Curtis Midkiff
Biography

During my career, which has spanned more than two decades, I have held diverse marketing, advisory, and senior level digital and social leadership roles defining social media strategy, communication, and marketing solutions for three global organizations. My efforts have resulted in enhanced revenue, market share growth, and expanded brand awareness. I have worked closely with senior corporate leadership and stakeholders across these organizations to optimize online delivery and execute targeted social influencer strategies.

As a results-driven leader, I leverage my business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and subject matter expertise to initiate effective practices and successfully employ business intelligence to forecast trends and identify opportunities for new business development. I inspire each member of my team to pursue a passion for excellence, implement best practices, and apply the highest levels of integrity across all business dealings.

In addition, to my substantial career experience, my credentials include a Master's degree in Political Management, subject matter expertise in employing emerging platforms in the social space for publishing, data analytics, and reporting, serving as an Advisory Board Member for BWG Strategy, and editor and contributor to the publication "A Necessary Evil: Managing Employees on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Hundreds of Other Social Media Sites."

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to some of the most common questions about booking Curtis Midkiff for your event.

How do I book Curtis Midkiff for my event?

Booking Curtis Midkiff with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:

Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
