Testimonials

“I have worked closely with Sam on numerous events in recent years. Sam has the skill and versatility to carry out a wide variety of hosting and presenting roles in a smooth and professional style. She has great energy, warmth and a sense of fun, and is a great team player.”

Nathan Templeton – Channel Seven News & Sports Reporter

“Thank you to you & your MC team who play such a big part in pulling it off, for working the crowd so well & creating such a wonderful atmosphere. In my view this was by far the best MC effort we’ve had. Thank you for bringing your A game to the Dubai 7’s.”

Gary Chapman – President Emirates Group services & Dnata

“Having worked with Sam on and off the field for a number of years, I am always impressed with her energy, enthusiasm and commitment she brings to not only her hosting and MC roles, but also her attitude towards the bigger picture – she’s a lateral thinker, encourages others around her, and approaches challenges with vigour and a positive outlook.  I’d have her as my wing-woman/co-host anytime!”

Brodie Young – TV Presenter

“Samantha brings an amazing energy to Cats home games both in Geelong and Melbourne. She has the adaptability to be able to kick off a Dance Cam on camera or interview Cats players and coaches in tense moments. Samantha has been a fantastic addition to Cats games.”

Carly Flakemore – Geelong Cats Football club

“Sam has provided us with corporate hosting services over several years for our client WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). I can highly recommend Sam’s professional approach and demeanour. She is a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitations in recommending her as we continue to engage her services over the coming years.”
