Customization means a lot more than using the company’s name and industry title through out the presentation. These days there are many wonderful professional speakers that do a fair amount of research on the client as well as the industry before standing before the audience to present. This adds a huge amount of value to the presentation.

As a client, if you are interested in the speakers that will truly customize their presentation to your industry and company, it is important to find out how much they will customize. Many speakers can give specific examples of what they have done in the past to customize for a client and this might give you just the confidence that you need to make a decision.

We, at Brooks International Speakers Bureau, can help you narrow down your search by telling you who is best at customizing their presentations. In addition to customization we will help you find a speaker that will also deliver the type of message that you are looking for with the tone that you want to bring to the event. Customization can greatly increase attendees’ retention of the message for use long after the speech is over; this adds great value to your choice of speaker and to the meeting.

Technorati Profile

A family musical of “Ali Baba & the 40 Thieves” is the company’s next project, which Jacoby is co-producing with Creative Artist’s Agency Co-Founder and Hollywood legend, Rowland Perkins. Perkins was Co-Executive Producer of Jacoby’s acclaimed “Davy Jones’ Locker.”

“These are evergeen original musicals. What’s key for me is that they are inspirational stories with something to say – whether it’s the importance of books and reading, and family, as it was with “Davy Jones’ Locker,” or the inviolate importance of childhood dreams that must not be allowed to flame out. We tell these stories using a unique blend of animation and puppetry in a way that has never been seen before.”

Jacoby, himself having grown up in foster homes most of his childhood, knows something about what he speaks on, and about his audience. His very early success in live television, creating game shows while still in his teens, makes his a real-life Horatio Alger story – the kind of story the country seems most in the mood for these days.

“And finally, kids love to put on shows. Think about the interactive possibilities of kids being able to go ‘backstage’ and put on their own shows using our characters, sets, props, etc. (even our music and sound effects) and then being able to send them to their friends and family. That’s what we’re working on at Children’s Video Theater®.

In fact, Jacoby himself was honored with a MoMA retrospective for his work in 2006, and is “a subject of biographical record” in the definitive Marquis’ “Who’s Who in Entertainment.”

Danny DeVito’s first theatrical picture, “Hurry Up, Or I’ll Be 30″, is one that Joe cast him for, and the story of how the two met on a cold winter night on Manhattan’s upper West Side is both true and hilarious, as is his encounter with Burgess Meredith when he had to coax and cajole Meredith into playing the lead role in the acclaimed Warner Bros. film THE GREAT BANK HOAX.

Robert Osborne, Host of Turner Classic Movies, has said of JOSEPH JACOBY’S “THE GREAT BANK HOAX” – “Carrying a class look, it’s a distinct throwback to some of those better comedies of the ’40s in which character actors get a chance to grab close-ups and run with the ball. In this case, it’s Richard Basehart, Burgess Meredith, and Ned Beatty; playing bumbling bankers who stage a cover-up with as many holes in it as Watergate.”

The DVD release of “THE GREAT BANK HOAX”, with its all-star cast, is due from Warner Home Video in late spring 2009. Also watch for its upcoming cable network release.

Combine inspiration and motivation with Hollywood dreams, and you’ve got the essence of Joseph Jacoby’s audience appeal. You can find out more about Joseph Jacoby by reading his acclaimed memoir BOY ON A STRING, with an Introduction by friend and NYU classmate, Martin Scorsese (available from most online bookstores), and watch for his powerful documentary “A Case of MisTaken Identity?” now playing the PBS stations, nationwide.
