CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“We approached Peter at PAKMAN Communications last year to help us with our media relations preparations in time for the release of our firm. While we’re very comfortable in front of cameras, knowing what to say in interviews is another story. His advice gave us the tools we needed to be confident with our strategy to make the best impression with our social media marketing and public relations as we promote our independent horror film, Curse of Auror. We know scary, and he took the scariness out of media relations for us in no time at all. We are forever grateful.”

Minna Brighton
Producer and Managing Partner, Cult Cinema, LLC

“We brought Peter and PAKMAN Communications in just two months before our healthcare start-up went public. He worked around the clock with me to prepare for the onslaught of media requests and interviews, with my B2B team on best practices for cold calling techniques and presentations, our communications team on getting media attention through social media posts and press releases and finally with our government relations team responsible for getting federal, provincial and municipal buy-in. Overall, Peter touched every aspect of our rollout and set my team up for success in the long-term.”

Dr. Ryan Doherty
Founder & President

“Peter Akman worked with me on media interview techniques and lined up several media interviews for me in the lead up to the event. Peter also served as moderator and master of ceremonies for the day. He did a masterful job, drawing from and sharing his own experiences, engaging with the panelists by asking insightful questions, keeping the event on schedule, and generally providing skilled leadership before an audience of over 400 people. Peter helped make the day meet our objectives, and we are so thankful for his participation.”

Leanne Matlow
Mental Health Empowerment Day Founder

“Peter Akman has forged a long-standing relationship with those who serve Canada at home and abroad. From his deployment to Afghanistan in 2011, to his ongoing attention to the mental health needs of our injured Veterans, First Responders, and their family members here at home, Peter has worked tirelessly to ensure their stories were front and centre in the Canadian public. Away from the camera, his charitable work supporting Wounded Warriors Canada is equally long-standing and we’re grateful to have his continued support.”

Scott Maxwell
Executive Director, Wounded Warriors Canada

“Public relations requires big picture thinking along with an eye for detail, and this is the perfect description of what Peter Akman and PAKMAN Communications Inc. did for our company. He coordinated with us to develop long term goals in terms of media relations and visibility, and he had the diligence and the skills to implement plans which accomplished these goals. He comes with my highest recommendation.”

Chris Pereira
President & CEO, Canadian Ecosystem Institute

“Peter Akman and PAKMAN Communications Inc. helped guide our Public Affairs team’s development and implemented our public relations campaigns and media management strategies. He has excellent instincts for gauging public opinion and projecting public reaction.”
