geography, if applicable. Industry-specific and relevant examples are used, and audience interaction is welcomed.
Kelly is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. She now lives in Colorado. When she’s not speaking and traveling for business, she enjoys hiking in the mountains and being outside. And shopping for high heels.
