About Us

Our story
Learn how we started, and what sets us apart from other celebrity agencies.
In 1995, Martin and Farah Perelmuter took an entrepreneurial leap of faith. They launched our sister agency, Speakers Spotlight, out of their spare bedroom, armed with only one desk, one phone, and one computer. They had no clients, experience, staff, or money, but they had a clear vision. Since then, Speakers Spotlight has grown into one of the world’s largest and most respected speakers agencies in the world. With the best team in the industry, and an incredible roster of speakers, they are proud to have raised the bar of professionalism, service, and business integrity to a new level.
What sets us apart
The Spotlight Agency has a unique philosophy for our business that is the foundation of our work.
-
1. We represent the best
Our roster is packed with incredible talent, whether they’re celebrities, influencers, musicians, athletes, or astronauts or something entirely different. They are well known around the world and have been involved in a plethora of campaigns and events – we know each and every person on our roster is a true professional, onscreen and off.
-
2. We encourage authenticity
We strive for only the most authentic connections in our work. We connect our talent with clients and causes that are important to them, and we connect our clients to talent who truly embody their values. By doing business in this way, audiences become more invested in the final product.
-
3. We have the experience, the expertise, and the drive.
The Spotlight Agency is small but mighty – we have years of experience under our belts, but we also pride ourselves on being passionate, kind, and committed. We work tirelessly to ensure that when we bring our talent together with a client, both parties have a positive experience, from brand deals, to events and beyond.
