Freddie Sayers is a British journalist and interviewer who transforms complex societal debates into accessible conversations. As Executive Editor at UnHerd, he has guided the platform to remarkable growth, expanding its audience by over 500% to more than 3 million monthly visitors.
Sayers founded Lockdown TV during the Covid-19 pandemic, a YouTube interview series that garnered nearly 10 million views by featuring leading scientists, economists and politicians. His media entrepreneurship includes founding PoliticsHome and InConvo (now YouGovChat), alongside his previous role as Editor-in-Chief at YouGov where he shaped the company's strategic direction.
Through his incisive interviewing style, Sayers helps organizations navigate today's polarized media landscape by fostering nuanced understanding of complex issues. His ability to engage respectfully with diverse viewpoints creates space for meaningful dialogue in an era of increasing tribalism. Companies benefit from his insights on how to communicate effectively across ideological divides while maintaining authenticity.
Audiences leave Sayers' presentations with practical frameworks for fostering productive conversations in divided environments, strategies for building trust with skeptical stakeholders, and techniques for identifying common ground without compromising core principles.
