Testimonials

“I had the fortune of attending two sessions that Mike presented: one was at a Social Media Workshop at MARCOM and the other was a presentation he gave during a course I was taking (Professional Certificate for Public Sector and Non Profit Marketing). While I was skeptical at first, Mike not only opened a whole new dimension to communications but he also reinforced the importance of strategy and planning. He is motivating and his presentations are of enormous value. Thank you Mike!” July, 2008 - Doris Mirella

“I attended Mike’s full-day Social Media workshop, which I thought was extremely valuable. It gave me just the perfect overview of this emerging field of communications that I needed and offered a lot of food for thought. Mike delivered the course in an engaging and dynamic way.” June, 2008 - Andrea Matyas

“I attended Mike’s Marcom Pre-conference workshop on Social Media Marketing and was very impressed, both by his knowledge of the subject and by his ability to convey it in a way that we can understand it and adapt it to our needs. If the opportunity presented itself, I would hire him in a heartbeat to come present at our department.” June, 2008 - Alain Lemay

“Mike is a serious Marketer in every sense of the role. He practices what he preaches and he has honed his expertise in Web 2.0 and never stops learning and sharing. He’s passionate – advice would be to book his time – he is clear on the tools, listens to objectives and is all about strategy. Don’t delay.” May, 2008 -Claire Mills

“Mike is an amazing marketing professional. His keen sense of vision, commitment and understanding of all aspects of marketing and communications makes him a huge asset for any team he works with. He has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in social networking, Web 2.0 and applies it literally, in everything he does for our team or the client. His ability to write, create, verbalize, visualize, conceptualize and modernize marketing ideas and concepts makes his contribution extremely valuable to projects he develops himself or works on with others. A keen wit, a strong entrepreneurial sense, the ability to generate revenue and his “I am always learning” commitment to honing is personal marketing portfolio is one of his greatest assets. I would not hesitate in bringing Mike in on any marketing assignment, especially if you want a committed individual that “does more than is asked” every time” February, 2008 -Kensel Tracy

“Mike provided a fantastic presentation to our federal-provincial-territorial working group on social media marketing.

Everyone said he was the best part about our two day workshop.” October, 2008 - Sarah-Lee Richardson

Mike doesn’t just help you dip your toes into the vast ocean of valuable information on the Web – he makes you want to jump in, play around and get as involved as possible to get the best ROI for your time and efforts. His simple approach to demystifying Web 2.0 walks you through the best way to set yourself up to use the Web to your advantage, personally and professionally. My takeaways: information, tools, hints and inspiration. Thanks, Mike!” November, 2008 -Treasa Labaj

“I have never considered myself to be someone that is interested in the ‘geeky’ side of the web, but am very passionate about marketing and trying out the newest and hopefully most creative avenues of marketing. After Mike’s presentation, I feel like I’ve been reborn!…I came back to work and have convinced my group to let me prepare a presentation/proposal of what I can do to help promote Road Safety through the use of social media.” October, 2008 - Rachael Dolan

“The Armchair Discussions program at the Canada School of Public service was pleased to welcome Mr. Mike Kujawski as our guest speaker on April 24, 2008 to present on Social Media. As requested, we received all the necessary documentation from Mr. Kujawski in a timely manner and his expertise was noted and appreciated throughout the process of preparing the event. Mr. Kujawski was very professional during the event; he was able to tailor his presentation to meet the needs of the audience, public service employees. A total of 220 participants attended Mr. Kujawski’s presentation, both in-person and online. In order to respond to the demand, we decide to rebroadcast his presentation on July 29, 2008, which attracted about 130 online attendees. Mr. Kujawski’s knowledge and enthusiasm have made the events a success. As a result, the Canada School of Public Service’s Armchair Discussions program has decide to partner with Mr. Kujawski for the 2008-2009 season, inviting him to lead a series of Armchair Discussions. As the Program Manager for the Armchair Discussions, I was very satisfied with the services and information Mr. Kujawski was able to provide public service employees participating in our events. I would strongly recommend Mr. Kujawski and look forward to working with him for upcoming Armchair events.” August, 2008 - Dean Landry

“Mike’s social media workshop was presented in an informative, upbeat and highly engaging manner that combined lecturing with hands-on exercises, group work and relevant examples. Mike uses incredible slides and videos to illustrate his verbal points visually rather than relying on traditional “bullets” which often lead to slide fatigue. It is clear that Mike is extremely passionate about his niche field of Social Media Marketing in the Public and Non-Profit Sectors. He manages to pass on his enthusiasm to the audience through his speaking abilities and ability to simplify complex terms and concepts. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for comprehensive training in this rapidly evolving field. We have continued to use Mike’s expertise ourselves here at CATSA by contracting him to do Social Media Marketing training for the rest of our organization over the course of September 2008.” August, 2008 - Guylaine LeCouteur

“I have talked to many people who were at our national united way conference, and the feedback for Mike’s closing keynote presentation has been excellent.  Our participants felt that Mike made the content and all the hype about social media relevant and accessible to them and the United Way context.  This type of feedback is a sure sign of success.  The work Mike put into his session to make the content come alive and relate it to United Way really showed.  I really hope we have a chance to work together again with Mike in the future.” April, 2009 - Dan Clement

“Mike Kujawski gave a full-day training workshop (awareness 101) to our staff on Web 2.0/Social Media Marketing. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend (I was sick), but all the feedback that I’ve received so far from our staff was extremely positive — no negative comments at all, apart the fact that there was unfortunately not enough time to cover all the information. It is still a bit to soon to see how beneficial it was for our organization, but from what I’ve heard, it was a “major eye opening” for participants and several of them have expressed an interest to deepen their knowledge about social media and to try to explore how they could apply what they’ve learned to their work — since we work for the government, we now have to try to overcome some obstacles (several sites are blocked). Overall, people were very pleased with Mr. Kujawski’s expertise and strong knowledge of social media as well as his generosity, speaking skills, and his contagious passion. One suggestion that we received from our staff is that it would have been good to be able to “try” some of the social medias (e.g. have a demonstration of how the main social medias work) and also to invite managers and decision makers to the training. Therefore, we are currently exploring what we can do to invite Mr. Kujawski again for an advanced session (201).” April, 2009 - Benoît Robillard
