What John does

Four ways to put John on your program

Conference hostOpens the day, introduces speakers, runs Q&A and keeps sessions to time so the program lands where it should. Master of ceremonies.
Awards nightsWalk-up music for every winner, names said right, and a room that stays with you from the first category to the last.
Brand activationsCrowd hosting and live DJ sets that keep a sponsor's space busy and on message, as he has for Kia and the NBL.
Staff partiesEnd of year parties and milestone celebrations where the formalities are short and the dance floor is full. DJ hire.

Why one person

The program and the playlist on the same page

When the host and the DJ are two suppliers, every transition needs a cue. When it's one person, the walk-up music starts as the name is read, the break music fades as the next speaker stands, and the after-party starts the moment the last award is handed over.

You brief one person, approve one run of show and deal with one invoice.

FAQ

Corporate MC and DJ questions

Can John host the conference and DJ the after-party?

Yes, that's the point. One person runs the stage, the session music and the after-party set from one run of show, so there's no handover between suppliers.

What corporate events has John worked?

Kia at the Australian Open, the NBL, the Retail Show Australia main stage, a major Denon DJ product launch, Method Recruitment's 10 year anniversary and the Listen To Your Body national conference, among others.

Does John work to our run of show?

Yes. John works from your run of show, or builds one with you, and keeps sessions, breaks and award categories to time on the day.

Can John read award winners' names correctly?

Every winner, speaker and sponsor name is checked before the event, and each winner gets walk-up music as their name is read.

Do you liaise with our venue and AV team?

Yes. John talks to your venue, event manager and AV supplier so the timings, cues and audio line up for everyone before the doors open.

Is John available for events outside Melbourne?

Yes. John works Melbourne wide and regularly travels for events in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
