Speaking Office represents both established speakers seeking dedicated commercial management of their speaking career, and emerging voices we help build from the ground up.

individually focused.

At Speaking Office, we firmly believe no two speakers are the same. That's why our approach is tailored to each speaker: established names who require the commercial side of their speaking career managed, and emerging voices who we help build from the ground up.

Every partnership is shaped around the individual speaker’s expertise and personal and professional circumstances, with the same level of dedicated, hands-on management throughout, from strategic positioning and day-to-day management, to maximising opportunities and brand management.

frequently asked questions.

  • Speaking Office is a speaker management company, not a speaker bureau. We manage speakers' careers long term, rather than operating as a marketplace focused on individual bookings. We do not cross-sell; if a speaker is unavailable, we don't offer alternative speakers from our roster.

  • Yes. While we work closely with speaker bureaus worldwide, we also work directly with event organisers and corporate clients who want to book a specific speaker from our roster.

  • Speaker management provides a single, strategic point of oversight across a speaker's entire career. Rather than operating in isolation or on a case-by-case basis, we coordinate positioning, brand strategy, pricing, and content to ensure consistency and long-term sustainability.

  • Speaker management benefits established speakers and emerging talent alike. In both cases, we treat speaking as a dedicated discipline, rather than a side activity.

  • There is no fixed threshold. We look for a clear area of expertise and a distinctive voice, backed by either a proven track record or genuine potential for demand. Fit and commitment matter more than profile alone.

  • We choose carefully. We look for genuine expertise, an authentic voice, and real market opportunity, and we need to be the right fit for them, regardless of what stage their speaking or wider career is at.

  • Before entering into an agreement, we take time to explore the opportunity to work together, including running strategic sessions to align on goals and direction. Our standard management agreement runs for two years, reflecting our focus on sustained partnership rather than short-term representation.

  • We manage the business side: enquiries, bookings, commercial negotiations, content positioning, marketing support, invoicing, and logistics. Speakers remain focused on delivery, thought leadership, and their wider professional work.

  • Speaking Office operates on a commission basis, earning a percentage on confirmed speaking engagement fees rather than charging upfront fees or a monthly retainer. This ensures alignment between our success and our speakers’ success.

  • Strategy sits at the core of what we do. We work with each speaker to define

    positioning, identify the right opportunities, and set a clear direction for their speaking career.

  • We operate globally, managing international enquiries, contracts, and logistics. Strategy is adapted for each region, accounting for cultural context and local fee structures, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • We continuously track market trends, audience needs, and industry shifts, helping speakers refine their content, update their positioning, and expand into new areas as demand evolves.
