Your audience doesn’t need another funnel.

They need a reason to trust you.

In a world flooded with ads, algorithms, and AI-generated noise, email remains the most powerful channel for building real relationships at scale—but only if you use it like a human, not a marketer chasing clicks.

In this actionable and inspiring keynote, marketing strategist and veteran storyteller Sebastian Dziuk shows why most email marketing underperforms—and how to fix it by leading with connection instead of conversion.

Drawing from his experience as a U.S. Army Public Affairs Sergeant and LGBTQ+ entrepreneur, Sebastian shares a human-first approach to email marketing that prioritizes trust, clarity, and long-term relationship building.

Attendees will learn why transactional email tactics are burning lists—and what actually works instead: writing emails that people want to open, read, and reply to.

This keynote is ideal for businesses that want email to become a revenue-driving asset—not just another channel they “should probably use more.”

Audience Outcomes:

• Increase open, click, and conversion rates by putting relationship-building before “hard sell” CTAs in your emails and sequences.

• Build a values-driven email brand that attracts loyal, aligned subscribers who look forward to hearing from you and are primed to buy.

• Replace one-off broadcast emails with a clear, connection-centered email strategy that nurtures subscribers from first opt-in to long-term client.
