Could you share insights into your role and your journey with Location:Live (formally VA)?

Julian and I met 10 years ago in May 2014 in a previous job where Jules was the Sales Director and I was his coordinator. In that job we worked together an agency briefs for shopping centers and the like. Over time I started booking more complex activations and I began to grow both in self-confidence and my ability to service our clients. In 2018 Julian launched Venue Advantage and he asked me to join him. In the start, it was just the two of us and I really enjoyed growing that business alongside him and the team. The transition to Location:Live in 2024 has been exciting because we are now part of a global team and I think the lo:live platform is a real game changer for our industry and something new for the Asian-Pacific region.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

Knowing that when people call me, I'm able to help them. I like being a trusted partner that delivers solutions for my clients. The Australia market is really growing and clients are become a bit more adventurous. It's not like ''can you book this for me?'' and I'm just clicking buttons for them. I'm giving them insights and contributing to the sucess of their campiagns. Every day is different. There's always a new project that you need to think about.

How did you first become interested in working in the industry?

It was always in me. As a kid I liked organizing parties for my family, which is funny now. I got my degree in media production, historically that was traditional media like TV, radio, and print. I like being able to conceptualize, create, produce and manage a project, and make sure it's executed to the end. Its a combination of creative and analytical thinking. When a client briefs us on a concept - I have to see beyond the creative and know the feasibility and logistics of our locations. I love being part of the think-tank. I'm not creating the concepts, I'm marrying the creative and the production together with the venue to achieve a clients objective.

Can you share a skill or hobby outside of work that you're passionate about?

Baking, I love baking. I actually never knew how to bake until COVID. During lockdown when there was nothing to do, especially in the event industry, I just did lots of Googling and YouTubing and then started a small business for myself during that time. I find baking a great creative outlet for my mental health.

What is your go-to karaoke song?

Anything Madonna and 80s would be my go to.

And finally, what emoji do you find yourself using most often?

Oh, the, the teethy smiley, like. Mm hmm.
