• As an event planner, I have the opportunity to place many different types of speakers on various industry
programs. Rarely do I encounter a speaker of the caliber of Mel Taylor. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in
and well-prepared for his subject matter, he is also a very entertaining speaker and a pleasure to work with. He is
an asset to any program. Marsha Stoltman; America East Conference

• Refreshing, easily understandable & entertaining….for managers and sales reps! I am recommending Mel for
future events that educate local businesses about online marketing, as well as online sales training initiatives for
traditional media execs. Tara Cleary; New England New Media Association
• Mel, Thank you so much for helping Clear Channel Philadelphia take 100% share of the “Cirque Du Soleil” Theatre
buy. $60 thousand dollars for us! Your “integrated marketing approach” blew the client away. We even took
$10,000. of their print budget ! The client said they were VERY impressed with your presentation and program,
….and they don’t impress easily ! Tara Kelly, Clear Channel Radio
• Mel Taylor has sold new media for newspapers, radio and television, and knows what it takes to get past low
CPM’s and remnant ads. We hired Mel Taylor Media at WTEN in Albany and saw immediate benefits. In addition
y y
to innovative internet training and development for our sales team, Mel worked closely with the news director and
web developer. Our site now looks better and is more appealing to our advertisers as well as our viewers. The
best part: revenue is up. Mike Sechrist, WTEN Television, Albany, NY
