Rob Carlton

Rob Carlton had a great start to 2006. His film, CARMICHAEL AND SHANE, which he wrote, starred in, co-directed and co-produced, won Sony Tropfest. And for the first time in the competition's history an actor appeared in two of the final 16 films. The second film he was in won best comedy and Rob was awarded best actor for his performances. But that was this year. He's been around for a little longer than that!!

Not only is he a well recognised actor, Rob is a market leader in hosting Corporate Events. His range of skills includes hosting debates, 'hypotheticals', think tanks, strategic visioning as well as the usual gala dinners, conferencing and team building days. Whilst studying at the University of Sydney Rob was a champion debater and public speaker. His MC background stems from his work as a professional Theatresports player, director and host.

Rob is also a produced writer. His play A- Framed was a critical success and has been produced by three different production companies in both Sydney and Melbourne. He has written and sold two feature film screenplays. Rob completed an Arts Degree at the University of Sydney majoring in English and Australian Literature.

This unique blend of writing and performing, coupled with his academic background, places Rob in a perfect position to make your evening a seamless, memorable event.

In the corporate arena Rob's clients include Pfizer, Commonwealth Bank, Intercontinental Hotel Group, EMC, Medfin, Konica Minolta, Dymocks, Dairy Farmers, Elders, IBM, Uncle Toby's, Blake Dawson Waldren, Intentia, Western College, Sanofi Aventis and Cerebos. Testimonials available upon request.

And for a bit of fun, here's a rundown of some of Rob's acting credits: Most recognisable for his 'likeable persona' on national ad campaigns for Tooheys, QANTAS, Telstra and Mitsubushi, he is also the bad guy in Australian Drama. Since getting his head flushed down a toilet in 'The Year My Voice Broke' Rob's been...

Rob hopes to die on all good Australian Drama's. Client Ovations: Rob was our Facilitator at the Regional Leadership Team Confercnce held in Sydney in April 2006. During our initial meeting prior to the conference, Rob was very quick to determine what we were trying to achieve and gave us some positive and relevant conments and suggestions. Rob facilitated over a day long session of think-tanks, Q and A sessions and discussion groups with some of our hotel owners, industry influencers and major clients. He gained the trust of our 50 delegates and was able to negotiate some difficult issues that arose during the day. We all appreciated his forthright nature and objective opinions, and his ability to balance the day with serious discussion and humour. I was very impressed with his ability to quickly understand the issues relating to the hotel industry and that he was able to encourage delegates by asking the right questions. I have received many comments from delegates and they all agreed it was a very successful conference, made even better by Rob's expertise in facilitation.

Rob came to us highly recommended as a Master of Ceremonies. He proved himself to be very professional, intelligent and witty in his preparation and hosting of the Western Sydney Manufacturing Leaders Forum. Feedback from delegates at the dinner event was very positive. Rob chaired a forum and Q ' A session at the event with ease, confidence, and intelligence. We would certainly look to using Rob's services again and would have no hesitation in recommending him as a host for any corporate event. Rob is the masters master!

Your ability to establish and maintain rapport with the 200 delegates was outstanding, along with your understanding of the intellectual content of the conferencing sessions and the way you were able to support and shape that content making your links both amusing and relevant. Behind your humourous and entertaining exterior is an extreme professional, you kept all speakers to time and constantly oversaw the running of the program to ensure all ran very smoothly.,During our evening events you created a real sense of fun and theatre allowing all speakers to shine and the audience to be involved. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you, and again I thank you for helping make our event the success that it was.
