For your committee
Booking Chirag Speaks
A brief to share with your board, committee, or co-chair: who Chirag is, what he brings to your audience, and how to take the next step.
Who he is
Chirag Speaks is The Brand Historian™. He has spent the last decade traveling the world studying the rise and fall of brands, tracing 500 years of history to answer one question: how do organizations and people survive times of change?
His research has led to one very simple message: Good Brands Don’t Whisper. Mankind is great at adapting to change, what we have to fear is the increase in noise. Technologies like AI are making it easier for everyone to generate noise, so how do we survive and build strong brands (personal or business) that last? We learn to tell our stories with clarity.
He is also a Resident Brand Evangelist at Google, and a featured brand expert across three seasons of The HISTORY Channel’s The Mega Brands That Built America. His work has been featured on platforms like Google, Shopify, HubSpot, & Adobe. He has spoken for industry conferences like NTCA, NAB, AHFA, and CEO. While also having spoken to or worked with marketing teams across organizations like Money Group, Care.com, TurboTax, Intuit, Infiniti, UBS, GoDaddy, Royal Bank of Canada, Coursera, Intact Insurance and more!
Your story will be written, and if Chirag has any say, it will be by your pen!
The Pitch, ready for you
I’d like to bring in Chirag Speaks, The Brand Historian, as our keynote. Over the last decade, Chirag has traveled the world to study the rise & fall of brands and the role narrative plays. Today, he’s an on-screen brand expert for shows like The HISTORY Channel’s The Mega Brands That Built America and a Resident Brand Evangelist at Google, where he advises the world’s largest advertisers on the future of Brand. He builds every talk for the specific room, including interviewing our own attendees before writing it, and organizers consistently call him one of the most engaging speakers their event has ever had. Our audience would leave with a practical framework they can put to work the week they get home, plus post-talk resources built for our event.
