Managing Director
Postclick / Komli Media
With events in 5 Australian capital cities, a demanding schedule of early morning flights, short turnarounds and the ability to cooperate and adapt to the individual styles of 17 different presenters. His hours of detailed script preparation, creative ideas and development with the event producer and his friendly disposition endeared him to all of our presenters, earning him a recall 2 years in a row. He comes highly recommended for clients holding similar multi-day, multi-location events where more is required than just another event emcee.
