Referenzen & Presse

"Ruth is an amazing speaker! She brings to any audience a deep appreciation of the entertainment industry from her own personal background. Then she builds on that with an in-depth knowledge of the emerging technologies, trends and the traps of social media and mobile technologies which she can apply to a huge range of industries. I have had the pleasure of seeing her speak to groups of more than 2000 people and others with fewer than 50, and in every case, she captivates the audience, engages them in a dialogue, and enlightens them to ideas they haven't even begun to explore. In sum, every time I have seen Ruth speak I have come away with some amazing insights that I want to tackle immediately" Julie Smith David - Associate Professor of information systems and director of the Center for Advancing Business through Information Technology (CABIT)

Ruth spoke a couple of years in a row at my UCLA music business class about not just internet marketing but also the importance of owning your own customer database, back in the days when it was unheard of for people to be conducting e-Marketing campaigns on their own. Always a forward thinking person, Ruth was an engaging, informative speaker, on the pulse of the latest technology. Dina LaPolt, LaPolt Law, P.C. 9000 Sunset Blvd., Suite 800 West Hollywood
