Select Testimonials

“Ken's true talent is the tailoring of his content to our audiences. We have invited him to speak at several different Red Bull events, and his content is always uniquely tailored to that audience and event theme and ‘on the money’ with our hot topics. He challenges each of us to think outside of the box, and is both an educational and inspirational presenter. His keynotes not only posed some tough questions about the future shape of our industry but he also linked this to the emerging consumer forces evident today. He is as entertaining, and engaging as he is challenging and not to be missed”

BRIAN KUZ GLOBAL HEAD OF TRADE MARKETING AND INSIGHTS, RED BULL

"Ken delivered a thought provoking and entertaining speech on the needs and desires of younger generations. The talk was highly appreciated by all our coaches and the post-event feedback we received has been outstanding."

DAVID GOUGH. UEFA

“Mr Hughes’ presentation at our ECAMS Aesthetic Medicine Congress was simply out-standing. His insight of consumer behaviour and application to the healthcare industry was astounding and left the delegates eager to address such issues in their businesses. A fast paced and really entertaining keynote speech that no conference organiser should do without”

DR PETER PRENDERGAST PRESIDENT ECAMS (EUROPEAN COLLEGE OF AESTHETIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY)

Ken is an energetic, thought-provoking speaker. I've had Ken speak at two Google events now and Ken has scored higher than any other speaker I've ever had before, lasting a longtime in the memories of the delegates

"As always, Ken delighted our delegates with his vision of the future in Boston. His energy and insight around consumer behavior, technology trends and how these intersect and will change society, consumer behavior and our industry were out-standing. This is one speech every business and brand should hear."

GRAEME COOKSLEY. SYMPHONY EYC

"It was a pleasure working with Ken on our conference. He brought the highest level of professionalism and fun! Feedback from the delegates on his element was extremely positive, simply brilliant. He really does have a unique skill, inspiring and engaging."

JOANNE CHARLES. CISCO TECHNOLOGY

"We have had a number of other presentations on this topic previously but none approached the subject as Ken did. The way in which he brought the millennial consumer to life for the leaders of our business in this keynote speech was as challenging and informative as it was entertaining. This is a must-see speech for anyone in financial services, a real eye-opener"

JOHN KEEGAN DIRECTOR OF DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AT BANK OF IRELAND

"Ken's presentation made delegates laugh and cry and laugh again. His easy story-telling style meant that delegates were not only engaged throughout but also left with some real thought-provoking content. We are already planning on inviting him back!"

KRISTI KAWANNA EVENTS DIRECTOR, G3 COMMUNICATIONS NEW YORK

"Ken was perfect for our ‘Power of Positive CX' congress, really opening the attendee's minds to the possibilities. His style is so engaging that the audience were left buzzing and it really set up the rest of the day for us. If you are looking for a keynote that delivers on CX, this is it."

MARCUS HALL. WORLDPAY

As a B2B brand we needed to stay relevant and connected with our customers during this time. Ken was the first person we thought about approaching and the webinar series he delivered has had such strong feedback. Sessions sold out way beyond our expectations and delegates stayed engaged far longer than we had ever hoped. It was entertaining, informative, and had all the usual magic and sparkle that Ken delivers onstage

MICROSOFT

"Ken's speech at both our US and European CX events really excited delegates for the need to better engage with the new consumer and get personal and experiential. As a speech it was relevant, insightful as well as great fun. An ideal mix."

He delivers every time."
