Laurent Che is a renowned spoken word artist and inspirational speaker. He’s commanded stages across the United States, and graced screens internationally for universities, corporations, churches, local government, notable franchises, and beyond.

For almost a decade, Laurent has maintained an award-winning career as a senior copywriter, content producer, and content strategist for various industry leaders from Foot Locker Inc. to LinkedIn.

Combining his aptitude for advertising with his artistry, he’s become an “Architect of Brand Anthems” through his business, Laurent Che Speaks, using his unique style of spoken word poetry to amplify the missions of prominent brands and organizations.
