Words are powerful. Speechwriters understand words.
They understand how they win votes, sway investors or transform a lifeless text into a lively one.
Speechwriters don’t believe in unscripted communication. If you’ve ever
watched someone wing it on a Zoom call, you’ll understand why.
Speechwriting is niche. The characters who thrive doing it have to be creative,
literary and political. They learn to be confident and independent.
For the past ten years the European Speechwriter Network has brought together speechwriters from around the world at their conferences and events.
Those of us who now run our own businesses have teamed up as ‘Fellows’ to promote our services to senior partners, chief executives and others seeking to influence public life.
What we offer
We offer a broad range of skills: developing corporate messages and narratives, keynote speechwriting, Zoom
scripting, ghostwriting, op-ed writing, Twitter campaigns, Facebook/Linkedin posts, company reports, white
papers, editing of reports, speeches and presentations and tone of voice guidelines.
How does it work?
If you would like to discuss hiring one of our fellows, get in touch with our secretary, Brian Jenner. You can
negotiate the fees and payment terms with the fellow directly. The Fellows David Vigar first wrote speeches for Paddy Ashdown, since then he’s written for business leaders at BT, BP, AstraZeneca, Clifford Chance and other organisations.
Sarah O’Reilly started as a journalist working for France’s top
entertainment website before moving into crisis communications. She has written for senior executives at Prudential plc, Eni, The Crown Estate, The Royal Society of Chemistry and Heathrow Airport.
Matt Greenough wrote everything from academic lectures to tweets
about football for the former First Minister of Wales.
Jess Shepherd has written speeches for education and business leaders. Previously, she was the Guardian’s Education Correspondent and also worked for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Andrew Palmer made the business case for Scotland to remain as part of the UK in the Scottish Referendum campaign. He also wrote speeches whilst at the CBI.
The Secretary Brian Jenner is the founder of the UK Speechwriters’ Guild and the European Speechwriter Network.
The ESN is a forum where speechwriters can raise their profile, share experience and improve the quality of their work.
