Building Brand Loyalty & Memorable Experiences
With each new launch the hysteria around the ‘Johnny Cupcakes’ brand continues to conquer the globe. The reaction goes from 10 block queues as anxious fans await for the shop to open to Cupcake tattoos, yes, permanent ones. In this awe-inducing presentation Johnny will educate you on how you too can create a wave of loyalty and obsession around your products, your business and within your teams through the power of social media & experiential branding.
Example Quotes: "I don't sell merchandise, I sell memories. My merchandise is the byproduct," "If you want customer loyalty, you must be loyal to your customers," “Humans thrive off of new experiences,” and "People have too many options, why will they choose you?"
Optional Add-ons: Custom collaboration T-shirts with Johnny Cupcakes' signature pastry box packaging, pop-up shop experience, creative consulting, and/or vinyl DJ set for an after party or networking event.
Reimagining Marketing & Sales
Johnny touches on why one handwritten note, personalized gift, or a community event could be more powerful than a cold email campaign to strangers. Johnny shares examples of how adding a dash of imagination and extra detail can drive a chunkier return on investment when it comes to marketing and sales, like when he rented a real coffin and hearse from a creepy guy on Craigslist to get delivered in for the nighttime release of his limited edition, VHS-packaged, Halloween movie themed T-shirts. This $220 vehicle rental attracted lifetime memories, created brand ambassadors, and garnered millions in free marketing as channel 4 news dedicated an entire segment to this release.
Example Quotes: “Don’t check boxes, create new boxes to check”, "Achieve free digital marketing through delighting customers", and "It's not about B2B or B2C, it's about H2H—Human to Human."
Optional Add-ons: Custom collaboration T-shirts with Johnny Cupcakes' signature pastry box packaging, pop-up shop experience, creative consulting, and/or vinyl DJ set for an after party or networking event.

With utter conviction and complete passion Johnny will talk leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and sales teams through the lessons he has learned on his journey to global domination – and arm them with easy to apply strategies for making their dreams a reality.
