Copy/Paste Bio:

Jay Acunzo helps business leaders become stronger storytellers. After starting his career in media and marketing roles at Google and HubSpot, Jay authored the book about creative decision-making, Break the Wheel, and cofounded the mastermind for business storytellers, the Creator Kitchen. An early advocate for creativity and craft in content marketing, clients like Salesforce, GoDaddy, Wistia, and Drift turn to Jay to develop their most visible creative projects, while LinkedIn’s editors named his show Unthinkable a “must-listen” for marketers. Jay is a proud New England resident, a troubled Knicks fan, and an obsessive grilled pizza chef. His grandest aspiration (though he’d say delusion) is to be the Anthony Bourdain of the business world.

Here’s Why haley hired Jay when the stakes were highest

Haley’s $2B global brand client decided to hold their first-ever customer conference — and they tapped her to find a speaker. She turned to Jay for the opening keynote and a book signing. By the end of the day, she had referred Jay to a second client.

“Jay was every meeting planner’s dream come true.”

“Attendees as well as the leadership team kept commenting over and over on how meaningful and memorable Jay’s session was! I very much appreciated how customized his session was to our very diverse audience.

His message had relative takeaways for everyone in attendance.His genuine appreciation for our team and his excitement at being part of our event was remarkable. Jay was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We loved him so much, we are already booking him for another client!”

“Oh my gosh…

I know it’s only the start of the conference, but today’s keynote is so moving! I’ve attended a lot of conferences but I’ve never been moved to tears before! Really compelling!”
