Mike Hernandez, founder
Mike Hernandez founded Hop On Stages after years working behind the camera and behind the inbox for professional speakers.
For a number of years Mike worked with Keith Ferrazzi, the #1 New York Times bestselling author and executive team coach. In Keith's own words, Mike "created hundreds of pieces of content, edited my speaker, my podcast reel, and got some real viral runaway traction", including a video with about 700,000 views on Instagram, while Keith's Instagram following grew from 26,000 to 70,000. Mike worked on the social strategy for two of Keith's book launches and ran cold email lead generation campaigns targeting CIOs of major corporations, which Keith says delivered "somewhere close to 81 qualified leads".
That combination, story-first video editing plus targeted outreach, is what Hop On Stages does for every client.

What we believe
- A reel is evidence, not decoration. Planners book speakers who can prove they hold a real room. Every cut we make serves that proof.
- Flat prices. One reel, one price ($3,000), paid half up front and half when you approve.
- Honesty over hype. We do not guarantee bookings, we do not fake audiences, and on our comparison pages we say when another company is a better fit for you.
- Small on purpose. We cap how many speakers we take each month so turnaround stays at 2 to 3 weeks.

Keith Ferrazzi, Nick Sonnenberg, Kian Gohar, Sam Silverstein, Martinus Evans, Courtney Clark, Mike Domitrz, Paula Houlihan, Scott Zimmer, Doug Noll, David Woods Bartley, Steve Taubman, Dr. Kathy Gruver and 50+ speakers in all. See the work.
