“The way you blended a hoax speech with a real presentation on creative thinking was very entertaining, informative and thought provoking. Looking at the audience, there was a mixture of laughter, puzzled expressions and genuine appreciation for what you were doing. A great boost to our conference, with excellent feedback from delegates.”

Victoria Police

“Thanks for your hoax presentation for our recent Coca-Cola launch. I was very pleased with how it turned out. Your impersonation of a Coca-Cola Vice President from head office in Atlanta seemed to have everyone fooled, yet despite their enjoyment of your antics the presentation of the ’serious’ material came across very clearly. It was an innovative way for us to convey the necessary information in a fun and entertaining manner.”

“The doctors loved the David Attenborough script.”
Merck, Sharp & Dohme

“The 700 Retravision delegates were very impressed. The Don (Burke) Dirt character mixing humour, impressions, singing and industry knowledge went over very well to the extent that most delegates voted it the ‘Best Presentation’ of the Conference.”

“Graeme’s performance at our recent black tie event during Cox Plate week was simply sensational. His portrayal of a leading American racing identity was riveting and hysterical. The general feeling was that Graeme’s speech was one of the funniest things they had ever heard.”
Moonee Valley Racing Club

“Magnificent job … as Dr George Connor from the World Business Council on Sustainable Development, the audience was caught completely by surprise. The speech broke the ice for many attendees who seemed much more relaxed and enthusiastic about meeting people and exchanging views the following day.”
National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality

“Thank you for an amazing performance. You certainly helped to pull a very challenging afternoon into a successful event, ensuring the message was well received.

“You proved to be a very big hit – from the hoax Frenchman, to the MC work, and to the AC-DC close. You had clearly researched our business well and gave the conference a huge dose of energy at the right moments.”

“Your David Attenborough opener was instrumental in setting the mood for the evening and was a wonderful icebreaker with our staff.”
Westpac

“As those in attendance represented the cream of the Meetings Industry, it was not going to be easy to impress them. But impress them you did. Your hilarious opening, which saw naturalist Bruce Attenborough poke fun at our industry, before bursting into a high powered rock song complete with manic dancing, really came out of left field.”
Meetings Industry Association of Australia

“Our audience was very diverse, being a mix of scientists and administrative people, but your highly entertaining and informative address easily held their attention, and gave them insights into how to think more creatively.”
CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences

“You had the team captivated right from the start, and have found that great balance between entertainment and dealing with the serious issues at hand. I would not hesitate to recommend you to other organisations that are looking for a guest presenter to cut through the ’sameness’ of a conference and deliver a strong but entertaining message.”
Agfa-Gevaert
