Professional Recommendation

When reliability matters

From the Headliner Group Media & Events Team — A storytelling-driven environment connecting creators, brands, and the global audio community

Paul Watson

CEO
Headliner Group
Media leadership, content strategy, and industry event development
Mike deeply understands what we’re trying to achieve as a media and events company, and he actively helps us improve, reach goals, and move initiatives forward in meaningful ways.
Complete Endorsement Statement

I’ve worked with Mike professionally now for a few years, and the first thing that I noticed about him was how good he is with people. In my line of business  — media and events company, and content creator — people are everything, and you also get to know very quickly if the individual or company ‘gets’ what you’re trying to do.

Mike not only gets it when it comes to my business, he has actively tried to help me improve it and reach the goals I’ve set for myself and my team. You can’t fake that, in my experience.

Furthermore, Mike is a phenomenal networker - to the extent that before I had actually met him in person, he had helped me not only curate an event at an international Trade Show, he had supplied some of the talent and a core segment of the attendees - ‘the people in the room are everything’, as he might put it. That event is hands down the best thing I’ve done to date, and will now grows each year (with his continued support, of course).

Mike is an investor in people and gets behind initiatives and individuals that he believes in - I cannot recommend working with him, or at minimum just spending time with him, enough.

This recommendation was provided by the CEO of Headliner Group following years of professional collaboration, editorial partnership, and event development.
