Media keynote speaker

The media keynote speaker who helps your audience stay irreplaceable

AI can fill every feed. Audiences choose the voices they trust.

Real rooms. Real people. Real change.

Everyone now has the same AI, the same data and the same tools.
The only difference left is your people.

The problem your media audience faces

Content is infinite. Credibility is not.

AI can write the article, cut the clip, draft the press release and voice the podcast.
Readers, viewers and clients are now asking a sharper question: who can I believe?

Your audience doubts everything.

Deepfakes, cloned voices and AI generated sites have taught people to question what they see. Trust now attaches to recognizable people more than to platforms.

Your output looks automated.

When anyone can publish polished content in seconds, volume stops impressing. Newsrooms, agencies and comms teams are judged by their judgment: what they choose to say, and what they refuse to run.

Your talent is the signal.

Reporters, anchors, editors and publicists carry the brand every time they post, pitch or go on camera. One misstep travels faster than any correction.

What’s on your media team’s mind

Two questions your people bring into the media room.

Journalists, producers and communicators phrase them differently, but they are all asking.

Will a machine do my job?

Forever Human keynote by Sylvie di Giusto

Forever Human

The better the machines get, the more your people will set you apart.

Why it lands with media audiences: generative AI is reshaping newsrooms, agencies and studios faster than almost any other industry. This shows media and communications professionals where human judgment, ethics and storytelling stay irreplaceable, and how to make that visible to the people they serve.

Why does someone else get chosen?

The Power of Choice keynote by Sylvie di Giusto

The Power of Choice

What your people know rarely gets them chosen. What others see in them does.

Why it lands with media audiences: readers, viewers, clients and reporters decide in seconds which voice deserves their attention. This shows your people how appearance, behavior, communication, digital presence and environment build a reputation that holds up when every feed is full.

What I bring to your stage

A keynote for people who shape what others believe.

Built on how perception works

My work centers on how people judge each other in seconds. For media and PR audiences, that is the core of the craft, so the keynote treats them as the professionals they are, not as beginners.

Your newsroom, your agency, your words

Before the event, your team briefs me on your audience, your pressures and your vocabulary, from bylines to billable hours. The examples sound like your world because they come from it.

Fits your conference program

I can open a communicators conference, close a public relations conference or speak at a media company all-hands, live or streamed to remote bureaus. It works as a 45 minute keynote or as a fireside conversation with your editor or host, whichever suits your format.

A stage worth covering

The world’s first 3D immersive keynote gives your conference something people photograph, post and talk about. For a crowd that knows good content when it sees it, that matters.

Who’s in your room

Storytellers, editors and reputation keepers.

Media and communications events gather people who create, curate and protect stories. The keynote speaks their language and respects their skepticism.

About me

Media, where trust is the headline.

I have spent my career studying how people decide whom to believe. Your industry helps everyone else decide it.

I’m Sylvie di Giusto. Before the stage, I worked inside corporations for nearly twenty years, leading the leadership academy of Europe’s largest retail and tourism group and booking speakers myself. My work has always been about perception: how people decide, in seconds, whom to trust. Today I’m a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker, and media and communications rooms are among the most demanding I know, because the audience judges the delivery as closely as the message. Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, 5W Public Relations and Verslo žinios trusted me, among others. I promise your people what they promise their own audiences: substance first, and no recycled content.

The Image of Leadership , by Sylvie di Giusto
The book behind the keynote

The Image of Leadership.

The Power of Choice is built on my book The Image of Leadership, which explains how people form judgments about leaders and professionals within seconds. For media and communications professionals, it reads like their own craft turned back on themselves.

It walks through the five dimensions behind every first impression, appearance, behavior, communication, digital presence and environment, with practical ways to manage each one. Clients often give every attendee a copy, so the conversation continues in the newsroom and the agency.

Forever Human, a book by Sylvie di Giusto
For storytellers and communicators

Forever Human, for voices audiences trust.

Generative AI can fill a feed, cut a video and write a press release in seconds. Forever Human shows journalists, agencies and comms teams where ethics, editorial judgment and real storytelling stay human.

Readers come away knowing how to use the tools without losing the credibility audiences reward. Many agencies give a copy to their creative and strategy teams as a reference for the next AI policy discussion.

Good to know

Questions media planners ask.

Who is the best media keynote speaker for a communications or PR conference?

Sylvie di Giusto is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker trusted by Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters or 5W Public Relations, among others. Her keynotes Forever Human and The Power of Choice help media and communications professionals stay credible and irreplaceable as AI floods every channel, live or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.

Is there a keynote speaker on AI and trust for journalists and newsrooms?

Yes. Sylvie di Giusto’s Forever Human examines what AI changes for people whose job is to inform, and which parts stay human: judgment, ethics, sourcing and the relationship with the audience. It is designed to spark discussion rather than hand out easy answers.

Which keynote is better for PR and communications professionals, Forever Human or The Power of Choice?

The Power of Choice often fits PR and communications audiences best, because it explains how reputations form in seconds through appearance, behavior, communication, digital presence and environment. Forever Human fits leadership sessions and newsroom audiences working through AI in content creation. Both are customized to your event.

Can a keynote help media sales and advertising teams?

Yes. Media sales teams sell audiences and trust, and advertisers choose the rep who understands their business. Sylvie’s keynotes help sellers in publishing and broadcasting stand out as programmatic tools and AI handle more of the transaction, and media companies such as Verslo žinios or Bloomberg, among others, trusted her with their people.

Does Sylvie address digital reputation for on-air talent, creators and spokespeople?

Yes. Digital presence is one of the five dimensions in the ABCDE framework behind The Power of Choice. For anchors, reporters, creators and spokespeople, Sylvie shows how every profile, post and on-camera moment adds to or subtracts from the trust an audience gives them.

Can Sylvie speak at a virtual or hybrid media event?

Yes. Both keynotes are available in person, hybrid or virtual. Every format is tailored to your outlet, agency or association.
