“To sum it up: educational, funny, informative, motivational, cutting edge.”

“Brett did a really great job of taking a rather daunting subject, and making it relevant and interesting to everyone in the room. I, for one, treat the web like the plague, but hopefully now I won’t be so afraid of it!”

“Even if you are a web designer, you will come away from Brett Derricott’s presentation Moving Beyond Brochure Sites with information you can apply to your own business. The presentation was informative as well as entertaining.”

“When the announcement came that a Web programmer was the ad club’s featured speaker for October, I planned to attend but expected the topic would have little to do with my professional pursuits. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Brett’s presentation was a delightful mix of information, entertainment, and new awareness. His demonstration on how, with quality programming, matters of style can be attended and re-attended to with ease, was eye-opening. His discussions on compliance and accessibility brought to the forefront several issues I suspect many creatives fail to consider. And his relevance in the industry paved the way for us to update our thinking about spiders, search engines, and how best we can service our clients’ needs with content — information I began applying for my clients immediately. This was top-notch stuff. Thanks Brett! ”

“Brett’s presentation was entertaining, informative, and stacked full of valuable information about hands-on tools. The best part was that he spoke in a manner that could be understood, even with our limited web knowledge.”

“Derricott’s presentation, Moving Beyond Brochure Sites, provided key instructions related to mobile devices and their ever-growing presence. Not only was it information we had never heard, it was presented in an entertaining and well-designed format. He gets my highest recommendation.”

American Advertising Federation, Baton Rouge

“Business Report has worked to stay on the leading edge of business-to-business e-newsletter delivery. We thought we were keeping up with all of the trends and latest capabilities. We’ve even designed special versions of our e-newsletter e-mails that was formatted for mobile delivery. But we’d never even thought about our sites themselves.

Brett showed us the light. And that he gave real solutions for businesses, for agencies to offer their clients, for agencies to use themselves – solutions that address real budget and time constraints – made this the best lunch I’ve had in a long time.”

Marielle Land Howard
Senior Account Executive,
Baton Rouge Business Rep

“Brett was a wonderful, engaging speaker and I enjoyed his presentation. It’s nice to see someone who can hold the attention of a tough audience! As a board member, I recommend him to any other board member who wants to make sure their members leave the luncheon please with time well spent.”
