Meet the Founder
As a wide-eyed toddler, Dan was captivated by parks, rides, and the thrill of adventure, always vying for the front of the queue.
Dan’s early passion for excitement and adventure set the stage for an extraordinary career in the creative arts. As a teenager, he mastered martial arts and competed in semi-professional sports. In his twenties, he delved into the world of DJing, performing on global stages, while honing his skills in event marketing by promoting some of the most thrilling festivals worldwide. Now, at 34, as the founder of Manakin Marketing, Dan helps events around the globe achieve sell-out success.
