Fit
Who it is for
- Conference and event organisers who want an AI marketing talk with working examples instead of a tour of logos.
- Leadership teams and offsites where managers own a marketing budget or a commercial target and would like to leave with something sharper than a laminated framework.
- Universities, academies and executive programmes that want a practitioner on the stage who has actually run the campaigns.
- Agencies and associations whose members should leave with something they can try the next morning, before the enthusiasm wears off.
Who it is not for
- Audiences without a marketing or commercial role, where a general motivational speaker fits better. We bring numbers, not fireworks.
- Events that want a product pitch from the stage. The keynote teaches a method and sells nothing, which makes it a poor fit for a sponsored slot.
- Talks that should only repeat this month's AI headlines. Your audience read those on the train.
Deliverables
What an AI marketing keynote speaker delivers (besides coffee-break material)
- 01
The keynote itself (headline act, no warm-up band)
A talk on what AI changes in marketing, built on systems that run client budgets today and shown with real examples. The slides exist, but they work for a living.
- 02
A topic that fits your room
We pick the angle with you: AI in everyday marketing, budget engines, getting named in AI answers, or a growth method for teams. One topic per talk, because nobody remembers five.
- 03
Receipts from live work
Real accounts and real systems, shown anonymized, so the audience sees how the method behaves under pressure. No stock photos of robots.
- 04
An optional live format (yes, the room gets scored)
A QR code quiz that scores the room like leads and steers the session to what the room needs, as used in the HSLU session. The audience becomes the experiment, politely.
- 05
A takeaway that survives the buffet
Funnel and workflow playbooks that managers can put to work in their own teams, usable before the lunch queue clears.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI marketing keynote speaker cost?
Short answer: a keynote with Elias Oender is from €4950 per keynote. Fees across the speaker market vary widely with the speaker, the format and the event, so compare what each includes. Travel, format and preparation are agreed on a 15-minute call, before anything is booked. No mystery fee turns up in the second email.
What does a keynote speaker do?
Besides filling the slot between coffee and lunch, a keynote speaker gives the opening or main talk of an event and sets the direction for the day. The best ones give the audience a clear idea and a method they can use afterwards. For marketing audiences that means working examples, because a list of tools is just a shopping list.
What topics does Elias speak about?
Four angles are on the menu: AI in everyday marketing, budget engines that move money to the winning campaigns, getting named in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers, and a growth method for teams. We pick the angle and the depth with you on the intro call, and we do not squeeze all four into one hour.
Has Elias spoken to audiences before?
Elias has taught managers and marketing professionals. He designed the growth hacking session of the CAS Online Media and Campaign Management at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and was a lecturer at the Werbe Akademie in Vienna, both in the past. The keynote draws on that classroom practice and on his current client work. We prefer a short honest list to a long invented one.
Why book a practitioner instead of a trend speaker?
A practitioner talks about what happened in real accounts, including what failed, which is the interesting part. The audience gets examples from systems that run client budgets today, which makes the talk easy to act on. A trend speaker reports what others did, from the outside, and the audience can usually tell.
Can the keynote be fitted to my industry or event?
Yes. On the intro call we cover the audience, their role, their budget responsibility and what you want them to do afterwards. The examples and the depth follow from that. An optional live format with a QR code quiz can be built into the session, and yes, it is as fun as it sounds.
Is the keynote available in German and in English?
Yes, both. Elias is a native German speaker with fifteen years inside the DACH market and also works with international clients. Tell us the language of your audience on the call and the talk is prepared in that language. The jokes survive translation. Mostly.
How do I book Elias for my event?
Start with a 15-minute call. We talk about the event, the audience and the topic, then confirm price, travel and preparation in writing. Nothing is booked before you have seen the outline and agreed to it. No surprise clauses, no sudden invoice with a tie on it.
