Shawna Suckow

Most marketing makes customers yawn. Shawna Suckow knows why--and how to fix it.

For 15 years, Shawna was the decision-maker brands were chasing. As a multi-million-dollar corporate buyer, she witnessed thousands of pitches, promotions, and follow-ups. That insider perspective turned into her obsession: decoding what actually works in modern marketing vs. what just wastes time and trust.

Customers don't want more noise. They want relevance. Connection. Humanity. Shawna helps small businesses bridge the gap between what they think customers want to hear and what actually motivates today's distracted, skeptical buyers. She speaks at the intersection of consumer behavior and modern loyalty, blending real-world insight with a signature style that's part data, part "a-ha," and all heart. Whether B2B or B2C, she shows you how to stand out, build trust, and stay unforgettable...no big budget or big team required.

Today, she travels the world as a speaker and consultant, helping businesses ditch the "Blandscape" and show up in ways that actually matter. Her goal? When it comes time to buy, she wants YOU to be the obvious choice. Shawna has earned the highest designation a speaker can achieve (CSP© - like a Masters in public speaking). Her parents are very proud that one of her books was recognized by Forbes as one of the top 6 marketing books of the year. Her proudest achievement: she successfully launched both kids out of the house.

Three memorable things about Shawna:

1) She once played in the World Series of Poker Main Event.

2) Her first car was a neon orange 1972 Volkswagen Beetle that caught on fire on her way to school.

3) She once did a (terrible) turkey call for the Jimmy Kimmel audience.
