Got your sights set on landing those ~ dream ~ speaking gigs? The kind that pays the big bucks, but also:

• Gives you instant credibility as an expert
• Expands your reach and your brand’s visibility
• Puts you on big stages that elevate your reputation
• Creates new growth opportunities for your business
• Helps you generate warm leads and grow your client base

If you answered yes, this one’s for you. Whether your goal is to get paid to speak or to leverage speaking to grow your business, your speaker press kit is your golden ticket to those life-changing, confidence-boosting, career-making speaking opportunities.

But—and it’s a big but—only if you’ve got the right ingredients in there. After years of working with professional speakers and designing dozens of high-converting press kits for high-profile speakers and New York Times bestselling authors, I’ve seen firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to landing the gig.

3 Things You Must Include In Your Speaker Press Kit

Today, I’m breaking down the three non-negotiables your speaker press kit must have if you want to stand out from the crowd and get more “YES” replies from event organizers.

1. A Killer Opening Section

Your press kit needs to grab attention from the get-go. I’m talking about a hook that’s so irresistible it pulls them right in. Showcase why you’re the perfect fit for their event and leave them with no doubt that you’re the speaker they need. Start with a strong headline that speaks to your unique value as a speaker. Follow that up with a compelling bio that hits all the right notes.

2. Tailored Topics & Offerings

This is where you outline your speaking topics. But here’s the thing—don’t just list your topics. Frame them in a way that speaks directly to the event planner’s needs. What problems do you solve? What transformations can you create for their audience? This is the section that needs to shine because it’s where you’ll sell yourself as the right fit for their event.

3. Powerful Testimonials

People trust people, and nothing builds trust faster than testimonials. Include quotes from past attendees or event organizers that highlight not just how great you were, but the impact you had on people. Testimonials can be the tipping point that makes an organizer say, “We need this speaker.”

Now if you’ve read this far, it’s safe to assume you understand just how important it is to have a well-crafted speaker press kit to pitch yourself for speaking opportunities, right? What you may not know is that creating your own speaker press kit from scratch can take days. (And sometimes even weeks!)

And as Sweet Brown would say: “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

I spent months perfecting what I’m about to share with you so that YOU can design your own gorgeous, high-converting speaker press kit in just a few hours.

Here’s what’s in the all new Speaker Kit from Digital Brand Kit:

Speaker Press Kit (28 pages)

This not-so-humble press kit makes pitching yourself (dare we say?) fun. We did all the overthinking for you and baked in strategic content prompts inspired by our 7-figure speaking clients who know what it takes to land the gig. Choose from 5 cover page options and then follow the template to whip together a press kit that showcases your bio, origin story, signature programs, testimonials, podcast appearances, social profiles, book(s), thought leadership, on-stage experience, and speaking fees.

Speaker Slides (100+ slides)

Get the tissues ready because your audience will be drooling over these gorgeous, expertly-designed slides. This deck gives you intro slides, framework slides, data visualization slides, quote slides, creative slides, application slides, and ending slides so you can bring your presentation to life in just a few clicks.

Speaker Rider (1-pager, 2 options)

Proactively communicate all those fuzzy speaking logistics with this stylish Speaker Rider. It’s pure plug-and-play—so just follow the prompts to make sure none of the crucial details fall through the cracks or become last-minute panic emails to the event coordinator. Includes requirements for your A/V check, microphone requirements, stage set-up, screen placement, slides and handouts, rights to materials, day-of logistics, scheduling, travel arrangements, photography, recording permissions, recording distribution, and more.

Speaker Agreement (5 pages)

Make the gig official with this branded Speaker Agreement. It’s fill-in-the-blanks and includes clauses for all the critical details that speakers need to think about: services, compensation, expenses, recording and material rights, cancellation, postponement, IP, and confidentiality.

Social Graphics (14 graphics)

An easy way to grow your speaking career is to tell people you’re a speaker. (Crazy concept, right!?) With these social graphics you can show your followers what to expect when you take the stage, what past and upcoming speaking events are on your calendar, and why they would be out of their minds NOT to hire you for their next event

Our Speaker Press Kit template is truly the crown jewel of this kit. It’s not just beautiful—it’s strategic, optimized for conversion, and loaded with copy prompts to help you create your speaker press kit quickly and with complete confidence.

Here’s what Executive Coach & Speaker Whitney Faires says about it:

The Speaker Kit is available in all 12 design collections for only $795. Assuming your evening is free, you could buy yours now and start sending out your speaker press kit before you go to bed tonight. (And then finish your slide deck in the morning!)
