Advantages of ICMI Speakers & Entertainers Explained by Barry Markoff in New Video Produced by Melbourne Video Production
Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) January 16, 2014 -- ICMI Speakers & Entertainers launched a new online video that underscores the benefits of hiring the professional speakers bureau. The clip also aids in enhancing their online presence and credibility.
In the video, Barry Markoff, the managing director of ICMI is interviewed by futurist and marketing speaker Tim Reid.
To open the interview, Reid said, “Every now and then we hear from a conference organizer saying, ‘oh why do I need a speakers bureau…why don’t I go direct and do it myself?’ What do you say to that?” Barry’s quick reply was, “The back-up.”
“We know that things sometimes don’t go exactly the way they’re supposed to go. And earlier this year, one of Australia’s top speakers, a lady called Amanda Stevens was supposed to speak in Brisbane but there were huge winds and storms and the plane was diverted to Rockhampton. She was able to get in touch with us and we were, within an hour, able to organize another speaker that could do a briefing, who did a magnificent job…a guy called Ray Scicluna. So that was ‘the backup’ which you would not get if you went to a speaker directly,” explained Markoff.
“As an organizer you want everything to roll incredibly smoothly; you don’t want surprises; and it would be fair to say that a speakers bureau like ICMI ensure that is the case,” added Tim Reid.
“We do everything from providing the CVs for the speakers, all the bios, all the photos; we do all the travel for you, if you want us to do that; we do the briefings…so nothing is left to chance.
“We do approximately 3,000 engagements a year so everything is coordinated…so it’s a peace of mind. And as a conference organiser I think you want to be comfortable that everything’s gonna go right and with a bureau, that usually happens; I can’t say a hundred percent of the time ‘cause nothing is ever a hundred percent, compared to if you’re just booking a speaker,” Markoff further explained.
