Pubcon, the premier social media, digital marketing, and search conference, is happy to announce that social media strategist Scott Monty, founder and chief executive at Scott Monty Strategies and former global head of social media at Ford Motor Company, will present a major keynote address during Pubcon Las Vegas 2016.
Scott Monty Strategies is a consultancy for brands and agencies on communications and marketing strategy, influencer management, the customer experience, and digital transformation initiatives.
Monty was ranked by The Economist as number one atop the list of 25 Social Business Leaders and by Forbes as one of the top 10 influencers in social media. Alan Mulally, the CEO of Ford Motor Company, called him “a visionary.”
“It’s always great to meet like-minded individuals, but at the same time, there’s nothing like sharing and listening to different perspectives? to help broaden our thinking,” Monty said. “I can’t wait to do just that at Pubcon Las Vegas 2016,” Monty added.
Monty’s “The Full Monty” has been called “the most indispensable newsletter in marketing.”
From 2008-2014, Monty was global head of social media at Ford Motor Company, advising activities across the company, from influencer relations to marketing support, customer service to internal communications. With another decade of experience in communications and marketing agencies, Monty has advised clients that include IBM Healthcare & Life Sciences, Coca-Cola, American Airlines, T-Mobile, and GE Software, among others.
Monty is a member of the board of directors of the American Marketing Association and an advisor for RPM Ventures, Crowd Companies, My Dealer Service and Clever Girls. He’s been featured in hundreds of news and business publications in print and on the Web, in dozens of books, and on a variety of mainstream media, including NBC, NPR, CNN and The Wall Street Journal. Monty is a recognized thought leader in the digital world, and will be presenting his first Pubcon keynote.
In addition to his professional responsibilities, Monty is an active blogger and podcaster. He writes about issues in communications, advertising, marketing, technology and leadership at ScottMonty.com and also writes and co-hosts “I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere,” a news site dedicated to Sherlock Holmes.
Monty received his Master’s in Medical Science from Boston University’s School of Medicine concurrently with his MBA from BU’s Graduate School of Management. He lives in Michigan with his wife and two young sons, golfs all too infrequently, and has a hidden talent for voice-over work.
Monty is among the most respected figures in social media, and during his Pubcon Las Vegas 2016 keynote he’ll share his always insightful take on the industry.
“Pubcon Las Vegas 2016 attendees can look forward to social media strategist Scott Monty presenting a powerful and insightful industry keynote this October 10 – 13 at the Las Vegas Convention Center,” Pubcon founder and chief executive Brett Tabke said.
