After leaving a city career, Justine founded Mumsnet in 2000 following a disappointing "family-friendly" holiday in Florida. Despite launching amid the dot-com crash, her resilience and low-overhead business model helped the platform thrive. Today, Mumsnet attracts 14 million unique visitors monthly, while her later venture Gransnet serves the over-50s community with specialised content and support.
Roberts' entrepreneurial vision addresses modern parenting challenges by creating accessible digital spaces where parents can exchange knowledge without wading through countless books. Her platforms tackle practical issues from childbirth to career advice, holiday planning to health concerns, offering peer-supported solutions to everyday parenting dilemmas in an increasingly isolated society.
Audiences gain actionable insights on building resilient digital communities, transforming passions into successful business models, and understanding how authentic user-generated content drives sustainable growth. Her presentations reveal practical strategies for creating platforms that genuinely serve their communities.
Book Justine Roberts for a masterclass in digital community building from a leader whose CBE recognition and inclusion among the world's 500 most influential CEOs reflect her transformative impact.

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