Peter is a brilliant, dedicate entrepreneur and one of the most creative people I know. He is passionate about all he does and translates that energy into quality results for his clients or a creative new business idea.

Airtroductions has seen magnificent growth since its inception and I have no doubt that Peter's vision will turn it into a very profitable endeavor for everyone involved.

what can i say? peter is a genius. anyone who thinks of an equivalency for online dating....but for AIRLINE TRAVEL.... is in another league entirely.

i couldn't figure out how to recommend peter as a friend. i haven't worked with him, but i've seen him work. he's a "top 30 under 30", knows more people than there are on the island of manhattan, and moves at lightning speed. he's an innovator and simply understands a lot of things that the rest of us are still looking up in wikipedia.

if you need anything or think you have an idea you want to make happen, this is the guy to talk to.

As a subscriber to his thrice-daily Help a Reporter Out newsletter, I have been very impressed by Peter's energy and enthusiasm. He gets the morning edition done while most folks are still sleeping, and somehow manages to continue publishing in spite of a whirlwind schedule of travel and meetings. He really likes this service that he provides, and the ballooning number of subscribers bears that out.

I am a member in good standing of the Peter Shankman is so cool, it's scary club. I'm not even sure what he does, but he is usually broadcasting it across his network of over 11,000 media sources and journalists. He's a matchmaking newsmaker. He's a newsmatcher. He's everywhere and yet, somewhere else. He is, simply, The Shankman.

Peter is a PR God. There are few who come close to his ability to "make things happen" in an era where the press is too jaded to notice much. I'd recommend him HIGHLY.

Peter is one of those rare individuals that lives a life we all envy. He zooms down the New York streets in his Segway and teaches his peers not to be afraid of challenges in life. But, more importantly, he encourages us all to drink more YooHoo!

Peter is an absolute magician when it comes to PR and maximizing the effects of PR. And he somehow does it all in a fresh and creative manner while staying under budget. An excellent PR professional to work with and I hope to be able to do so again in the future.

Peter has proven himself to be a public relations guru in every aspect of the phrase. A full-fledged marketing communications genius - his firm (The Geek Factory) has time and time again proven itself as a top New York boutique public relations firm for propelling small companies into the limelight.
