Edith's Everyman x Soundtracking film club has attracted contributions from Richard Curtis, Steve McQueen, and Sofia Coppola, demonstrating her ability to draw out compelling conversation from world-class talent in front of an audience.

Commercially, she has worked with BMW, Specsavers, and Ring, and has DJ'd for clients including Red Bull and Big Feastival. She is also an Ambassador for Nordoff and Robbins.
Edith holds two decades of live broadcasting experience, having worked across every major BBC network, along with an acclaimed podcast that attracts the biggest names in film and music. That breadth makes her equally at home fronting a BAFTA ceremony, a corporate conference, or a brand-led cultural event.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
