Testimonials
Tamara is wonderful. Simple as that. She is one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve met in areas like AI, robotics, IoT, big data, wearables, cyber security and a host of other emerging technology. She recently delivered a brilliant keynote at my Convergence event in Sydney. She had the audience enthralled from the very start and was very well received. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback about her very visual and engaging presentation. I would highly recommend Tamara to any event or conference organisers looking for a top level keynote speaker. And as an added bonus Tamara is also a wonderful human being.

– CEO, CEO and Founder at QSP- Consultoria de Marketing
Tamara and I first met online years ago, having connected on various social media platforms, and as I always enjoyed our online interactions, it was extra special to find out that she was going to be speaking at the 2018 Digital Business World Congress in Madrid, Spain, as one of our Digital Titans on our main stage, and I say “our” because it was my honor to be her Master of Ceremonies! Tamara was a breath of fresh air on and off stage. I particularly appreciated – and I know I’m not the only one, having heard the same from many of our main auditorium attendees, how skillfully she created a relationship with her audience and then expertly delivered her session content. It was a pleasure to meet Tamara in real life, as well as work and share the stage with her, and I hope our paths cross again soon.
– Keynote Speaker,
Since 2007, the Digital Age Summit, in Istanbul, has attracted a strong response from the digital and marketing communities in the region. This year’s event, held at the Four Season Bosphorus, attracted over 1,000 visitors in a day, with about 1,150 communications leaders attending our keynote presentations.
Tamara McCleary came to our attention due to her global reputation as a thought leader in Digital Marketing and Innovation. Tamara McCleary consistently appears on lists of the leading thought leaders in Innovation and Digital Marketing.
Tamara McCleary provided talk on ”The Future of Trust: Convergence of Human” and Machine and a 45 minutes seminar about ”The 3 Keys to Innovative B2B Social Media Marketing”, Tamara, a social media influencer herself, succeeded in commanding the attention of our audience and receiving an enthusiastic response to her presentation. Her attendance as a speaker also generated added interest in our event and provided our attendees with cutting-edge insights.
I strongly recommend Tamara McCleary – as she is best known – as a keynote speaker. She can be counted upon to connect with her audience and deliver a presentation that will provide actionable insights on digital marketing and emerging technologies.
Our sincerest thanks to Tamara McCleary who served so graciously one of our keynote speakers at this year’s Digital Age Summit 2018.
– Business Development Executive at Kapital Medya, Kapital Medya
Over my 25 year career I have dealt with a wide range of interviewers and speakers in my marketing and market analyst roles. Tamara is rare in that she can engage an audience broadly with a clear, memorable point. But she can also extract details in a one-on-one interview that makes the subject comfortable and open to revelation.
– Founder & Principal, Magellan Group
The first time I met Tamara McCleary, she gave me a big hug and started chatting with me like we’d known each other our whole lives. We met at the massive CES conference in Las Vegas and as we attended events together, I watched Tamara greet new friends like they were old friends and old friends like they were just who she had been waiting to see. That’s just how she is – warm, familiar, giving, and attentive. Her sincerity never wavers.
Since our first meeting, I’ve had the pleasure of watching Tamara speak in a couple different settings. In an intimate setting, Tamara deftly shares her point of view while also encouraging those around her to do the same. She feels more like a discussion participant rather than a discussion leader, which was exactly what the situation calls for. Her comments are always thought provoking and conversation stimulating. She’s the opposite of a diva.
Tamara is in her element on stage in front of a large audience. Every set of eyes in the room is locked on her as she tells us that we don’t have to be satisfied with the status quo – that we can be successful without sacrificing our personal lives along the way. Her persona on stage is exactly as she is in real life – warm, funny, inspirational and authentic. Though her message is simple, her impact is profound.
– Senior Community Manager, The CMO Club
I have known Tamara for several years now. We met at a CMO Club event where she interviewed me for their on-air broadcast. I have been interviewed many times including numerous times for national television news and I was immediately struck by Tamara’s charisma, professionalism, insight and compassion. We connected on social media and I have found her to be one of the nation’s leaders in engagement. I look forward to anytime she engages one of my posts since it usually results in a viral social media event. Many people dubiously claim powerful social media, but Tamara is the the real deal.
Just recently I was at another CMO Club event where Tamara was a selected speaker. I found it interesting that she was selected to speak to a group of 200+ CMO’s since her speech wasn’t on marketing. I wondered if her presentation was going to be well-received.
Tamara captivated the room with her visually appealing, meaningful, spiritual and motivational discussion on Work-Life Balance (or the fallacy of that concept). For me her presentation was the most meaningful of the 2 day convention. It’s the one that had the most positive affect on me and the one I still think about regularly today. I believe most of the other CMO’s in attendance would agree as judged by my discussions I had with them after her speech.
Any organization would be both wise and lucky hire Tamara as a presenter. She is at the top of any “best speaker” list.
– President, Unique Photo, NJ’s Camera Superstore
I have had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Tamara speak on several occasions — her content is meaningful and actionable, her delivery is warm and genuine and this gives her the ability to engage and connect with her audience. Highly recommend!
– President, Business Marketing Association
Tamara’s succinct and highly relevant message of the universal aspiration for business/life integration was very important and meaningful to our audience of marketing leaders. Tamara left me wanting to learn more about how to best tap the power we possess to achieve our goals, and “lose the clutter”. An old message presented with a new twist, Tamara, an excellent speaker, had us leaning in to learn more.
