Erica Kessler – International LinkedIn Keynote and Social Media Marketing Speaker

About Erica Kessler

Erica Kessler is an inspiring Swiss entrepreneur with a global network. She shares her powerful energy, connects with the audience and inspires so that the audience takes immediate action. She shares the latest trends, best practices, tips and tricks about LinkedIn and social media marketing.

Just five years ago, Erica only used Facebook but rarely shared anything—but then she then began using LinkedIn, added connections from people she knew in person and began sharing her social media stories both online and offline.

On March 2015, Erica participated at the Social Media Marketing World in San Diego and connected with the industry leaders and her peers in person. She loved it so much and came back a few months later to learn all about LinkedIn Marketing and bring it to her hometown of Switzerland.

 Erica’s goal is to inspire people that underestimate LinkedIn to take action with their career, business and their lives with LinkedIn Marketing.

She then began speaking at startup events and was then invited to be a guest speaker at the HSG, University of St. Gallen and Northern Switzerland.

She also spoke to more than 100 Human Resources and Headhunters about LinkedIn Marketing and how to attract talent while helping entrepreneurs position themselves and gain clients online.

Her goal is to inspire people that underestimate LinkedIn to take action with their career, business and their lives.

Erica is also focused on building bridges between Switzerland and the United States. It’s her purpose to expand her insight globally by sharing her experiences on stage.
