Rather than keynote speeches Mark specializes in interviews and facilitating conversations with your audiences.
For marketing: When you feature your clients, potential clients and marketing partners at events and in your online content you create meaningful, profitable relationships faster and they become more than “connections”. They become ambassadors for your organization.
For internal use: Bringing your team together to focus on solving problems and creating opportunities brings them closer together and your company benefits from getting new results.
When you build and foster meaningful relationships with your team and your network your business can thrive.
The events and content can be added to an existing marketing program or can be the center of a new, customized marketing strategy.
ONE80 Event Examples
FIRESIDE CHAT EVENTS
No PowerPoint, no 45-minute-speeches. These are interactive events with the audience participating throughout the entire event.
Examples of past events:
Example 1: Creating Meaningful Marketing Experiences, A Fireside Chat With The C-Suite
Example 2: How Startups Can Create Pivotal Mentoring Relationships
MASTERMIND GROUPS
When you want more intimate events these are what you’re looking for. Stand alone events are designed for individual or multiple groups of 4-8 people sharing advice, support and connections for problems they bring to the table. These can also serve as breakout events for conferences. The groups can also meet virtually using a video conferencing service.
Examples of past events:
Example 1: Group Mentoring with Mark Carter
Example 2: Bagels & Coffee: Not Another Pitch Session
IMPROV + BUSINESS EVENTS
A REAL break from the “usual events”. These blend improv exercises with fireside chats. People are on their feet learning throughout the event. Instead of just “fun improv actvities” EVERY activity’s application in business is clearly explained. Everyone leaves with strategies to start using the same day.
Examples of past events:
Example 1: How Startups Can Use Improv For Pitches, Networking and Storytelling
Example 2: Blending Business Strategy With Improv Skills: Connecting Creatives

“Mark Carter facilitates a Master Mind group and I am a member of the group. The way Carter has structured the group has led to me projecting my business to sell within 5 years at 3 times the original projections, it has led to me getting connected to potential buyers, and helped me discover a funding opportunity to scale my business that I would have never found without the structure of the group.
This is a highly valuable offer and a terrific investment.”

“Mark did an excellent job of facilitating a “fireside chat” format event for us at the Illinois chapter of the National Speakers Association. He had a good command of the room, and had excellent instincts as to audience control vs. prepared questions of his own.
Mark serves as a marketing co-chair with us at National Speakers Association of Illinois, and has proven to be very valuable to us as a contributor to our mission”

“Mark’s ability to bring people together and facilitate productive, open communication cannot be under estimated.
He exudes confidence but in a calming way which makes the process stress free and uber-productive.
When Mark is facilitating a panel, mastermind group, interview, podcast or face to face conversation things “simply” fall into place and flow naturally. Mark’s gift benefits all who come in contact with him and who are privileged enough to work with him.”
