Influential content creator with large Gen Z following
Derin Adetosoye is a Broadcast Journalist, Presenter, Host, and Content Creator currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Columbia Journalism School, expected to graduate in 2025. At just 24 years old, she gained recognition after winning the Formula E Open Talent Call for Presenters in 2020, where she was chosen from 800 applicants. This achievement made her the first black female presenter for an international motorsport rights holder.

Derin has a strong background as a Content Creator and YouTuber, amassing over 65,000 followers among the Gen Z demographic. She serves as the face of Formula E’s digital and social media channels, hosting various online shows and content series, including a travel show with Saudia Airlines, celebrity interviews, and esports coverage.

In 2023, Derin expanded her career into Formula 1, taking on the role of Anchor for the new F1 Academy Series, which is broadcast on Sky Sports F1 and Formula One. This all-female racing series aligns with her commitment to diversity and inclusion in motorsport, allowing her to cover thrilling races and interview emerging female racing talents.

In addition to her presenting work, Derin collaborates with teams, partners, and manufacturers in motorsport, including Oracle Red Bull Racing, Jaguar TCS Racing, Nissan, TAG Heuer, Porsche, UNICEF UK, Liberty Global, DHL Motorsport, and the FIA.

Derin's versatility also extends beyond motorsport. She has presented shows and content series for organisations like BAFTA, Sky, NBC Universal, BBC Bitesize, the British Council, and the London College of Fashion, where she acted as a correspondent for London Fashion Week. She hosted for England Rugby, presenting at the Six Nations at Twickenham Stadium to an audience of over 80,000, and served as the stadium host for the Rugby League World Cup in 2022.

In addition to her media roles, Derin is a UK Ambassador for Adobe and sits on their Creative Council board, working alongside figures like Riz Ahmed to connect the brand with Gen Z audiences. She was the face of Adobe’s ‘Love The Journey’ campaign and has collaborated with various clients, including Sony, Samsung, Natwest UK, Sky Up Academy, Autotrader, Cineworld, Superdrug, and Alpha Tauri.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
