Learn How Harley-Davidson Built a Fanatically Vocal and Loyal Customer Base at MURTEC

Ken Schmidt, former Director of Communications Strategy for Harley-Davidson Motor Co., will deliver the opening keynote for MURTEC 2020 on March 9, Make Some Noise: Open The Throttle & Dominate Your Marketplace.

He will rev up MURTEC attendees' engines on how businesses of any size and scope can — by focusing on understanding and harnessing the most basic drivers of human behavior — improve their competitiveness and avoid margin-killing commoditization in even the most difficult marketing environments.  Schmidt says the road to building a fanatically vocal customer base, creating a passionately loyal corporate culture, and developing leaders who inspire and motivate starts here.   

This is a not-to-be missed session for hoteliers looking to thrive in today’s uber competitive environment.  

Schmidt challenges audiences to consider what they are willing to do today that is different than what they did yesterday, for the people who can, can put them out of business tomorrow.

Schmidt is a brand visionary. Since 1985, he’s been associated with Harley-Davidson; he played a pivotal role in resurrecting the legendary brand, taking it from the brink of ruin to global dominance. 

Now semi-retired, Schmidt provides brand-building expertise to businesses around the world.  Harley-Davidson remains his primary business partner and his strongest passion. 

In addition to building a fanatically vocal customer base, Schmidt will share details about his enviable life. He’s toured the world on two wheels, met with presidents and royalty, and partied with movie stars and music legends – all while getting paid.
