John Kapos started out on Facebook and Instagram, but his real success came with Snapchat, Periscope and TikTok. He has thousands of followers and interaction from 55 countries on his Snapchat, Periscope and TikTok accounts, many of whom have visited his store when in Australia.

Testimonials

I had the great honor to have John as a speaker and mentor at my Entrepreneurship immersion in Singapore in Dec 2019. I was deeply impressed by John's depth and breadth of knowledge when it comes to live streaming and entrepreneurship. John went above and beyond to serve my students who joined the Immersion. Not only did John give a stellar presentation on live streaming but also served as an incredible mentor throughout the entire ten-day Immersion. Students loved hanging out with John and fellow speakers benefited tremendously from John's experience and expertise. I cannot recommend John enough!

John is a highly energetic, passionate, funny and extremely knowledgable speaker and entrepreneur. The way he creates and uses content to share his message is inspiring. His profound excitement for what he does shines through in every video, picture and speech. And: His authenticity is refreshing in an often "fake, plastic-fantastic social media world". If you look for an epic edutainer, you better reach out to "Chocolate Jonny".

John aka Chocolate Johnny presented both a keynote on Live Video and a workshop on Snapchat at The Social Media Conference NZ #SMCNZ17. The feedback we had was that the loved how personable John was and eager to help everyone. You could find John in breaks helping small groups. Thank you for attending our conference and sharing your knowledge.

I first learned about John from watching his Snapchat stories and later on Instagram. I was fortunate enough to meet him at Social Media Marketing World, where he was speaking. He has been a trailblazer in actually using the story format in social media, and has used it in an applied, rather than theoretical, way to increase the success of his chocolate business. People from all over the world come to his store because of his skill on social media. I've also sampled his chocolate at a meetup in London and it's pretty great too. So if you are looking for a social media speaker, or damn fine chocolate, then John is your man.
