A New Agency Time For Change
We amplify the voices of world-changers.
Water always finds a way. It shapes, moves and changes the landscape, drop by drop. So does a great voice.
Smidswater is a boutique speakers bureau for people with something to say that matters. Thinkers, makers and doers with a story that changes the room, and the people in it. We make sure those voices find the right stage: the conference, the boardroom or the audience where they make a difference.
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 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.
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.
