- Working with Brad over the past eight years and witnessing his incisive thinking and brilliant business mind has spiraled him to the top of a very competitive industry. His ability to communicate what he knows in simple yet powerful ways, clearly makes him a leader in his chosen industry.
Executive Sports & Entertainment - Brad Seymour has presented for one of our key clients - Storage King - at their National Conference. The focus was marketing and franchise operations and, having such a successful background like Brad does, he really understood the audience because he'd experienced it. He'd started from scratch and built an empire with all the same challenges that my client had faced at Wizard Home Loans. He was engaging, effective and had the audience related to his presentation. I'd definitely look to use him again for other clients.
DCB Advertising and Communications - At a time when I was looking for a a professional individual to speak with my sales team of approximately 50 people I looked no further than Brad Seymour. Brad has had an extraordinary career not only building businesses but leading by example within them. Within a company of driven employees he's a major motivating force and guiding influence to the team.
On the occasion Brad addressed Nine Network staff he took the time to not only discuss my brief prior to meeting, he went further to familiarise himself with our department and the people within it. When it came to meeting the team he was engaging, entertaining and throughout, focused in the delivery of a positive message. He identified clearly with the team showing empathy and respect resulting in a rare rapport for someone they'd just been introduced to.
Brad's ability to use his own professional and personal experience to get the group talking and feeling comfortable with him was an outcome I did not expect. I will certainly draw on him again in the future.
