Ben has 20 years’ experience as an all-round presenter. Whether in front of a 35,000 crowd at a HSV home match in Hamburg’s Volkspark Stadium, or hosting a few top managers at a FedEx workshop - professionalism is everything. Ben is a truly bilingual presenter with a full awareness of what is needed. He prepares meticulously, then thinks his way into what an audience really wants, and how it will respond. Interviews are carefully thought through. Trainee or managing director - all involved get the same thorough preparation. In addition, he has 15 years’ experience in agency work and project management - invaluable knowhow in conceiving, preparing and staging shows, interviews, panel discussions, celebrity appearances, workshops and PR events. For over 10 years Ben has also coached young radio presenters in off-air appearances and interviews.
Whether projecting the brand strategy of a major bank or fine-tuning the launch of a new auto model, Ben’s in-depth experience and creative ideas are always tailored to the individual needs of agencies and clients.
Beyoncé Knowles. Ewan McGregor. Eva Mendes. Heidi Klum. Boris Becker. Manuel Neuer. Olaf Scholz. Understanding, diplomacy, but also firmness are needed to achieve the right joint strategy in celebrity presentations. You’re the boss. Until the star comes. There’s a lot to consider. And Ben’s there to help.
Ben has been coaching young radio presenters in off-air presentation for ten years. It’s a workshop that deals with all the aspects, from proper cooperation with technical crews to confident use of the complex technology at major productions. A true behind-the-scenes insight into what goes on, however big or small the event, or whatever form it takes. How best to conduct an interview or panel discussion? What special considerations are there in celebrity handling? How best to focus mind and body before stepping on stage? Ben passes on the tricks of the trade and shows how to turn nervousness into professionalism. It’s a committed workshop that gives young on-air presenters a healthy self-confidence in confronting a live off-air audience.
Running order decisions in over 100 Bundesliga stadium shows for Hamburg’s HSV football club, numerous sales conferences and year-opener celebrations - Ben is a seasoned director of many such events. You need an experienced running order director? You need someone to hold your team together, to bring in ideas for staging a perfect event? Look no further.
Ben is connected throughout Europe and deals fairly and professionally in all issues involving artists, bookings and keynote speaker slots. The art is in using contacts to best effect, knowing which artist suits which event setting - something that only hard-won experience can teach.
Parallel to his presentation activities, for five successive years Ben marketed Germany’s biggest tennis tournament, the ATP 500 German Open at Rothenbaum, Hamburg. This involved a completely new field - creating and staging sponsorship packages. Further marketing activities followed: Private Viewing in Hamburg’s HSV stadium during the 2014 football World Cup, the BIG BBQ Festival 2018 & 2019, Scale online fishing magazine since 2016 and World of Movement Festival since 2019. Ben brings all-round sales understanding to sport, leisure, lifestyle and business platforms.
