Peter Shankman is Doing PR Differently

By TSG

For professionals and organizations looking for help in the realm of social networking and social media, Peter Shankman may be your man. Who is Peter Shankman?

PR Week magazine has described him as “redefining the art of networking,” and Investor’s Business Daily has called him “crazy, but effective.” Peter Shankman is a spectacular example of what happens when you harness the power of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and put it to work for you.

As an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and ingenious worldwide connector, Peter is recognized nationally and globally for doing PR (and everything else) differently–not only to get attention, produce great results, and create great companies, but also to have a lot of fun while at it every day.

Peter’s clients have included the Snapple Beverage Group, Walt Disney World, Vantage Point Venture Partners, American Express, Discovery Networks, New Frontier Media, OpSec Security, Napster, Juno, GenuOne, Dream Catcher Destinations Club, Prstore, Weblo, and many others, and he sits on the board of both Scott-e-Vest, the world’s first technologically enabled clothing line, as well as TripLife.

Peter is the author of Can We Do That?! Outrageous PR Stunts That Work and Why Your Company Needs Them (Wiley and Sons 2006) and is a frequent keynote speaker and workshop presenter at conferences, shows, marketing summits, corporate events, and public relations and marketing industry meetings, including Saatchi and Saatchi, Home Town Suites Hotels, NAB, Comdex, CTIA, CTAM, CES, PMA, The Next Gen Asia Advertising Conference, Mobile Marketing Asia 2007, Advertising Week, and the Direct Marketing Association.

In Peter’s words, social media and social networking are not marketing tools or devices; they’re simply part of life now. We – individuals and organizations – have to embrace that truth and develop a new way of thinking. That’s not necessarily easy – which is why we need people like Peter! – but it’s exciting.
