The Art of Building Strong Relationships that Grow Your Business

Principally known for delivering business humor, Scott’s success has been built on the Power of Laughter and the Language of Business™.  And more importantly, it's been  driven by making it his business to know yours. He does deep dives into your organization, people, products and culture; and surfaces with custom content that provides fresh, funny perspectives on topics like teamwork, customer engagement, connecting, and more.

 As a corporate entertainer, comedian, author, and personal growth advocate, Scott draws from his personal and professional world to deliver a hilarious and insightful talk that illustrates the importance of connecting with colleagues, co-workers, and customers.

Using customized, identifiable content infused with humor and plenty of audience participation, Scott illustrates how the power of keeping it light AND personal can foster healthy, sustainable connections that can grow your business.

He leans heavily into his core comedic strength and purposefully deploys laughter as a way to maximize these lessons and the experience.

In short, the keynote is for and about the audience. And at its core, it provides a tailor-made, entertaining, feel-good, bonding experience that opens up audiences to receiving new ideas.  It allows them to laugh.  To trust. To relax. To take in the moment.  And it reminds them of why building relationships is so important.

To that end, harnessing both the power of laughter and the language of business, Scott employs lots of interactive tools to have the audience connect to him and with one another. They'll see and feel the relationships in the room progress and grow.  And they'll leave energized and incentivized to break out of their comfort zone and look at new ways of meeting people and networking.  New ways of collaborating and creating.

The keynote can serve as a perfect opener to set a buoyant and receptive tone for the general session. In the middle, it can work as an energy booster. And as a closing concept, it can serve to send off audiences energized and inspired.

Anywhere it's placed or any way you look at it, the content is tailored to the audience and for your business. It is seriously funny, and the ideas shared will no doubt impact your results as your teams learn to bond and grow through laughter.

A professional conference emcee, Scott has been hosting live conferences and events for the Fortune 1000 for decades. 

Principally known for delivering business humor, his success has been built on the power of laughter and the language of business.  And more importantly, it’s been driven by making it his business to know yours. He does deep dives into your people, products, buzzwords as well as acronyms and comes up with custom content that provides fresh, funny perspectives on topics like teamwork, leadership, customer engagement and more.

He’s also a master at manifesting insightful, interactive, laughter-packed experiences that keep audiences riveted and focused on your message.

As a master of awards ceremonies, Scott’s the quintessential, silver-tongued host who can lift the significance of the honor and broaden a winner’s smile. He’s a master at the mic with all the right stuff—moments of improv brilliance, creativity and charm.   He can make winners feel extraordinarily special.  And, equally important, he can make long, oft-time tedious ceremonies into uplifting experiences of celebration and fun that spill out and over the winners.  And the audience responds accordingly.

So whether you need a professional emcee, a world-class awards host, or an out-of-the-box guest speaker, Scott is the ideal choice for business meetings and events.  Discover a funny man who means business.  

Connect with Scott.

Each morning Scott will begin by welcoming the attendees to the general session and then proceed to warm up the audience (similar to warming up a television audience before a taping). Scott will open with a short comedic monologue and then segue into one of several interactive trivia games, such as “TV Theme Music Trivia” or “Show What you Know”.

STAND-UP MONOLOGUE
Scott will perform some comedy from his stand-up act -- sprinkled with “inside jokes” and customized material.

TV THEME MUSIC TRIVIA
Scott will divide the audience into two teams. After creating a rivalry between the two teams he will lead them in a friendly competition of TV Theme Music Trivia. Scott will stress the importance of teamwork. The audience will hear a series of classic TV theme songs from “TV’s Greatest Hits”. Each team will take turns identifying the TV tune and calling out the correct TV show title. This interactive game gets the audience pumped up and energized for a full day of presentations. Plus it’s a lot of fun!

“LET'S MAKE A DEAL” GENERAL TRIVIA
Scott will call on several volunteers in the audience and test their knowledge of humorous, general trivia questions. For their efforts, he will award them with cheap, silly gag gifts. Of course, Scott will offer to exchange these goofy prizes for “what’s in the bag” or “behind the curtain” … which usually results in the discovery of an even more ridiculous prize. These souvenir-type prizes are usually bought on-site at the hotel gift store. This interactive piece infuses a great sense of fun and energy into the start of a general session. We can also use this format for “Trivia Breaks” at various points throughout the day.

We all know the benefits of virtual meetings. They’re efficient and productive. They’re convenient and immediate. They offer worldwide access and opportunity.

But did we know that this powerful tool can be made exponentially more robust? They can. And should.

A virtual event comprised of only talking heads and PowerPoints can be mind-numbing. The nature of virtual allows for a million distractions. And attending multiple virtual meetings in a week, or simply sitting through lengthy broadcasts can cause Zoom fatigue.

On the other hand, a meeting with a professional virtual event emcee can be energizing, compelling and can keep an audience riveted to the screen and open to the content. It can boost interest and engagement and provide meeting continuity and consistency.

What’s more, it can set the tone for a meeting and cultivate an environment where viewers stay transfixed on the message and meeting purpose.

Adding a funny virtual emcee can provide interstitial moments of comic relief that can refresh an audience, particularly after statistical-laden presentations or complex subject matter. Humor lightens burdens, inspires hope, connects people to others, and keeps them grounded, focused and alert. And most importantly, it creates impressions and makes meetings memorable.

And that’s where Scott Bloom comes in. With years of professional in-person and television hosting experience, Scott is prepared to transfer his talent to your virtual events.

Not only does Scott understand the power of laughter and the language of business but as a virtual event emcee Scott can present in various program formats (live, pre-recorded or hybrid) for:

- Internal meetings
- Customer events
- User conferences
- Town Hall meetings
- Moderated round tables
- Award galas

Scott can also translate his on-stage work to virtual using familiar live-event techniques:

- Meeting openers
- Executive intros
- Seemless transitions
- Interview segments
- Interactive games
- Live Q&A sessions
- Event moderator

And he can do all of that from his professional home broadcast studio outfitted with high-end 4K camera, state-of-the-art audio and lighting, green screen, teleprompter and on-site technical director.

Working as a virtual moderator, Scott has learned what it takes to deliver an effective virtual presentation that engages your audience. To ensure that you’re equipped to make the most of your digital efforts, take a look at Scott’s best practices. They’re ridiculously entertaining. And they’ll most definitively help boost your confidence (well, maybe) so that you too can be more successful. Go ahead and laugh. Release those endorphins. It’s about time!

You don’t need to sacrifice the content of an in-person experience to achieve a successful virtual meeting. We’re all learning that it's a strategic combination of a superior platform, focused content, interactivity and a solid experience.

And to that end, Scott can turn on his broadcast personality and play it straight or play it funny. Or he can provide a powerful combo of both … all with the goal of delivering a more robust and memorable experience designed to keep the audience engaged and invigorated. To keep content moving and contiguous. And to keep the delivery of the information authentic.

It’s a challenging time – but we’ve got this!

Not only can Scott act as your virtual moderator but Scott has partnered with a great creative and technical team to produce and broadcast the entire show. Here’s a short highlights reel of a recent awards show produced wholly by Scott and his colleagues.

Broadcast to the US, Europe and Asia, our challenge was to design an engaging and entertaining program that would keep this worldwide audience tuned in. Gaming-quality graphics, a content-rich program, cool animations and game show breaks helped to make the roll call of 133 names lively, interesting, and electric! And I believe we delivered a virtual winner; all while working from our respective home studios in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Florida. What can we do for you?
