Keynote Speaker

Johnny Cupcakes

Since 2001, Johnny Cupcakes—the company founded by speaker Johnny Earle, who goes by the nickname Johnny Cupcakes—has grown from a “joke” to a multi-million dollar, highly exclusive t-shirt brand driven by a community of world-wide collectors. Johnny will share his story of how he took his t-shirt brand from the trunk of his rusty car at age 19, to disrupting an industry, breaking all of the rules, and being sought after by the largest brands in the world.

As a TEDx speaker, Johnny frequently speaks at businesses and universities worldwide. He has been named “Americas #1 Young Entrepreneur” by BusinessWeek, “Top Innovator in Retail” by The Boston Globe, has been recognized four years in a row for making it into the Inc. 500 / 5000 List of fastest growing independent companies in America, and has been featured on MTV, NPR, Forbes, WIRED, and as a case study in several branding and business books.

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 Procter & Gamble.

Johnny Cupcakes is known for helping other people create blueprints for building brand loyalty, creating memorable experiences and inspiring innovation.

The Keynote Session is sponsored by ARA Insurance.
