John is a marketing enigma, a “direct response customer attraction expert” who thinks way outside the box.
His marketing consultancy business is called The Institute Of Wow – & John’s mantra is that one’s marketing needs to “wow” prospects.
He’s also the guy who shocked the marketing world some years back when he convinced Jerry Seinfeld to come out of retirement to be the spokesman for an Australian banking institution, The Greater Building Society.
Jerry headed up a “free vacation campaign” which broke home loan lending records and remains folklore in the global banking industry…..people received a “free vacation” when they got a home loan.
This was probably one of the most successful “incentive-promotions” in the world, resulting in many BILLIONS of dollars in extra home loans.
John helps business owners understand how to exploit platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn by implementing “incentive-based marketing offers” that can be targeted specifically to certain audiences.
His client list reads like a Who’s Who of business and includes the likes of Rupert Murdoch’s News Ltd, 7 Eleven, Westfield Shopping Centres, Walt Disney, KFC and BP to name a few.
Such companies have used his skills because they acknowledge he is “the master of creating incentives that work.”
He has created done-for-you “customer incentive packages” that businesses can plug & play – including “extraordinary customer rewards” like Fuel Savings & Free Vacations.
When it comes to “unique marketing concepts” that attract an avalanche of new clients for businesses, John certainly delivers.

John Roescher is the CEO of Raw Materials, 2024's D&AD Design Agency of the Year. Roescher’s interest in the internet and technology — and the ability of each to foster connection and creativity — started at a young age and accelerated once he taught himself to code. This fascination evolved into a passion which led Roescher to launch Handsome, a pioneering digital design firm. Later, driven by a desire to challenge the industry’s growing focus on efficiency over originality, Roescher shuttered Handsome and co-founded Raw Materials, where he guides the firm’s pursuit of unusual wins by balancing rigorous, data-driven processes with a sense of romance — the imaginative spark that fuels creativity. Under Roescher's leadership, Raw Materials consistently pushes the boundaries of what design can achieve.

This one you don't want to miss, we have Adam Sherman is a long-time San Francisco resident, graduate of San Francisco State University, environmental social justice activist, and a writer who is relatively new to the scene, having mostly done his writing on social media and public service announcements through his activism before embarking on his first published book. With past experience in public service programs and overseas internships, Adam is here with us today to talk about his book, Living Beyond Normal, how it relates to our common humanity and the need to be more accepting of those who are different from us in thinking and behavior, and who deserve all the success and life experiences as anyone else in society. As for chapters, I think it is a good idea that we highlight 3-4 chapters across the three stages of my book so we can give listeners an encompassing insight into its content. My opinion is we start with the first two chapters since they lay the foundation of what's to come, chapter 15 to highlight the struggle of expressing personal feelings and dealing with the real world effects of them, and chapter 18 to highlight the dangers of workplace abuse and the discrimination that comes with searching for work in the job market.

As a kid, he drew everything he could think of, hung out with the designers at the advertising agency where his mom worked, and constantly took things apart to better understand them. Always looking for new ways to solve problems, Jeremy was the kid, and later the adult, to whom people turned to when they needed help expressing themselves and their ideas graphically. Today, as the principal of his own firm, Jeremy puts his insatiable curiosity to work every day as he gets into the heads of his clients to understand what they want and—perhaps more importantly—need to develop a memorable brand presence. With a firm belief that he is the master of his computer (and not the other way around), he works everything on paper first to ensure that the logos he designs and the brands he creates are as thoughtful, effective and original as the clients they represent. Jeremy lives in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio with his wife Becky, two teenagers and a miniature poodle.

Trip's work leading design at companies such as Adobe, Microsoft, and Amazon has touched the lives people around the world. His past work includes the design of video games for the Chicago Field Museum, childhood health initiatives for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, vehicular interfaces at Audible, IOT, Shopping, communications and voice Skills for Amazon Alexa, revolutionizing online learning, scaling the service design for Amazon's 'last mile' delivery experience from a 2-city pilot to an $11.5 billion global logistics system delivering over 2 billion packages globally, in just 18 months.
Before his career in tech, Trip was a teacher and school technologist. He entered the classroom, and later the field of design because of his experience with growing up dyslexic. His experience of being marginalized not only shaped his instincts as a designer, but he attributes his success to his “dyslexic superpowers”; and how his different brain and an “outside in” approach led to the fundamentally inclusive, accessible, broad, and innovative work reflected in his portfolio and used by billions of times around the world every day.
