Meet Danielle Takacs
The Experience You Need
Danielle Takacs created Humber Strategies in order to enhance the business and social opportunities available to her home region in South Central Ontario. Takacs started her career of advocacy at a young age, and turned a love of politics and the legislative process into a passionate career. Prior to working in government consultancy, Takacs worked as a staffer at Queen’s Park and on Parliament Hill. Here, she liaised between constituency matters and the press, and worked on furthering policies that would improve the economies and quality of life in her home communities and province. She has also spent a considerable amount of time working in the field of academic research and writing, with her favourite tenure being with the Toronto First Duty Project.
Danielle has served for several years as a Vice-President and senior executive at leading public affairs organizations and has has represented and worked with a diverse range of clients including women’s shelters, cattle farmers, policemen, pipe manufacturers, environmental, indigenous and educational organizations, amongst others.
Danielle has also organized small and large academic, political and thinktank conferences, networking events and panel discussion events. These events have covered a wide range of topics (e.g., astronomy, entertainment industry, finance, economics, mental health, foreign affairs, peace and conflict, politics) and have always met their objectives in terms of audience and messages conveyed.
A degree in conflict negotiation helps to enhance this belief and also helps with building relationships and alliances.
Danielle has a rich and diversified background with the media. Not only is she a national award winning blogger on political affairs, she has served as a columnist for her local daily newspaper, the Brantford Expositor, and as a community election reporter for the Toronto Star. She has been a guest on televised programs for RogersTV, CityTV and CTV to discuss politics and she has received extensive media training.
Takacs, who has run as a political federal candidate herself, knows the ups and downs and ins and outs of campaigning and is pleased to offer her advice and suggestions to fellow candidates and their teams. In 2015, she was selected as Best Local Politician by thousands of readers of the Brant News. Takacs enjoys speaking on the topics of women in politics or election campaigns and welcomes invitations to speak at related events and conferences.
Takacs has served four years on two municipal consultancy boards that are appointed by Brantford City Council. In this role, she advised staff and council on matters related to the entertainment and theatre sector as well as on large infrastructure investments valued over $1 million. She enjoys learning from the peoples of the neighbouring New Credit and Six Nations Territories and appreciates all initiatives that contribute to seeing their communities prosper.
Danielle strives to also conduct business with every opportunity in French in order to grow and maintain her French language skills.
