Keynote Speeches: Lively Inspiration, Motivation, and Immediate Takeaways
Roger was an absolutely fantastic keynote speaker for our conference and provided the audience with excellent insights and creative thinking… Roger received exceptional feedback from the audience on his presentation with people describing it as “inspiring”, “exciting” and “a highlight of my day”. I would highly recommend Roger as a keynote speaker for any event.

Do you need a keynote speaker that your attendees will remember? Are they looking for a quickly forgotten hour of entertainment, or real knowledge that will change their businesses and lives? Roger’s keynotes show audiences proven methods based on science to get more customers, and, even more important, increase loyalty and reduce churn.
Roger Dooley speaks at conferences and corporate events around the world where the audience wants to understand their customers, build stronger brands, and sell more effectively. Every keynote is based on these principles:
- Your audience must be engaged and entertained.
- Your attendees must take away real ideas they can apply immediately.
When these two conditions are met, your attendees feel like they have received real value and are much more likely to return to your conference and recommend it to others.
Roger provided a great experience for the audience and my team. He was the best speaker at the Summit, and gave a lot of practical advice. I was impressed by Roger’s in-depth knowledge of both neuromarketing and marketing in general.

Keynotes
A typical keynote is 45 to 60 minutes and is prepared specifically for the needs of each audience. Excellent visuals are used to engage (and occasionally amuse) the audience and underscore key points.
While many engagements are private events, conferences that are open to additional attendees can be exposed to Roger’s 50,000+ audience of subscribers and fans.
Roger did a stellar job introducing our audience to the fascinating field of neuromarketing. He obviously knows his stuff and struck a perfect balance by making the topic interesting and accessible without sacrificing any credibility. He takes a very pragmatic approach to a topic that’s all-to-often over-hyped and sensationalized. I would highly recommend both the topic and the speaker for any conference or event touching on the intersection of science and marketing.

Keynote Topics
Each keynote is customized for the audience and the goals of the session. It’s important that the takeaways (there will be many!) are concepts that can be applied by the audience members after the event. Some typical keynote themes include:
Neuromarketing: How to Engage Your Customer’s Non-conscious Mind
Brainfluence for Business: B2B Customers are Human, Too
Neuro-CX: Brand Experience and Your Customer’s Brain
Frictionless: Future-Proof Your Customer Experience
Frictionless: Customer Experience Principles of The World’s Most Disruptive Companies
Frictionless Culture: The “Easy” Path to Engaged Employees and Loyal Customers
Workshops and briefings
To take the ideas from a keynote and put them into practice takes more time and interaction. Roger also offers workshops and executive briefings for smaller groups. These are customized for your needs and priorities. All workshops are based on science and research, but are focused on highly practical problem solving and behavior change. Common themes include:
- Increasing customer acquisition and loyalty by non-conscious marketing techniques.
- Taking the friction out of your customer experience to build true and lasting loyalty.
- Improving employee engagement by process simplification and minimizing friction.
Roger also offers completely personalized one-to-one briefing and coaching sessions.
