About Us | Our Team
Daniel Warner, Managing Partner
Daniel's 5+ years of campus marketing experience coupled with his passion for working with students and corporate partners began during his days at the University of Western Ontario. Daniel hosted over 200 student events, was the President of the largest fraternity in Canada and founder of Canada's first online student events network.
Early on, Daniel recognized the need for supporting students through corporate sponsorship. His "wow" moment came in his first year at Western when he landed a $15,000 Coors Light campus marketing contract right from his residence room!
Upon graduating from Western with a Bachelor of Management studies degree, he founded Canadian Student Marketing with the encouragement of several prominent figures including Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, himself. Featured corporate clients include Apple, Schick, Rogers, BMO, Bluenotes, Pizza Pizza, iTravel2000, LavaLife, H&M, and many more.
Daniel has received recognition as one of the 2008 Smirnoff Top 5 Under 25 in Toronto and 2007 ACE CIBC Student Entrepreneur of the Year awards for Ontario and Central Canada and as a Top 5 All-Canadian finalist. His appearance on CBC's Dragon's Den, and numerous newspaper and magazine appearances, have served as a huge personal and professional push. He is also an active community leader having raised over $75,000 over the past several years through his philanthropic efforts.
