The Creative Coast is pleased to announce Selfie On A Stick LLC co-founders, Jacqueline Verdier and Dominic Suszanski, have joined the Geekend lineup as featured keynote speakers to share their success story behind America’s leading selfie stick brand on Saturday, October 17 at 1:30 p.m. The duo will speak at The Guild Hall located at 615 Montgomery St. in downtown Savannah. Tickets are on sale for a limited time and can be purchased online www.geek-end.com.

“We're so excited to welcome Jacqueline and Dominic to Geekend,” said The Creative Coast Programs Manager Emily McLeod. “Not only do they have an incredible entrepreneurial success story to share about their past few years, they also thoughtfully approach how others can integrate selfie sticks into their marketing. Geekend attendees will learn lots from these two and one lucky winner of our Geekbot photo contest will have the chance for some one-on-two consulting with them.”

In just over one year, founding partners Verdier and Suszanski capitalized on the selfie phenomenon sweeping across the nation by creating a high quality product that securely holds your phone in place and extends up to 42.5 inches overhead to capture the perfect photo. Today, Selfie On A Stick has been recognized by countless media and nationwide retailers and was named one of TIME magazine’s top inventions of 2014 and Good Morning America’s hottest and hardest to get gifts of 2014.

Selfie On A Stick CEO Jacqueline Verdier says “Dominic and I love that Geekend brings together a diverse group of entrepreneurs, developers, marketers, and innovators and we’re looking forward to adding our voices to the weekend’s conversations.  We hope that the attendees will learn from our strategies and find inspiration in both the hard work and the fun we’ve had making Selfie On A Stick stand out from the competition and become the most talked about brand in our market!
