Our Team
No matter how big the budget or how small the need, Jaki makes sure all her clients receive the star treatment and she and the team are there from beginning to end.
Jaki booked and had many requests for keynote speakers for her clients in the areas of business, celebrities, entertainment, health, fitness, sports, and motivation that she started The Las Vegas Speakers Bureau.
She has cast 1000's of movies, music videos and television shows, as well as national and international commercials and direct-response infomercials, including the one for the Miracle Ear campaign with Patrick Duffy.
Jaki also cast the voiceovers for the Kardashian skin care line, and conceived the idea and put together the players for Suzanne Somers pajama line, and has booked everyone from Kevin Costner to Andy Garcia, Jennifer Lopez and others for Italian television shows.
Quite an accomplishment for a young girl who left New Jersey in 1976 and came to Las Vegas with big dreams, a lot of determination, and only $300 in her pocket. Jaki built a multi-million-dollar company and now works with many Fortune 500 companies such as Nike, Caterpillar, American Express, AT&T, Canon USA, IBM Golden Circle, Longines Swiss Watchmakers, Caesars Palace, Wynn Hotel, Miller Brewing Company, and Texas Instruments.
