Best Chicago Marketing Speakers

SEO & Content Marketing |Social Media | 22 Comments

A while back, we posted this question on Facebook and got back over 60 comments with a great list of marketing speakers.

From that one Facebook post, we were able to come up with a list of Chicago marketing speakers. Sweet!

Do you know the marketing speakers on this list? You can vote up or down anyone from the list, vote yourself in, or leave a comment to add someone.

My other motivation behind this, is that we have Content Jam, a two-day content marketing event, fast approaching and this will help us when considering speakers for the event.

And of course, if you’d like to consider our own Andy Crestodina as a content marketing speaker for your event, drop us a line…

Wait, more practical insights? Yes, please!

  It’s hard to vote isn’t it? Especially since many on the list talk on different topics… and they’re all great, friendly, charming (except me ;p) , knowleadgeable, rock stars, inspring… 🙂
