A New AgencyTime For Change
Idealistic, perhaps. Naive, certainly not.
The speaking market is oversaturated. Between all the established names, talented new voices don't get their platform. This is a reality that our founder, Noah Smits, knew all too well. Despite his talent and membership at a large speakers bureau, the desired bookings didn't come. The frustrating insight? He booked them himself.
After countless conversations with fellow speakers and booking agents, the conclusion was inevitable: the market cries out for a new player. Someone with genuine attention to unique positioning and actual growth of talented speakers.
The spark caught fire. With a rich background as a professional artist and founder of a successful marketing and PR agency that helped launch successful entertainers, Noah knew: strategies used in the entertainment sector are the key.
Why not apply these proven techniques to launch and accelerate the careers of speakers?
Our Mission: Making Impact
Idealistic, perhaps. Naive, certainly not.
Smidswater was founded with one clear goal: to amplify the voices of potential world-changers.
We translate proven methods from the entertainment and music sector directly to the speaking market. This ensures that the most beautiful stories break through the noise and that events can find raw talent for a truly different lineup.
New to the market: our exclusive speaker app
For speakers, real-time insight into their schedule is not a luxury, but a necessity. We experienced this problem ourselves, which led to the birth of our unique mobile app.
Where existing solutions for the entertainment sector fall short of the specific needs of speakers, we have developed an app that guarantees complete peace of mind.
Everything real-time, Everything centralized
Our app centralizes everything: from detailed booking overviews and travel schedules to seamless calendar synchronization.
Moreover, the app gives our speakers direct, real-time control over their online visibility. They can adjust their website profile, presentations, media kit, photos, videos, and reviews at any time, or take their profile online or offline with one touch of a button.
The Smidswater. App is currently exclusive to our speakers and forms a crucial part of our service, with plans for future licensing.
Our dedication to happy faces
Personal Approach
Both speakers and organizers deserve the best attention for their creative and organizational talent. At Smidswater you don't work with fast sellers, but with passionate people who want to create beautiful events.
Experienced with Live Events
With our background in helping promote and organize live events, we can effectively work with organizations to realize the best lineup and its promotion.
Technological Advantage
With current technological changes, there are no more excuses not to streamline processes and realize bookings from request to applause. Our Smidswater App is tangible proof of our mission to elevate our industry to a higher level.
Talent Curators
Because we don't have thousands of speakers in our roster, we are constantly looking for new talent to enrich the speaking market. This is how organizations find the rough diamonds through our agency. Tomorrow's star speakers.
