DEPTH Speaking Information

DEPTH is a group of like-minded partners focused on improving and enhancing the experience of speaking – as a speaker, as a company looking for subject-matter experts, or as a keynote contributor looking to get more exposure and opportunities. The idea for DEPTH began with starting our own speaker’s bureau, but treating it differently. Rather than simply pair a speaker with a venue, we would be much more hands on in the process. Not only would we negotiate contracts and advocate for the speaker, but also help train them in any areas they were weak in as well as handling their administrative pieces like creating promotional videos and handouts for them. The process grew organically, until we discovered a whole new way to advocate for speakers. This process would lead us to creating The In-DEPTH Experience. The In-DEPTH Experience utilizes a sophisticated tool to pinpoint exact processes in businesses that need fine-tuning. The tool requires us to have a bank of subject matter experts to deploy into companies in a similar role to a consultant. This is something we already had access to, so it served as a logical progression for our young company. Utilizing this tool enabled us to follow through with our mission to get speakers in front of more audiences that they would thrive in front of. As we grew our team of subject matter experts, we began to notice that the realm of public speaking was far outdated. Speaker bureaus are simply a “middle-man” for placing speakers into venues, without much knowledge into what the speaker offers and what the organization is looking for. When we went looking for speaker advocates, the playing field suddenly looked bare. There is a need all across the country for companies providing the services we do, yet very few are providing these resources. DEPTH now found its place to set up camp.
