With Thanksgiving around the corner, we can't help but look back at 2025 with gratitude. We're blown away by what VaynerSpeakers has accomplished this year, but even more so by the people who poured their hearts into making it happen.
We collaborated with the New York Stock Exchange on the Voices of Now & Next. A content series spotlighting the voices actually shaping markets and culture. Real leaders driving real innovation. The kind of collaboration that matters because it puts ideas and impact front and center.
Check out our latest profile with Songe LaRon, the CEO & Co-Founder of Squire, below:
We rebuilt our website from the ground up. Faster. Cleaner. Built to actually showcase our roster the way they deserve. We even added an AI-powered "Find Your Perfect Speaker" quiz—because matching the right voice to the right audience shouldn't be guesswork.
We showed up at Cannes Lions. The VaynerSpeakers team hit Cannes Lions. We sat in on the panels. We met people doing the work. We learned. We listened. (Shoutout to Contessa for documenting the whole thing.)
We created NEW merch. Our designer Chris killed it. We designed something that reflects who we are, the energy our speakers bring to stages, and the work our team puts in behind the scenes. Sweatshirt. Tee. Umbrella. Simple, intentional, and ours.
We filmed a "How to Work With Us" video…in-house, around the office. The calls. The coordination. The execution that turns opportunities into outcomes. But honestly? The best part wasn't the final cut; it was watching the entire team come together, practice, do dry runs, and have fun building something we're proud of. The video came out better than we could have imagined, but the process was even better.
Sales team: You keep our speakers booked and busy. You don't just book events, you match the right voice to the right room, and that's a skill.
Marketing team: You're the reason people know who we are and what we stand for. Every campaign. Every post. Every piece of content. You make sure we show up authentically and consistently.
Operations & Logistics team: You're the engine. The logistics. The problem-solving. The fires you put out before anyone even smells smoke. None of this runs without you holding it down.
Our partners: Thank you for the trust. Every booking is a bet on the ideas and voices we represent. That trust isn't something we take lightly.
Our speakers: You put in the miles. You step on stages and deliver. The prep. The travel. The energy it takes to move a room. None of this happens without you showing up and doing the actual work.
2025 has been a year of momentum and growth. We're closing it out strong and heading into 2026 with our foot on the gas.
From everyone at VaynerSpeakers: Happy Thanksgiving. Grateful for all of you. 🦃
