Lectures & Speaking Engagements

Shane Stirling earned his stripes building the foundation of Toronto's now explosive music scene. Initially breaking ground alongside Drake, he captured heavy-rotation placements on music video countdowns. Helping the upstart earn cultural dominance through then untapped blog co-signs, garnering a spot as the first-ever unsigned artist to premier on the iconic BET 106 & Park.

Showing through his speaking events and creative work is Stirling's exceptional ability to contextualize social and cultural phenomena through a deeply authentic lens. A gifted storyteller, Stirling is fast becoming a sought-after speaker. These sessions emphasize cultural currents, process, foundational studies, and understanding of how truth as the central theme of authentic storytelling, design, photo, and video is translated across print, digital, and physical space.

Co-Labs & Consultations

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a notion into something more. Or maybe you have a product to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference. I’m available as a mind-share partner for brand ideation to redraft, reinvigorate, and redirect concepts —enhancing and unearthing beauty and potency with innovative ways to help forward-thinking brands break through and make meaningful connections with consumers. In addition to working with brands, I love collaborating with agencies along with in-house teams to create or consult on all scales of projects.
