The Harley Davidson Story
Make Some Noise: Open The Throttle And Dominate Your Marketplace
Presented by Ken Schmidt
former Harley-Davidson Communications Director
Saturday, January 14th, 2016 – 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

This year’s keynote speaker, Ken Schmidt, is the former Director of Communications for the world’s best-known motorcycle brand, Harley-Davidson. In 1969 Harley-Davidson was purchased by AMF. AMF cut labor, raised prices, and quality slipped. Public Relations students learn that no PR measure can correct a bad reputation if the company’s product or service is poor.
Reduced quality caused discontent among customers and growth for Harley-Davidson’s competition, particularly Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. In 1981 AMF sold the company to a group of investors, including one of the founder’s descendants, who made quality their top priority. Armed with the message of improved quality and value, Schmidt helped Harley-Davidson ride out of a death spiral into an era of new growth. We’re excited to hear about his experiences, strategies, and tactics.
Schmidt’s appearance is sponsored by CLG Insurance and Nationwide Insurance.
