What is Speaker Management Services?
Speaker management is a complex art. Successful speaker managers not only understand where their clients come from, but they also have the ability to help them discover where they want to eventually go to, and the expertise and experience to guide them to that destination.
Successful speaker managers are characterized by great levels of honesty and vast experience. They are very careful with which speakers they take on board. Basically there are simply two categories of speakers. The great and recognized ones and the rising stars. The recognized speakers need a speaker manager in order to maintain and strengthen their position and the rising stars are usually discovered by a speaker manager and rely on the manager’s expertise and experience to help them grow and accomplish their objectives.
Which case is yours?

Speaker Manager Q&A
In order to help you understand what a speaker manager actually does, have a look at the Q&A below. We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible.
Thank you for your trust
Maria is an outstanding Personal Branding Strategist. But that title does no justice to her breadth and quality of service. She has been instrumental in helping me develop, grow and market my brand. She is truly a trusted advisor who goes above and beyond to ensure your success.
I recently participated in Maria’s Fast Track coaching program for speakers, authors and thought leaders. Words cannot properly express the gratitude I have for Maria’s wise counsel and guidance in my professional branding and trajectory as an international speaker. Maria is incredibly knowledgeable about the speaking and book publishing industries as well as branding and marketing. She is kindhearted and generous with her knowledge and resources, using her keen intellect and sharp insights to help her clients become clear about their path to success and the unfolding of their true purpose. I highly recommend any opportunity to work with Maria–she’s the real deal.
Collaborating with Maria has been an extraordinary experience. Her exceptional skills in attentive listening and interpretation, combined with profound insights, illuminated a distinct pathway to success for us. Maria’s expertise is especially invaluable for professionals grappling with the challenge of expressing their Unique Selling Proposition (USP) or feeling stagnant in determining their next career move. Having Maria on your speed dial is not just a recommendation; it’s a strategic advantage.
With genuine passion, Maria’s exceptional workshop on Personal Branding and Influence wasn’t just a lesson; it was a living demonstration.
She drew admiration for forging genuine connections with a diverse audience, proving through her own example that personal values are the foundation of a strong brand.
She didn’t just teach the crucial truth—she embodied it: a personal brand’s essence lies in the impact we create, not the influence we receive.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Maria and Thanassis in several capacities over the past few years, and I keep coming back—for good reason. They are smart, thoughtful, and deeply creative partners who bring strategic insight and artistic vision to every project. They’re incredibly responsive and a true joy to work with. Most importantly, they help deliver real results. Whether it’s branding, design, or storytelling, they bring a rare combination of clarity and craft that consistently elevates the work.
You have no idea how much you are helping me at this point. The Fast Track Workshop was exactly what I needed to move on to my next steps with clarity and confidence.
Maria isn’t just a speaker manager; she’s a career magician, personal mentor, and, on occasion, a spontaneous therapist all rolled into one. With her guidance, my professional journey was not just about grabbing the mic, but also about growth, laughter, and some truly unforgettable backstage pep talks. If you ever have the chance to work with her, grab it – and keep an eye on her, this woman’s entrepreneurial spirit and eye for opportunities knows no limits!
From our first call Maria was a veritable fountain of expertise. I’ve rarely met someone so genuinely generous who also has such extraordinary expertise and experience. She provided, in one hour, more useful insights than I’ve ever experienced in a single call.
Her instructions were clear. Her timelines were clear and consistent. She and her team were flexible and reasonable and generous at every single step. I have never met a marketing company that killed it on value, expertise, AND being great to work with. Maria and the team do in every single category every single time. I HIGHLY recommend them.
Maria Papacosta is an exceptional Strategist for the top experts and thought leaders. Maria adds even more value to her clients by using mastery as a Presence & Impact Coach. This is a privilege to work with Maria.
One of the most refreshing feelings to experience, especially in times of crisis and uncertainty, is the one of pure kindness. Met Maria Papacosta not a long time ago remotely through our network. She has been surprising me ever since with her kindness and generosity which are way over and above from what her professional role includes. Maria, people like you are blessed with the gift of energizing everyone around them and spreading inspiration. Keep up the amazing work!
Maria’s deep knowledge and many years of experience in the speaking industry along with her marketing expertise and coaching skills make her one of a kind. She works with professionalism, integrity and mindfulness and always delivers extra value to her clients.
The Fast Track Strategy Session was eye-opening, informative, and inspiring. It helped me define my personal brand with clarity and passion!
Maria is the consummate professional who I trust fully because she consistently has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend MSC Bureau and their strategy process to anyone seeking to elevate their game.
If there was a “Genie” for speakers and consultants, its bottle would say MSC Bureau. These guys are ridiculously good at what they do and at the same time, the most kind and generous people you will ever meet. If you are a speaker, a consultant or anyone who wants to build a brand out of yourself, you can’t afford not to work with them.
Working with Maria Papacosta and the team at MSC Bureau is a pleasure and has made a significant impact on my business. From the inventive and inspirational work of her creative team, to the professional and responsive approach of her technical team, to the deep insights Maria herself brings to the table, working with MSC is a game changer. Maria has helped re-imagine my business and created a clear strategy for visibility and promotion. Beyond this, Maria herself is always available to provide guidance and to be a sounding board for ideas. Her extensive network and deep understanding of the Talent Development marketplace helped me translate my ideas and content into successful marketable products and engagements.
I had the pleasure of working with Maria and her team on redesigning my website along with guiding me on leveling up in the world of Speaking. I learned invaluable information on how to position myself and my company and the new website continues to get praise when I talk to clients. I highly recommend working with Maria and her team!
My co-authors and I were thrilled by MSC’s highly professional support to promote our book. Maria’s responsiveness was impressive, immersing herself in our profiles and the book, guiding, educating (and facilitating) us to clarify personalized objectives and outcomes, and collaborated to build a comprehensive strategy to help us build recognition. Along the way, she taught us Social Media and LinkedIn skills, worked with her team to build and upgrade our various websites, and has stayed available and close to us throughout. I enthusiastically recommend her to colleagues.
Maria was an incredible Speaker Coach for my TEDx speech, guiding me through an amazing 4-month journey that completely transformed my public speaking skills. Every session was packed with valuable insights, helping me craft a compelling speech and elevate my performance. Thanks to her coaching, I now step on stage with confidence and excitement!
