Monitor Talent Overview

Mobilizing Thought Leadership for Business

Monitor Talent (www.monitortalent.com) is the first of its kind, a full-service intermediary for the idea markets. We represent thought leaders with provocative ideas about the future of business, science, and society and provide corporations and event producers with access to notable authors, speakers, educators, researchers, and executives from around the world.

Our approach differs from traditional agencies and speaker bureaus. We’ve built a value-creation system that benefits multiple players; it’s holistic and network-based. We believe in sharing information, ideas, and leads, and we want to work with others who feel the same way. We offer a richer range of services as a consequence.

While our primary function for our talent is to develop and fulfill commercial demand from corporations, associations, non-profits, and other buyers, we also address a wide range of individual needs, including advice on intellectual content, career development, and personal branding. To catalyze new relationships and ignite innovation, our talent participate in our hosted virtual and physical networks of leading thinkers and companies. Finally, we assist with production and administrative support.

For corporate buyers and event producers, we provide access to the best thinking from both established and up-and-coming experts. Our network includes individuals from academia, business, policy, and science/technology, as well as Monitor Group companies. And, because of our management consulting roots, we help ensure that our corporate clients use our talent productively. For example, we also design ongoing networks for corporate clients and build internal, custom events and learning experiences.
