Testimonials
Harry, I’d like to THANK YOU for your incredible partnership ahead of our first ever Government Digital Transformation Summit. I particularly appreciated how you took the time to understand the context and purpose of this high-profile event, and worked closely with me to identify the perfect speakers for the different sessions in our agenda. Your counsel and flexibility made it so easy to secure just the right people to help inspire and educate our audience of government marketing practitioners. In addition, I was so grateful for how you took complete ownership of the process of liaising with speakers, provided us with timely updates and flagged any issues before they even arose!
Riva Media are fantastic to work with. All their speakers are extremely professional. They constantly deliver on every level. They are the go-to agents for us.
Riva Media were fantastic at helping us organise speakers for our company event. Cat was incredibly responsive to any and all queries and questions, and we were given support at every step of the way – nothing seemed too big an ask! Huge thanks, you were fantastic and we look forward to working with you again.
RIVA Media are very professional and responsive. I recently had a very pleasant experience of booking a public speaker through them and it couldn’t have gone better – looking forward to working with them again in the future.
We’ve been impressed by the range and quality of speakers, moderators and event hosts provided by Riva Media. We also greatly appreciate their swift responses to any inquiries and the efficiency with which they handle their business.

Riva Media has been representing me for years both in London and Istanbul. The CEO, Harry Gibson, really understands every inch of the TV industry and journalism.

I’ve had two previous agents over my career of 20+ years and Harry Gibson @RivaMedia is the best by far. Proactive, collaborative, he genuinely cares about his clients. Highly recommended!
I’ve been working for Riva Media for over two years and it has been a pleasure working for them. They are professional, value their employees and have a great work ethic. Proud to be a member of such a great team and looking forward to more years of working together. Thank you Riva Media!
Riva Media is my go to agency for sourcing European speakers. Harry and Cat are fantastic to work with and make the process smooth and easy. From providing speaker recommendations, negotiating contracts and coordinating logistics – the execution is seamless. I always enjoy working with this incredible agency
“Working with Riva Media, Harry and Cat was an absolute pleasure. This was the first time The Economist Group’s APAC events team decided to work with an agency to source a high-level speaker and initially, we weren’t sure how it’d all work out, but Harry and Cat really made things very easy for us and efficiently streamlined the entire process. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and I’m looking forward to working with Riva Media again for our upcoming events.”
“Harry and Cat have been excellent help in finding speakers. Consistently very quick at replying and coming back with unique speaker suggestions, they are rapidly becoming a ‘go-to’ for my events. Looking forward to working with them more!”
