  Speaker: Matt Harlow
  Topic: Chasing Women 

  Helping a company’s brand to worm its way into a consumer’s heart is a lot like trying to woo a member of the opposite sex. Harlow will roll a career’s worth of marketing (and even longer chasing women) into a one-hour talk that will help marketers make consumers love their brands as much as a suitor wants to be loved himself.
  

  
  

   Matt Harlow has spent his entire professional life helping companies project the best possible brands to their prospects and live up to their brands for their customers.  He's been involved in the American Advertising Federation since college and has served at the local, district and national levels in the organization as a professional.  He has spoken to advertising and marketing organizations across America and taught several college advertising classes.
  

   
  "I'm one of the luckiest people I know. I love what I do. I love the feeling when research on a new market or a product line clicks into place and it all makes sense. I enjoy the planning and the strategy and helping my clients solve their problems and increase sales." said Matt, "I started teaching and speaking help pay back the profession I love".
   
  Matt has a BAs in Marketing and Adverting as well as an MBA from The Ohio State University.  He has been in agency account service since 1987 and never regretted a minute of it!
