AS$8.33/min per minute(4)EretailAlexandra Skey • San Franciso Bay AreaCreated 12 years ago in Industries / Restaurant & RetailWe’re at the beginning of explosive growth in eretail, where past success won’t guarantee future wins. There’s opportunity for everyone, as long as we understand the new job of a retailer - to be a resource exchange center. I’ve worked on the international best-seller Store Wars: The Worldwide Battle for Mindspace & Shelfspace and am lead author on the next eretail book in the series. I also helped launch North America’s First Zero Waste Coffee Shop. If you're in this space and need a hand, give me a shout! I can only promise one thing - you won't get typical advice. But then again, if you're giving me a call you're not looking to do business as usual.Alexandra Skey San Franciso Bay Area(4)

AS$8.33/min per minute(4)PresentingAlexandra Skey • San Franciso Bay AreaCreated 12 years ago in Technology / Mobile“Could listen to @AlexandraSkey pitch all day!! #DemoDay2013” – Jesse Heaslip, Entrepreneur I love presenting. It’s one of my favourite things in the world to do. In fact, I’d rather be on the stage than almost anywhere else. Maybe that's why I’ve been dubbed as “one of the best presenters in Vancouver.” In the last year I rocked almost every presentation I gave, winning numerous competitions and awards, including the CBC’s Dragons Den Competition during Social Media Week, Launch Academy’s Demo Day and the BCTIA Investor’s Choice Award. If you’re working on a pitch and want to make it remarkable, give me a shout. If you’re going on stage in the next 24 hours, promise me one thing – have fun! p.s. Link is to the Shaw TV interview I did after we won the Investor's Choice Award.Alexandra Skey San Franciso Bay Area(4)

AS$8.33/min per minute(4)MarketingAlexandra Skey • San Franciso Bay AreaCreated 12 years ago in Technology / MobileThe best marketers are entrepreneurs. I believe that. I’ve launched software platforms, worked on books, blogged, presented and lectured on marketing concepts and ideas over the last 7 years. I was also mentored by one of Canada’s Top Marketers. If you want help being remarkable, redesigning a product for your customers or you’ve hit a marketing roadblock, I’m all yours.Alexandra Skey San Franciso Bay Area(4)

Alexandra helped me figure out my Twitter strategy and suggested several tactics to implement immediately. It was a very informative call, plus Alexandra was fun and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable on the topic.
Source: Clarity Tatyana Gray Feb 13, 2015Thanks Alexandra. We got an excellent perspective on customer experience in eRetail. Very relevant inputs at this stage of our journey.
Source: Clarity suman kalyan Oct 4, 2014Alexandria has great insights on retail and really helped me focus on finding and solving the real problems retailers face (and not just trying to push a solution). Great call.
Source: Clarity Ebube Anizor Aug 14, 2014Great chat! Very informative and introduced me to some interesting trends to pursue.
Source: Clarity Noah Marconi Jul 22, 2014I am the Co-Organizer of the Vancouver Business Network Meetup. On April 16, 2013 Ms. Alexandra Skey spoke eloquently to my members. The title of her presentation was “How to use content marketing to get huge online growth”. Alexandra totally engaged the audience with her stories and the depth and breadth of her knowledge around what it takes to use content marketing to grow online. She opened many eyes to the potential that can be realized by tapping into the amazing power of content marketing.
Source: LinkedIn Roger Killen Sep 28, 2013Alexandra was a pleasure to work with: a great team member, and a constant source of positive energy for both co-workers and patrons alike. Her radiant and engaging manner made regulars of many customers with whom she would creatively generate ongoing dialogues with customers well beyond the scope of the familiar and pedestrian, "where are you off to today?" This culture of liveliness and humour was ingratiated in to the morning service, and became what her 'shift' was known for.
In addition to her charisma, Alexandra was a constant source for innovative ways to advance the organization. Her creativity stretched well beyond the bounds of the shop, and conversations would quickly expand to musings on social media, experiential marketing, revenue models and the ilk.
She was and has always been very well versed in 'what's next' in new media, and I consider her an invaluable sounding board on the topic.
It was a pleasure working with Alexandra and I would be excited to find another opportunity to work with her again.
Source: LinkedIn Alan Fidler Sep 28, 2013Following the opportunity to work with Alex and The Tea Room over the course of a year during our time at Queen's, I was immediately struck by her brilliant energy and creativity. She demonstrated a constant commitment and enthusiasm for the project we were working on, but didn't hesitate to ask questions and motivate new ideas to improve the success of our business. And at the same time, Alex is able to exude the humble confidence of a seasoned entrepreneur. Would definitely recommend Alex for success in any role where she as an opportunity to create, define, and inspire those around her.
Source: LinkedIn Josh Workman Sep 28, 2013I had the pleasure of working with Alexandra in several different capacities, both professionally and personally. Alexandra is one of the most motivated, professional and personable individuals I have worked with. I have observed first hand her abilities to set goals and achieve them. When it comes to working as a team member, she will ensure that everyone is communicating effectively and exceeds any expectations I have of others. Alex is a pleasure to work with and an asset is any professional setting.
Source: LinkedIn Ryan Shoemaker Sep 28, 2013Alexandra proved to be a very diligent and hard working individual. She displayed incredible creativity and appreciation of the marketplace. she was willing to run with ideas and implement them in an creative and effective manner.
Source: LinkedIn David J. McConomy, MBA, CA Sep 28, 2013Alexandra's passion for people and drive to innovate the manner in which we commute inspired the creation of wommp. Connecting companies to patrons through social media is now part of our daily lives; Alexandra was on of the few people to identify this trend in early 2007.
Alexandra's inovation and boundless energy inspires the utmost confidence I have in her abilities. This trust lead me to invest in wommp ltd in 2008.
Alexandra was an attentive and bright CEO. Her experience and talent will be a boon to any project she choses to lend her skills to.
