What we do

A small agency, by design.

We don't run a sprawling roster. We place presenters we'd stake our own name on, and we only say yes when we know the fit is right.

Standout Talent exists for production companies and event organisers who want one professional point of contact: someone who understands a brief, knows the difference a great host makes, and handles the booking cleanly from first call to the moment they walk on stage.

Because we're selective, every presenter we put forward has done the job at a serious level: live broadcast, main-stage hosting, awards, sport and high-stakes corporate. No filler. No box-ticking. The right person for the room.

How it works

Three steps, no friction.

Built to be quick for busy producers and bookers.

Step 01

Brief us

Send the essentials: date, format, audience, venue and tone. A call or a paragraph is plenty to get started.

Step 02

We match

We come back with the right presenter for the job, with the relevant credits and a clear rate. No guesswork, no shortlist of ten.

Step 03

Booked

We confirm terms, brief the presenter, and stay on hand through the event. You deal with one agency, start to finish.

Coverage

What we book for.

01

Conferences & summits

Hosts and moderators who keep a multi-day programme sharp, on time and engaging, from 50 in a room to over 1,000.

02

Awards & galas

Black-tie compères who celebrate the night with pace and warmth, and never let the energy drop between categories.

03

Broadcast & TV

Presenters comfortable with autocue, open talkback and live direction. Studio formats, documentary and branded content.

04

Sport & live events

On-stage and on-camera talent for sport, festivals, launches and high-energy productions, UK and international.

The standard we book to

Run by someone who has stood on the stage.

Standout Talent is founded by Matthew Walker, a Formula 1 presenter and live event host with over 15 years fronting broadcasts and main stages for the world's leading brands and networks.

That's the bar. Every presenter we put forward is judged against the standard Matthew holds for his own work, which is why the roster stays small and the matches stay right.
