"Elkhorn Marketing Group crushed it in Austin, TX. They provided a leadership kickoff dinner that brought energy to our team. In my six years as a Managing Partner, their Network Office Day Keynote was one of the top speaking experiences I have seen. We also had them spend time with our career advisors, which provided our best teams with tools to win in wealth management. Hiring Elkhorn Marketing Group to engage in your office is a no-brainer."

Brian Vrana - Speaking Engagements

"We have had Elkhorn Marketing Group speak at two Network Office Days. They exceeded our expectations in terms of the keynote presentation and breakout sessions with actionable steps our teams can leverage to see more growth. It was refreshing to be able to give our advisors resources that help them become better marketers. We have also had Elkhorn Marketing Group provide several marketing trainings, which have helped our teams think differently and drive growth."
