Echo Conference

We are so excited to announce our final keynote speaker…

Brad Abare

Brad is an inoperable idealist with an appetite for discovering and deploying dreams. An entrepreneur at heart, Brad started his first company at age 14. By the time he got his driver’s license, he would launch a publishing company and, by age 19, he would start a design and marketing firm. Before the close of the twentieth century, a national magazine would recognize Brad as one of the top 21 young men for the 21st Century.

Today, Brad is the assistant vice president and director of communications at the central offices of The Foursquare Church. The Foursquare denomination includes over 6 million members, over 50,000 churches and nearly 60,000 ministers worldwide. Brad oversees publications, video, web, events, promotions and communication to the U.S.

Brad is also president of Personality™, a marketing and communication consultancy he founded in 1998. Personality™ believes that organizations are just like people, they have a personality. Understanding that personality creates a framework for effective decision making and helps to stop wasting money on marketing that doesn’t fit.

Brad also serves on several boards including the Center for Church Communication, the non-profit organization behind Church Marketing Sucks.

Brad is a very busy guy, but still finds time to keep up with several blogs. Check out his blogs at www.bradabare.com, Church Marketing Sucks, and Personality.
