Reimagining Communication for the Modern World

Alice Shikina is a powerful speaker, negotiation coach, podcast host, and founder of the Shikina Negotiation Academy. With a background in acting and mediation, Alice empowers professionals, couples, and leaders to communicate with clarity, confidence, and purpose. From delivering TED-style talks at major events like Toastmasters’ 100th International Convention to teaching high-stakes negotiation to executive teams, Alice is on a mission to transform how people connect in the post-pandemic world.

Breakthrough

From Speaker to Recognized Thought Leader

Alice knew she had the voice and vision — what she needed was visibility. She wanted to move beyond word-of-mouth referrals and small-stage opportunities and step into national conversations on communication, negotiation, and leadership. Her goal: to land bigger speaking gigs, attract media interviews, and build her reputation as the go-to expert in her space.

Challenge

Standing Out in a Noisy Industry

In a saturated market of speakers, authors, and coaches, Alice’s challenge was cutting through the noise. Her ability to mix emotional intelligence with tactical negotiation skills was unique, but the media didn’t know that yet. She needed third-party validation, a polished narrative, and consistent coverage that positioned her as both credible and compelling.

MAXIMUM VISIBILITY

Positioning Alice Shikina as a National Voice in Communication Mastery

Pressiqa rolled out a high-impact PR campaign tailored to elevate Alice’s brand across digital and traditional media platforms.

Strategize

We redefined Alice’s story — not just as a negotiation coach, but as a dynamic thought leader blending performance, psychology, and conflict resolution. Her upcoming book and podcast became anchors for press-worthy narratives.

Connect

Using Pressiqa’s global media network, we secured Alice placements in top-tier publications such as CEO Weekly, NY Weekly, Influencer Daily, and The Influential CEO. This gave her instant credibility among decision-makers, event planners, and leadership communities.

Craft

We designed human-interest angles and media pitches around timely themes — negotiating in post-COVID relationships, conflict management for hybrid teams, and how acting techniques enhance leadership presence.

Amplify

Every feature was paired with professionally designed social posters, branded email content, and caption-ready posts, enabling Alice to maximize exposure across LinkedIn, Instagram, and her speaker outreach channels.

The Results: Alice’s Brand Transformation

In under 30 days, Alice experienced a measurable surge in visibility, impact, and opportunities.

  • 540% Increase in Online Brand Visibility: Major uptick in search engine mentions, website visits, and media backlinks from high-authority platforms.
  • 250% Increase in Speaker Inquiries: After her media features went live, Alice saw a spike in outreach from event coordinators, podcasts, and training requests.
