If you want to get booked more often—and more easily—you need a speaker media kit. It’s your all-in-one portfolio that showcases your experience, expertise, and professionalism to event organizers and podcast hosts. Whether you’re just starting out or already a seasoned speaker, a media kit gives you an edge in a competitive industry.
In this article, we’ll show you exactly what to include in your speaker media kit, how to use it to get more gigs, and how your SpeakerPAGE can serve as your ultimate digital one-sheet.
A speaker media kit is a curated collection of materials that introduces you to event planners, podcast hosts, and media outlets. It highlights your qualifications, presentation topics, and credibility in a way that’s easy to review and share.
It’s often confused with a press kit or speaker one-sheet:
Speaker One-Sheet: A one-page overview of your speaking topics and credentials.
Press Kit: A broader media-focused kit for PR purposes, with press releases and media coverage.
Speaker Media Kit: Combines both, giving a comprehensive view of your brand as a speaker.
Pro Tip: Your SpeakerPAGE on SpeakerHUB functions as a dynamic, always-updated one-sheet. It automatically showcases your bio, talk topics, testimonials, and past speaking gigs—making it easy for organizers to evaluate and book you.
Your media kit can be digital (PDF or link) or print-ready. Either way, it’s a critical asset when pitching yourself to organizers.
Here’s what every effective speaker media kit should contain:
Include both a short and extended version. Highlight your unique value, experience, and areas of expertise. Not sure how to write it? Use SpeakerGPT to instantly generate a professional bio that impresses.
Add 2-3 headshots in different styles: on-stage, formal, and candid. Make sure they’re clear and downloadable.
List your signature talks with compelling titles and short descriptions. This helps organizers quickly match you with relevant events.
Include a direct link to your SpeakerPAGE, which gives organizers more information and helps you show up in search engines.
Mention key events, conferences, podcasts, and media appearances. Add event logos, recordings, or links when available.
Quote testimonials from event organizers or audience members. Want more? Use SpeakerQR to collect reviews after each gig.
Make it easy for people to book you. Include your email, phone number (optional), and links to your calendar or booking form.
Want to go the extra mile? Add these:
Social media stats (follower count, engagement rates)
A downloadable one-sheet version for quick reference (optional if using SpeakerPAGE)
Press features or published articles
Link to a sample presentation or showreel
Your speaker media kit should be easy to access and share. Here’s where to keep it:
Upload it to your SpeakerPAGE
Add it to your personal website
Include it in pitch emails or follow-ups
