Speaker and Host for
Writing and Marketing Events
David is the perfect host for Copy-Con. That’s why we’ve invited him back for eight years straight. David is deeply woven into the commercial writing world, and he’s also a skilled presenter who controls the room with panache. I’m always impressed by the effort and preparation he puts into his hosting duties. We’re lucky to have David on our team.

A fun, freewheeling speaker on writing and creativity.
Picture that speaker session everyone talks about in the coffee break. The one where they learned something useful, felt uplifted, and laughed a lot along the way. That’s the session David McGuire brings to your agenda.
You might have seen him speak in the UK or US – for instance at B2B Ignite, MarketingProfs, B2B Forum, Martechopia, or regional events like Building Brands UK and Bristol Content Group.
Lately, he’s talked about:
- Writing marketing content that actually works
- Taking creative risks in staid B2B markets
- How to use AI in your writing (and how not to)
- Setting the right conditions for more creative work
But he’s happy to chat about ideas to fit the event you’re curating.
David can bring relevant creative inspiration, or hands-on practical advice – whatever your agenda needs. But there’ll always be energy (and just a dash of irreverence).
Aspirational and actionable – amazing! Great examples and storytelling, and real advice on how to build buy-in.

An adaptable, energetic conference host.
It seems like a small role, but your host sets the tone for your whole event. Do you want the day to feel polished, or informal? Corporate, or relaxed? Informative, or collaborative? Do you want to excite your delegates, or set them at ease?
Now in his tenth year as a conference host, David is experienced enough to match the mood you’re trying to create. He’ll present your speakers in the best light, and act as your audience’s representative onstage. And he’ll give you as much or as little support as you need as the day progresses – working with your event team to keep everyone informed.
