BiographyIf you dream of inspiring cult-like brand loyalty--the kind that involves mile-long queues and even permanent tattoos--Johnny Cupcakes is for you. The founder of the world-renowned tee-shirt brand Johnny Cupcakes, Johnny's known for helping other people create blueprints for building brand loyalty, creating memorable experiences, and inspiring innovation.
With global store openings, thousands of customers with his logo tattooed on themselves, people who camp out for his products, and high-profile collaborations with giants such as The Simpsons, Power Rangers, and Nickelodeon, Johnny was named America's #1 Young Entrepreneur by Business Week, Top Innovator in Retail by The Boston Globe, and featured in INC magazine as the CEO of one of the world's fastest growing independent businesses.
Despite being in one of the most difficult product categories to stand-out in, and a founder of a brand when he was just 19 years old, Johnny's solution to his business challenges was to create such a unique brand experience that his customers would loyally line-up around the block, time and time again, just to be able to sport his logo on their clothing.
Since then, through his talks and creative consulting, Johnny has shared his strategies with clients that include Apple, L'Oreal, Disney, IBM, Audi, Harvard University, Wieden+Kennedy, Marriott, and P&G.
Also a TEDx speaker, Johnny has been featured in media such as MTV, NPR, Forbes, WIRED, Newsweek, and as a case study in several branding and business books.

Featured Keynote ProgramsBuilding Brand Loyalty & Memorable Experiences
With each new launch the hysteria around the ‘Johnny Cupcakes’ brand continues to conquer the globe. The reaction goes from 10 block queues as anxious fans await for the shop to open to Cupcake tattoos, yes, permanent ones.
In this awe-inducing presentation Johnny will educate you on how you too can create a wave of loyalty and obsession around your products, your business and within your teams through the power of social media & experiential branding.
Inspiring Team & Customer Culture
We talk about ‘word of mouth’ advertising as the holy grail of brand expansion, but countless businesses forget the word of mouth generated internally and by their team of millennials.
There is no one that understands the mindsets of the customer than Johnny Cupcakes. In this dynamic presentation he will inspire leaders to create a culture of ‘brand obsessives’, team members who will shout about the company values and engage with the brand on a deep level; resulting in loyal teams and bowled- over customers.
Finding A Way
So many ideas, so little resources! Some of the biggest business success stories were the product of dollar coffees and a loving parent’s garage – including Johnny Cupcakes. So if you have the drive then this presentation will show you and your audience how to get behind the wheel and steer your organization into new territories and gently away from old ways!
With utter conviction and complete passion Johnny will talk leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and sales teams through the lessons he has learned on his journey to global domination – and arm them with easy to apply strategies for making their dreams a reality. Johnny shares dozens of ingredients to success, including the power of details, collaboration, and the art of rolling with the punches while learning to adapt.

Featured ReviewsAt our annual company inspiration day, Johnny inspired me to have more fun with my company!
FREDERIC ROZ_E, CEO
L'OREAL Paris USA
Johnny was by far one of the most engaging keynote speakers we have ever had in the history of our 11-year IT Conference. His energy, sincerity and humor was just what we needed for our participants and sponsors. I would recommend Johnny for any conference!
JILL RAUSCH, PROJECT MANAGER
WORLD WIDE TECHNOLOGY
After Johnny "wowed" the group with his inspiring words, lines wrapped around the hall to get one of the limited edition custom shirts he made for our event. We sold out in under 90 minutes and had to place an additional order. In true Johnny fashion he stayed to greet everyone in line even those that didn't get a shirt. Our people are still talking about the event a year later and I often see the custom t-shirts around the country!

The recipe is simple: mix equal parts incredible story and unbridled energy; add dashes of humor, creativity and passion; sprinkle with joyful nuttiness...and what you and your attendees are left with is an hour they will never forget. Pump up your own team; wow an external audience - there are so many settings where this man will ABSOLUTELY CRUSH IT
