“As an attorney and professional consultant and speaker, I thoroughly enjoyed your article in today’s Attard Business Know How<\/em> newsletter. You’ve set out a concise and comprehensive handbook to creating, reviewing and delivering effective communications. Thanks for the article.” <\/p>\nTom MacMurray, USA<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We recently engaged Lee as a photographer for a Fella Hamilton brand fashion parade held at Living Choice Retirement Village, Fullarton in Adelaide and attended by 240 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee captured the mood of the event beautifully, with close ups and environmental portraits highlighting the grace and movement of the models, the colours and textures of the outfits, and excitement and delight of the audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would highly recommend Lee as a photographer at any fashion event.  <\/p>\nSharon Hamilton, CEO Fella Hamilton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

We engaged Lee as our photographer for a Sesame Street event at the Australian Space Discovery Centre in Adelaide. He was such a pleasure to work with \u2013 easy to communicate with, professional, passionate about the job, and the photos and video content that he produced were brilliant. I look forward to working with him again on future events, and would recommend him to anyone looking for an efficient, professional and personable photographer.<\/p>\nTamara Jenkins, Esencia Communications<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLee Hopkins has an exceptional ability to quickly demystify social media and identify which of its mediums are practical or perhaps more importantly impractical for specific businesses and sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether working with an individual or on a group level, Lee\u2019s presentation and training style blends valuable information, astute commercial insights, humour and practical examples to create understandable, memorable and motivating sessions for participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe essential foundation for a successful, cost effective social media strategy requires first understanding what you want to achieve by using the medium, then understanding each of the many variations (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Blogs, online Video, etc), their nature, \u2018golden rules,\u2019 benefits, risks and hidden costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLee is the perfect guide in these regards and I recommend him without hesitation as an asset to any organisation. His work with Raine & Horne SA has helped our group move rapidly to the forefront of effective social media use and marketing in Australia and I have yet to have a conversation with him that has not resulted in a valuable new insight that can be applied in any organisation for better commercial, marketing or communication results.\u201d

“Thoughtful, erudite communicator”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee began commenting on my PR podcast; soon, his manner and expertise led him to become our first correspondent. I love Lee\u2019s podcast, another symbol of his deep well of knowledge. His blog reaffirms my belief that he\u2019s one of the best communication tacticians in Australia or anywhere else. I\u2019ve already recommended him for speaking engagements and look forward to the day when we can work together.\u201d

“Engaging, Empowering, Empathetic”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis workshop was perfect for me. I think my knowledge was at the right level. Lee is an excellent presenter; over the course of the day he didn\u2019t lose my attention at all. The course was relevant, well structured, entertaining and informative\u201d

Ann Styles<\/strong>, Manager, Corporate Communications, Transurban<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWas pitched at the right level, started with a broad overview and gently took us into more detail. I feel re-energised from the course and look forward to sharing new ideas with my team, we have a lot of work to do. Really appreciated \u2018mental breaks\u2019 in the presentation\u201d

\n

\u201cAbout time I\u2019ve had a speaker who is loud and passionate about what they do. Content was great and presentation was entertaining. More speakers should learn how to present from Lee Hopkins. I\u2019ve come out with more ideas with Lee\u2019s knowledge and information which I can apply at my organisation\u201d

\n

\u201cHi Lee. Your presentation was great! Rating was 1.23 on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 was extremely effective and 5 was not at all effective.\u201d

\n

\u201cLee Hopkins has recently, for the second year, kindly provided a guest lecture for my Ethics course. This course concentrates on practical ethical dilemmas that students may well face when they graduate into one of several highly mediated industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital ethics is a vexed area, not only because we, collectively as a society are still working out what is right and wrong in this new world, but especially because the familiarity that most students have with that world makes it difficult for them to step outside their own reality and see the bigger professional picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee brings not just knowledge, but infectious enthusiasm and humour to his presentation that poses some hard questions without seeming too didactic for students who am, I\u2019m sure, pretty sick of being told about how scary and dangerous new media is by people who are not digital natives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very grateful for his lecture and the following tutes were exceptionally lively.\u201d

\u201cI met Lee Hopkins through social media: I heard his blog quoted on the Diary of a Shameless Self-Promoter podcast, and then heard his reports on the For Immediate Release podcast. It wasn\u2019t long after that, in September 2005, that we co-founded the Podcast Asylum \u2014 first as a joke, and then as a consulting consortium to provide help for people who were going crazy trying to keep up with Web 2.0. I\u2019ve followed Lee\u2019s blog, podcasts, videos, presentations, and research reports ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s a terrific presenter: funny, engaging, and instructive. He provides cogent arguments for the value of social media and social networking in corporations and education as well as the benefits of blogging, podcasting, Twitter, and Facebook for small businesses. He is conducting PhD research on virtual worlds and their serious uses for communication, business, and education, in addition to the effect of 3D environments like Second Life on human behavior. No interaction with Lee Hopkins is ever dull. He combines Aussie directness with zany energy, endless wit, and sharp insight, all the better to live up to his own maxim and \u201cCommunicate with Passion!\u201d\u201d

\n

“Creative, communicator, thinker”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee is a brilliant social media practitioner and instructor. He knows how to use social media genuinely and authentically to great business benefit. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s a natural in front of a crowd; his presentations are entertaining and enlightening \u2013 guaranteed engaging.\u201d
Glenn Murray<\/strong>, DivineWrite<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee Hopkins is a social media whiz! Never afraid of new tools, he is always the first to try out social media tools and report back on what is useful, what needs work, and what you can use right now to promote your business. He has experience in podcasting, Second Life, Twitter and of course has been blogging religiously for ages. He\u2019s a solid member of the social media community and a tireless marketer for all his clients (if you\u2019re lucky enough to be one!)\u201d
Heidi Miller<\/strong>, Diary of a Shameless Self Promoter<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee Hopkins is quite simply a master of social media, with a deep and broad understanding of where all the platforms and tools fit in the communication mix, both generally, as in how people communicate these days, and specifically, especially in terms of business communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often recommend to people who are a bit disconcerted by all the jargon and hype, and want to get a practical handle on what all this social media stuff is about, that they get hold of the latest edition of the white paper Lee produced in collaboration with Trevor Cook. It is instructive too that of all the Australians who could have been interviewed by US social media expert Shel Israel for his SAP Global Survey, Lee was the one chosen. In short, he knows that whereof he speaks and writes, he does that extremely well and he has the well deserved respect of his peers.\u201d
Des Walsh<\/strong>, Social Media Strategist, Des Walsh dot Com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee Hopkins exudes energy, enthusiasm, insight and passion for social media that is nothing short of contagious. Whether he\u2019s in second life or real life, online or offline, Lee\u2019s understanding of solid communication principles coupled with his grasp of the possibilities presented by social media create a powerful combination. A combination you want working for you.\u201d
Linda Johannesson<\/strong>, Strategist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee single handedly bought me into the 21st century. A must for anyone who wants to know more than their kids about social networking.\u201d
Kath McGowan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Articulate creative thinker”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee is an energetic and entertaining presenter and public speaker. I had the privilege of being on a panel with him recently and much admired his public speaking style. Of course, Lee is also a well known blogger in Public Relations and an all-round, well connected social media consultant.\u201d
Laurel Papworth<\/a><\/strong>, Founder, World Communities<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI had the pleasure of attending one of Lee\u2019s social media for business workshops. Lee takes you on a journey, shows you how social media\/networking can influence your customers or business, and helps you shape a plan to get started. Along the way there\u2019s a lot of insights to be gained and a lot of fun to be had!\u201d
Marnie Macdonald<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee has been floating around the Social Media space since the early days. I have always enjoyed his Podcast segments on For Immediate Release<\/em>. He\u2019s always clever, light-hearted and very passionate about how we communicate and how it is changing.\u201d
Mitch Joel<\/strong>, Host, Six Pixels of Separation<\/a> \u2013 The Twist Image Podcast<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee works with humour and energy. He \u2018gets stuff\u2019 \u2013 one doesn\u2019t need to spend a long time explaining the brief. Be prepared to think outside the box. In the bewildering world of communication and particularly, social media \u2013 Lee is your man.\u201d
Catriona Byrne<\/strong>, Director, SageCo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Perceptive, engaging, creative”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee knows social media as well as anyone on the planet. He not only is more than competent, but has a superb grasp of overall communications, and is wonderful person to interact and work with.\u201d
Ted Demopoulos<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> Owner, Demopoulos Associates<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI love Lee\u2019s work. He was social media long before I knew what social media was. And the best part \u2014 he\u2019s not into social media for its own sake, but because he truly understands how best to use various media \u2014 including social media \u2013 to further effective communication. I listen to his recommendations, whether in his blog or in person. Smart communicators will, too.\u201d

\u201cLee is a pioneer of social media marketing within Australia. While others have jumped on the bandwagon Lee helped build it from the ground up. With not only the knowledge but the inspiration and passion behind him Lee is a formidable professional force who has inspired countless others in the industry.\u201d

\n

“Considerate, thoughtful and passionate”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhen I entered the social media space a few years ago, I recall reading Lee\u2019s blog with earnest interest, intensely soaking up all he had to write and say. And to this day, I continue to do so. Why? Because in an era that continues to become saturated with social media \u201cexpertise\u201d, finding authorities can be difficult. To be frank, Lee is the real deal \u2013 and remains at the forefront of the conversation. He is one of the \u2018originals\u2019 in the Australian social media landscape \u2013 and I do not say that to simply indulge in rhetoric persuasion. It is a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn a personal level, my passion for this space is intricately tied in with his commitment to it. I am very thankful for that. I have never actually \u2018met\u2019 Lee, but, from a communications perspective, it shows one simple thing: he can connect. I have no doubt, he would be an enormous asset to any organisation. Plus, you will have the added benefit of having the collective minds, vast communities to tap into, as a result of his high-level participation in social media spheres. He is a good man \u2013 and a smart one at that.\u201d
Edward Harran<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> Digital and Social Media Strategist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a reason Lee is widely recognized as an expert in online communications and social media \u2014 he knows his stuff and is extremely adept at communicating his ideas with passion and humour. Having followed his blog and podcast, and having seen some of his writing-workshop materials, I can attest to his knowledge and competence in the field of communications.\u201d

\n

\u201cI worked with Lee earlier this year when Ark Group published his book \u2018Social Media: The New Communication Landscape\u2019. Given that we were working together from opposite sides of the world, it made a huge difference to be liaising with someone who was so reliably responsive. Despite some significant challenges during the process, Lee maintained good humour throughout and put 110% into the project.\u201d
Anna Shaw<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> Commissioning Editor, Reports, Ark Group<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI have worked with Lee Hopkins on a number of occasions. He has spoken for me at my events and has brought tremendous value to my attendees. His knowledge in the social media space is excellent since he lives and breathes his work. He is also a very dynamic, entertaining and more importantly educational speaker who can help anyone understand and get involved with social media.\u201d
Beth Etling<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> CEO, The Insight Exchange<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee is one of Australia\u2019s most knowledgeable, personable and creative consultants in the field of business communication and social media. When we hired Lee to lead several social media workshops and present at conferences, he consistently surpassed expectations and drew fantastic feedback from event attendees who described him as \u201cBrilliant\u201d, \u201cEngaging\u201d and described his work as \u201cOne of the best workshops I\u2019ve ever been to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPractically, Lee is also a superb writer and strategist, works to deadlines and produces content to a high standard, as evidenced by his existing written portfolio, his consultancy work, and reputation within the context of IABC. If I were in the position to hire someone on a full time basis to lead social media programs within a business, Lee would be the first person I\u2019d call.\u201d

\u201cAs a speaker, Lee and his alter ego in the guise of avatar \u2018Lee Laperriere\u2019 played a key role in making our virtual event in Second Life a success. Lee was well-researched, engaging and enthusiastic about the possibilities that virtual collaboration brings and his presentation showed that he had really thought about the needs of our audience\u201d
Helen Mitchell<\/strong>, Director of Knowledge Networks, CPA Australia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Lee since early 2005 through his regular contributions to the twice-weekly business podcast I co-present. The communication topics he contributes add major value to our show, clearly demonstrating that Lee knows a lot about business communication. It\u2019s a great pleasure working with you, Lee!\u201d
Neville Hobson<\/a>, ABC<\/strong>, leading UK Business Communication consultant<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee chaired a conference I was part of in March 2009. It was the first time I\u2019d met Lee in person after hearing him on podcasts and meeting him in Second Life. Lee has infectious energy, a self-deprecating sense of humour, and \u2013 pretty importantly \u2013 a deep knowledge of social media.\u201d
Simon Young<\/strong><\/a>, Cofounder and Creative Catalyst, iJump<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIn my experience, Lee seems to live and breathe social media and all its manifold technologies. In Australia, he\u2019s almost without peer in his generosity and willingness to share and spread his passion for social media-based communication solutions.\u201d

Lee is always right on top of the situation and gets things happening in a no-fuss manner. He\u2019s a pleasure to work with as you always know where you stand and you know he\u2019s working towards common goals: pleasing the client and getting the job done.\u201d
Brad Anderson<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> Owner, Graphic Media & Motor Media<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee moderated a panel at ad:tech where I was a panel participant. Lee was an intelligent, charming and effective moderator. He lead the audience and panel through a valuable and entertaining discussion of digital PR. He was one of the best panel moderators I\u2019ve worked with.\u201d

Chris Barron<\/strong>, Viva9<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLee hits the mark perfectly with this Twitter e-report. It is long on punchy facts, practical ideas and sound advice, and short on length so it won\u2019t take you ages to plough through. You\u2019ll be mastering Twitter in no time!\u201d
Trevor Young<\/strong>, PR warrior, ParkYoung<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis report is a MUST for those who are infatuated by the intuitive, far-reaching and anarchic nature of Twitter \u2014 but would secretly love to be comforted by a linear, step-by-step, hand holding friend who gives you lots of squeezes on the way. Well done Lee!\u201d

\u201cLee Hopkins was one of the key speakers at our very successful Affiliate and Performance Marketing conference \u2013 www.affiliatsyd.com<\/a> in Sydney on May 13th 2009. Lee embodies his own core values of Passion, Integrity and Consistency in the way he presents. A potent mix of \u2018Social Marketing Sage\u2019 and \u2018Mad Professor\u2019, I would recommend him to anyone as a speaker and consultant on social media and the future of online business communication\u201d

I\u2019m getting emails from all over the country congratulating me on this, and more importantly wanting to attend courses and discuss opportunities to work together. I\u2019m getting over a dozen emails a day that are business related and directly attributable to the blog.\u201d

“<\/a>Having worked around the world in many types of environments and organisations across creative and commercial media industries it is rare to find professionals who genuinely care about their work. When I met Lee he was presenting at a large marketing conference and struck me as someone with a deep and organic knowledge of the social media industry and particularly the impact it was having on the corporate sector. He is very personable and easy to get on with, but really understands corporate & business need and any organisation needing strategic direction in this space would do no wrong in working with Lee.”<\/a><\/p>\nGary Hayes, Multiplatform Producer, CEO MUVE<\/a> Design & Founder StoryLabs<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
