Bio
Brittany Bonnicksen
I had the opportunity to work with Barb at one of our Chamber events as she was our guest speaker discussing LinkedIn for business use. We previously had a speaker lined up that backed out at the last minute and had asked Barb in an untimely fashion to step in to do the presentation. She of course, was happy to take on the opportunity. Right as I had asked Barb to present, LinkedIn had completely changed everything about the platform leaving her with creating an entirely new presentation. She was easy to work with, quick to respond, and would highly recommend her to any business to use her for her LinkedIn presentation. Her presentation itself was outstanding and our members really seemed to learn something new and thoroughly enjoyed it. She was a dynamic speaker, keeping it light and fun but most importantly educational. I would HIGHLY recommend connecting with Barb for speaking opportunities or anything in regards to her expertise in Digital & Mobile Marketing. It’s been a pleasure working with Barb and look forward to working with her in the future!
