There are not enough amazing things to say about Dan and the publicity support he provides. In just a short time, I have achieved so many incredible goals. Thanks to Dan's expertise, I’ve been featured on multiple media outlets, including The Social, CHCH, CP24, and Windsor local media. Dan's dedication and skill have created amazing opportunities for me to enhance my visibility and reach. If you are thinking of working with Dan, don’t wait—the time is now!
Calissa Ngozi | Youth Mental Health Expert
Dan is a rock star. What he’s been able to do for me is just insane. Dan is single-handedly the best investment I have made. He has worked diligently to promote me, my business, and my messaging. He is kind, motivating, driven, and so good at what he does. 'Thank you' doesn’t seem enough.
Aseel El-Baba | Financial Therapist
I recently had the incredible opportunity to appear on Breakfast Television at CityTV, all thanks to Dan Shaikh from Speaker Slam. Dan played a crucial role in pitching my work in financial therapy to the show, leading to an invaluable exposure and experience. I'm deeply grateful for Dan's belief in me and his commitment to helping me grow my career and impact. A heartfelt thank you to Dan for his support and encouragement.
Lauren Pires | Disability Advocate
Dan's publicist work and the Speaker Slam platform have changed my life. He actually builds relationships with the journalists and producers he pitches, so they trust him for future pitches, and he has a great eye for media-worthy angles. I've been featured on Breakfast Television, Global News, Insauga, CityNews Toronto and so many more local and international media outlets, some of them multiple times. Dan doesn't only cover media pitching; he's also always on the lookout for awards and other recognition opportunities for his clients. Because of the nomination Dan submitted, I was selected as an honoree on the D-30 Disability Impact List 2024, which has completely increased my exposure in the disability community. I'm so glad to have found Speaker Slam!
Joze Piranian | International Keynote Speaker
Dan Shaikh's support and the platform provided by Speaker Slam were pivotal in transforming my journey from struggling with a stutter to becoming a recognized motivational speaker. Under Dan's creative direction, the high-quality videos produced amplified my message, enabling significant opportunities like speaking at the Archangel Summit alongside notable figures such as Arlene Dickinson and Brendon Bouchard. Thanks to Dan's efforts and strategic media partnerships, my speeches reached viral status, with nearly 2.5 million views, far exceeding the impact of traditional venues. This not only marked a key milestone in my career but also underscored Dan's commitment to scaling my message and inspiring a global audience.
