Warwick was an excellent host at a virtual event we recently hosted at my company. It was easy to work with him, always so open for feedback and collaboration. He made note of our company's ... keep reading Credibl
Warwick did an awesome job once again hosting the speaker program in the Manufacturers Pavilion at Austech. He really is a fabulous MC whom I would highly recommend. He takes away so much of the stress of running an event because he is organised, does his research, and can hold the fort and keep everyone smiling no matter what's going on in the background.
Warwick was great. He kept the members quiet and wasn't taking rubbish from anyone. He's been active on socials and posting and tagging us which is fantastic going that extra mile. General feedback from guests is that he was very good, probably best we've had. Behind the scenes he was on top of everything good communication with my staff. Overall a great host, thanks!
Warwick is our secret weapon. Our attendees love the smooth process he has created and enjoy the energy and engagement he brings. He is now a core part of our team and we are better for it.
After our initial conversation with Warwick, we knew we needed to get him on board so we could get our online events happening. He brought so much more to each event than we thought and has become a key part of our online sessions.
It was a pleasure to again have Warwick Merry as our MC at the recent TEDxMelbourne event. Warwick's professionalism and ability to think on his feet to handle the typical seminar mishaps definitely helped TEDxMelbourne be an outstanding success. Warwick was calm and centred giving me an anchor in the storm of running the event. He has a can-do attitude and I always appreciated his reassuring question of 'What do you need?' to know he was there to serve. I'm very happy to recommend Warwick as your MC or speaker. He brings a warmth, humour, and wisdom to his role that will ensure your event's success.
I recently attended the Australian VA Convention in Melbourne at which Warwick was MC. If you are looking for an MC for your next event you can't go past Warwick. He kept the delegates entertained, on-task and motivated. He performed his MC duties with humour and was a big favourite! In addition, when a presenter didn't turn up due to a timing misunderstanding, Warwick stepped up and gave a one hour presentation completely off the cuff! It was quite amazing. He is a very warm, funny, intelligent and quick-witted speaker who can tune in to his audience and keep things ticking over and on track. A must-have presenter or MC for your next event!
We followed your advice and changed our display and approach and QUADRUPLED our sales at our latest show. Thanks for the help!
I do a lot of trade shows, but I learnt so much. Implementing a lead card strategy as you directed at our next event added $16,000 to my bottom line.
Warwick's work on the trade show floor not only added to the atmosphere on the day, but delivered real value to our exhibitors, particularly our sponsors, in helping drive sales and generate interest in the promotions of the day. The awards ceremony was where Warwick shined. When it came to my attention that some of the upcoming slides needed to be corrected, with two minutes notice he effortless filled five minutes on stage and then when indicated he segued into the next part of the awards and no one noticed. His ability to improve on stage under pressure was amazing. His contribution to our National Conference has really raised the bar. In particular, he understood the brief, understood our business and executed effortlessly, sometimes with very little notice or direction. Warwick was the perfect host for us, our suppliers and most importantly, our stores. I look forward to working with him again.
Thank you very much for helping us make our 2016 Client Summit such a success. Our goal was to "blow our clients away" with the new event format, but it wouldn't have worked so well without your guidance and leadership on the day. A number of our executives said that One of the best things we did was hire Warwick for the day. We had a vision of what we wanted and you took it and made it so much better - for us and our clients. As a high-tech company we are naturally focused on the technology. With your help, we were able to run a truly customer-centric event. Our clients were thrilled with the day. The energy in the room, the interactions and the relaxed laughter made a refreshing change from the more traditional events we have run in the past. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then you should be flattered. Two of our big name clients present on the day are now considering running their own upcoming corporate events in the same way that we did. Warwick, as you know maintaining someone's attention for six hours straight is a challenging task. According to attendees, with your help, we were able to do that. We do and will continue to highly recommend you to others seeking a truly professional MC and communications specialist.
