MARKETING,
BRANDING, and
CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Watch Shawna for a sampling of her expertise
The "B.S.-o-Meter" is at an All-Time High—
Are You Ready for It?
Today’s consumers are savvier, more skeptical, and harder to impress than ever before. In fact, 98% of people distrust businesses more than they did a decade ago (according to Shawna’s own research). If your organization isn’t adapting to this shift, you’re already falling behind.
​
That’s where Shawna Suckow comes in. As a seasoned marketing and consumer behavior expert, she doesn’t just share theories—she brings real-world insights, backed by data, into how today’s consumers think, decide, and buy. Her powerful keynotes blend humor, deep expertise, unique engagement methods, and actionable takeaways that leave audiences inspired and equipped to return to work and implement fresh, impactful strategies that really work.

What Makes Shawna Different?
​
🔹 Shawna spent 15 years as a corporate buyer overseeing millions of dollars of spend. She was marketed AT daily, which led her to write her first book. Six books (including one recommended by Forbes as a top marketing read of the year) and 13 years later, Shawna shares real consumer insights (both B2B and B2C), not just hype: She goes beyond generic trends and digs into real-world data on trust, buying behavior, and decision-making psychology.
🔹 Engaging & Entertaining: Shawna delivers high-energy, interactive sessions that keep audiences engaged from start to finish. She speaks with her audience, not at them. She spends a good amount of time in the audience interacting with participants as they learn.
🔹 Not Just Theory & Ideas: Participants don’t just leave motivated—they leave with a clear roadmap of what to do next. The real business value is measured by what is actually implemented.
🔹 Custom-Tailored Content: She doesn’t do cookie-cutter keynotes. 80% of her insights apply to any industry that has customers; the other 20% she researches deeply and customizes to fit each audience. Shawna researches your industry, your challenges, and your audience to bring an experience that is highly relevant and immediately applicable.

Marketing Mosaic
Forget the tired old marketing playbook. In the midst of today's consumer revolution, we need a new strategy that stands out, builds trust, and drives real results.. Instead of relying on one perfectly polished message, we’re flipping the script—mixing engaging content, storytelling, sales strategy, and trust-building techniques to create a Marketing Mosaic that makes people want to do business with you.

Personal Brand Mosaic for Sales Pros
When 98% of prospects don't trust businesses, we have to humanize the front line more than ever. Sales today is all about trust, credibility, and real connections that lead to repeat business and referrals. You can't do any of that, though, unless you can break through the noise. The best sales professionals create a personal brand that makes them memorable, trustworthy, and the go-to person in their industry. Without it, we risk being commoditized and competing just on price (or worse yet, being completely ignored).

Customer Journey Mosaic
This isn’t customer service—it’s customer experience reimagined. What are your customers telling you? What are they not telling you? Through eye-opening exercises and real-world examples, you’ll see firsthand where experience gaps are costing you business—and how to fix them. You’ll walk away with a strategy you can implement immediately. This session has the practical tools to elevate your client experience and grow your business.

-
Marketing & Sales Teams who need to cut through the noise and build trust with skeptical consumers.
-
Event Planners looking for a memorable, high-energy session delivered in a transformational format.
-

-
Associations & Conferences that want to give their attendees game-changing strategies to stay ahead.
