The right voice for every room.
Keynote speakers, sports personalities, and entertainment curated for a feeling the room remembers.
Real stages.
Real rooms. Real experiences.
For companies staging their biggest moments and the talent who deserve the right stage, CTD is the speaker agency that finds the true fit.
Voices that frame the moment and give your audience something to carry home.
EVERY ENGAGEMENT STARTS WITH THE GOAL FOR YOUR EVENT.
There's no roster to browse here, on purpose. CTD is the only speaker agency that curates a specific fit for every event, advocating for the talent's fit, not just filling a slot.
No fixed roster
Every recommendation is curated for your event and your audience. Nothing is pulled from a standing list.
Curated attention
A relationship, not a transaction. We understand the room before we recommend anyone for it.
Better fit over safest
We'll make the case for the unexpected choice when it serves your event better than the reliably fine one.
Two-sided advocacy
We look out for the talent's fit too. The voice on your stage wants to be there and knows why.
"We count on Richard to help us deliver on our business objectives and goals, and he always exceeds expectations."
SERVING BOTH SIDES OF THE STAGE.
Richard has such skill at picking the best talent for our shows. The feedback we hear at each and every show is how amazing the talent has been on stage and the genuine connection attendees feel to them.
FOR COMPANIES HOSTING EVENTS
You're responsible for one or two flagship events a year and your biggest moments deserve the right voice. The speaker reflects your judgment in front of leadership and thousands of attendees. The biggest fear isn't a speaker who bombs. It's technically fine but doesn't fit. We prove we understood the room.
Tell us about your eventFOR TALENT WITH A STORY TO TELL
You have a real crossover story and real substance. You don't want to disappear into a massive roster or grind out bookings alone. We advocate with your story in front of the right rooms and open doors you couldn't reach solo. A partner, not just a booker.
Introduce yourselfBottom line, as the speaker I was delighted by the entire event thanks to his planning, pre-event work, and cool ability to deal with factors that couldn’t have been foreseen. More important, the client only wonderful things to say about my appearance. I could brag it was all because of my magnificent performance, but the truth is I wouldn’t have been there if Richard hadn’t seen that I would be the right speaker for the client’s needs. I’ve been a busy speaker for 25 years, and I can tell you Richard is the real deal.
