About

This Isn't a Speaker Bureau

Spoken Artists is not a speaker bureau. It’s a filter.

We exclusively represent speakers who are in the trenches — actually doing the work they talk about. No theorists. No branding playbooks. No recycled keynotes from ten years ago.

Our roster is intentionally small, ridiculously selective, and 100% exclusive to us. You won’t find our speakers anywhere else — and you won’t hear about them from other agencies.

We don’t pitch polished bios or flashy decks. We connect you with real leaders, disruptors, creators, builders — people who show up, say it like it is, and leave audiences thinking, feeling, and wanting more.

Our Founder

“I started Spoken Artists because the industry felt like it was running on autopilot — same speakers, same pitches, same safe choices.

After years of booking thousands of talks, I knew there was a better way. I wanted to build something with taste, edge, and actual standards.

I handpick every speaker we work with. Not because they’re polished — but because they’ve lived it, and they know how to move a room.

If I wouldn’t bet my name on them, they’re not on the roster.”

Who We Are

"An amazing experience!"

“Maya Angelou said “when people show you who they are the first time, believe them”. From the very first time we met years ago Petar Josic and ever since you have shown me how real you are! Thank you for believing in yourself and persevering – good lesson for us all and for all the work Spoken Artists has done in making our events the successes they’ve become.”

Milena Trentadue
VP at Philip Morris International
"The hardest working, most creative."

“As a professional athlete working with major brands and media for the last 15 years, I can say that Spoken Artists (and Petar specifically) are the hardest working, most creative and professional partners I’ve been lucky enough to work with. From innovation to execution nothing is overlooked. My only complaint is that I can’t clone Petar because the world could use a few more of him.”

Melissa Arnot
World-Record Holding Mountaineer and Spoken Artists Speaker
"Incredibly responsive and attentive."

“Petar at Spoken Artists was incredibly responsive and attentive when we reached out for upcoming conference keynote speaker requests. His timely response with exciting options that specifically spoke to our attendees’ unique interests was fantastic!”

Melissa Loose
Training & Development Manager National Funeral Directors Association
"Our go-go speaker agency."

“It’s quite simple. Anytime we are in the market for keynote speakers, we call Spoken Artists.  Our longstanding relationship with Petar Josic and his team has made this part of the planning process as simple as possible for me.  We recommend his services to any planner looking to truly take their event to the next level.”

Carrie Huang
Event Lead, Customer Experience at TC Energy
"Always knock it out of the park!"

“It has been such a great experience working with Spoken Artists. Their attention to detail, genuine care for me (and our clients), and their commitment to making every booking an absolute home-run has really allowed me to settle into what I do best – because I know they’re going above and beyond with everything else.  It’s a great feeling to have this level of support!”

Shaun Boothe
Spoken Artists Speaker & Creator, The Unauthorized Biography Series
"Incredible!"

“Incredible. Everything about the Spoken Artists team is just that. I am so thankful I was introduced to them about 6 years ago. Petar has helped take the guess work and the sourcing out of the speakers so I can focus on the fundamentals of the event. I trust them and they always deliver on this very important, and impactful piece of all of my conferences and events. I only wish I found them sooner.”

Aislinn Shanahan
Global Event Manager, CrowdRiff
"Perfectly attuned."

“Petar’s commitment to excellence and impressive speaker roster is second to none. Perfectly attuned to our culture and goals, inspiration echoes to this day.”
