Daryl Fielding created Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, one of the most recognised marketing campaigns in history, and now brings three decades of brand strategy expertise to boards and businesses globally. She is the founder of OXYS, author of The Brand Book, and a portfolio non-executive director. Daryl has held managing director positions at Vodafone UK and Mondelez Europe, where she led brand strategy for portfolios worth over $9 billion, including Cadbury, Milka, and Hellmann's. She co-founded The Marketing Academy Foundation, a social mobility charity, and currently chairs First Give whilst serving on boards including ACCA and the Academy of Ancient Music. Her work has been featured in Channel 4's documentary Madwomen and is exhibited in The Museum of Brands.

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

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

Not necessarily.

Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Can I book podcast guests through PepTalk?

Yes. PepTalk books commercial podcast guests every week of the year. A high-profile voice can boost your podcast's reach and deliver ideas to your audience at scale.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
