Professional Speaker on Digital Strategy, Marketing and Social Media

Book Monique for your next conference, workshop or webinar.

In addition to running Boxcar Marketing, Monique Sherrett is an associate professor at Simon Fraser University and teaches in the Master of Publishing program, as well as at the undergraduate level in the Faculty of Communications, Arts & Technology. She regularly presents at marketing and technology conferences and professional development days for associations, educators, and government organizations. 

Recommendation: Samantha Francis, Marketing and Communications Manager, BookNet Canada: “Monique is extremely knowledgeable about digital marketing and is very skilled at teaching others. She spoke at two conferences I programmed and she was a pleasure to work with. She was always responsive and professional, she was open to tailoring her presentations to the audience’s needs, and was great at educating and inspiring attendees.” 

My dynamic presentations use real-world examples tailored to the audience in order to convey realistic opportunities and expectations for success so that attendees are able to leave with hands-on, practical tactics for approaching the topic within their own organization.

Recommendation: Julie Wilson, Publishing Professional, Author and Founder of Book Madam & Associates: “Attend any conference where Monique is scheduled to appear and sit back to wait for the moment people start to fumble for their pens and pads. The moment sneaks up from behind, because we’re not accustomed to the presenter who doesn’t end a slide show with an invitation to learn more: Monique has only just begun. Her approach is all added-value, her wisdom, insight and application on full, transparent display. The antithesis of a schmoozy mover ‘n’ shaker, Monique clearly and concisely illustrates the tips, tools and thinking that should be at the forefront of any marketer’s mind — and those who employ them.”
