A keynote on engaging Gen Z in your industry & helps brands and executives understand the “why” behind Gen Z behaviors (my most popular snippet here of me giving one in Singapore for a crowd of 1,000). The audience takes away better ways to tailor/build their product, build and grow the community organically, and creative marketing tailored to the next generation.

A keynote on hiring & retaining your next-gen workforce (insights here & press features in Protocol and The Hustle). The audience takes away insights on how to position their brand/company for a next-gen audience and strategies to hire/retain and younger workforce.

 A keynote on brand-building, be it as a resource for your executives, employees, corporate brand, or community. We dive into category-specific insights based on role/function and how to grow a personal brand on social media / build thought leadership. (Viral thought leadership posts here & here that helped me grow my following on Twitter/LinkedIn to 70k).

A keynote on industry-specific AI insights and how to leverage technology to work for you & your company. (My viral story on writing and publishing a children's book about AI using ChatGPT & DALL·E 2, read here from Business Insider)

This keynote helps brands and executives understand how to approach the metaverse and ways Gen Z is engaging in digital worlds. Last year Meagan wrote her “Metaverse 101” 26-page manifesto, which went immediately viral and has been read by millions of people all over the world, specifically breaking down the metaverse from a Gen Z lens. The audience takes away Gen Z behaviors in the metaverse, new activations and the ways brands/companies in their peer set are engaging, and strategies to effectively enter the metaverse in 2023 (plus where to start)! (You can read my metaverse manifesto here & press here from Hunger Magazine edited by Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones, my work with billion-dollar company ClassDojo in Forbes, job opportunities in the metaverse in Business Insider, etc.)

This is closer to a motivational speech vs. a thought leadership type of keynote! My story is threaded with themes of women empowerment -- between growing up as the oldest of 3 girls, to being raised by a mom who was the breadwinner & went back to get her MBA in her 50s, to my own personal story from transitioning as a scholar with Girls Who Invest to becoming an Advisory Board member, as well as having dinner with Warren Buffett in Omaha my freshman year of college as a part of Smart Woman Securities. This keynote is about leaning into a community of women and finding your own strength as a woman in the workplace.

The key to building a great brand is community -- how are people organically spreading the word, building in incentivization structures, and ultimately monetizing. This keynote centers on how to build a strong community from scratch or ways to scale community through creativity. (I've scaled my free community to 23k+ entirely organically over the past two years, which has turned into a social movement, and my viral deep dive on paid membership communities went viral and has been read by 500k+ here)

 The next generation deeply cares about the impact and can see right through brands and companies that don't prioritize things like diversity, mental health, sustainability, and more. This keynote dives into ways to authentically build impact into your brand, including strategies for launching new initiatives, empowering your end user/community, and more. (see my work with Noah Schnapp from Stranger Things for his CPG brand TBH & Republic activation).
