Alvin Owusu's biography

At a glance

  • Co-founder of The Advantage Group, aiding BAME/low-income students
  • Awarded Point of Light by UK Prime Minister for social impact
  • Mentor and coach in debating/communication for at-risk students

Alvin Owusu co-founded The Advantage Group (TAG), a social enterprise that aims to transform the lives of young people from underrepresented backgrounds. TAG has delivered workshops to over 2000 students from BAME and/or low-income communities and has partnered with global brands such as Google, Facebook, and Red Bull. In recognition of their efforts, TAG received a Point of Light Award from the UK Prime Minister.


Alvin grew up in Hackney, London, on the 'murder mile' and witnessed firsthand the impact of low income and being from a BAME background on one's life. This experience motivated him to create opportunities for positive change.


Alongside his work with organizations like BAFTA and the BBC, Alvin mentors and teaches students at high risk of expulsion from school the art of debating and effective communication. He's a coach who champions providing a voice for the voiceless and creating opportunities for all.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
