We believe speaking builds thought leadership and we’re passionate about connecting our clients to the right audiences so they can inspire others. Every time a client steps onto a stage, they’re building a platform to stand for, and we’re the driver that enables them to share their story and message.
how speaker management works.
Taking a strategic and targeted approach, we connect speakers to our network of thousands of events and podcasts. Our clients have hit the stage at premier events like SXSW, Web Summit, Slush, Shoptalk, Grace Hopper, HLTH, TechCrunch Disrupt, and Money 2020; as well as leading podcasts like Inc. Founders Project, 20 Minute VC, and the SaaStr Podcast.
We work with you to learn how you want to position yourself and your overarching communications strategy. Together, we create a speaking platform with themes and topics that showcase your expertise and experience, and align with the audiences you want to reach.
We use our extensive relationships in the events space to source speaking engagements that will position you as a thought leader in your industry. We conduct ongoing research to ensure we're identifying the best podcasts and conferences for your brand, and stay on top of important deadlines.
We manage your speaking program from start to finish. We'll coordinate logistics, share attendee insights, and stay in touch with event organizers so you can focus on stepping on stage and your team can focus on the other elements of your PR strategy.
