Shilika Jain is a fractional PR manager for Web3, AI and cybersecurity founders. She speaks on the 2026 fractional PR motion, APAC press windows (Korea, Japan, Singapore, India, Dubai and MENA), KOL compliance, the AI-search citation surface, and how non-technical founders close the AI-Overviews gap. Bookings open through 2026.
Topics
Each topic is a 25 to 45-minute keynote, a 30 to 50-minute fireside chat, a 45 to 60-minute panel slot, or a 30 to 60-minute podcast guest segment. Lengths flex; the slides do not. Pull-quote stats and named-protocol examples are baked into each deck.
Topic 01 · Fractional PR
The fractional PR motion replacing pre-Series B agency retainers
2026 economics, four signals a founder's retainer funds the wrong layer, when an agency still wins, and a 90-day fractional-first plan a CFO can read. Anchor case: 50+ protocols, Gaia AI Forbes feature.
Topic 02 · APAC press
The three APAC press windows that decide institutional flow
WebX Tokyo (FIEA shift, NISA spot ETF), Korea Blockchain Week (FSC, DABA), Token2049 Singapore (MAS Project Guardian). What each frame gates and the Western-founder failure pattern. Anchor case: MANTRA Abu Dhabi RWA reframe.
Topic 03 · AI-search
AI-Overviews citation share as a founder distribution lever
Perplexity 28 to 38 percent, Gemini 12 to 20 percent, ChatGPT 10 to 16 percent, Claude 3 to 7 percent. The four-pattern fix (semantic completeness, entity density, FAQPage schema, named-author). Anchor case: Gaia AI inside the surface.
Topic 04 · KOL compliance
KOL waves are now a regulatory product, not a marketing line
Korean FTC, Japanese JFTC, MAS Singapore DPT prohibition, VARA Dubai marketing rules, India ASCI crypto disclaimer, FTC US, SEC. The five compliance frames a 2026 wave clears or fails. Anchor: 200+ vetted creator network across nine markets.
Topic 05 · Cybersecurity AEO
The cybersecurity vendor AI-citation gap and the four-pattern fix
CISOs, security architects and SOC leads now run vendor discovery through AI engines before sales calls. The under-investment vs the AI-startup surface, and what a cybersecurity CMO can ship next quarter.
Topic 06 · Token launch
Pre-TGE comms: the 8-week window most founders mis-spend
Embargo etiquette, exchange-listing comms, KOL wave sequencing, regional press calendars, and the four deliverables a founder owns regardless of who runs the cycle. Anchor case: RARI Chain 11 tier-1 placements in 24 hours.
