The Brief:

Every year, the residents of Craigieburn anxiously await the announcement of the star performer for the beloved Craigieburn Festival. This free community event, organized by Hume City Council, is a highlight in their calendars. In the past, the festival has seen renowned acts like Justice Crew and Anthony Callea take the stage. However, this year, Events Officer Chris Alexiou and his dedicated team were determined to raise the bar even higher and secure talent that would leave the crowd in awe.

The Collaboration:

No stranger to using acta to book talent for their events, the Hume City Council events team wasted no time in exploring acta’s talent directory in search of their ideal headliner. After a series of preliminary enquiries, they landed on triple threat entertainer Timomatic. From there, it was business as usual for Chris with the entirety of the booking process from negotiation through to contracts and invoicing being handled on acta without a hitch.

Tim had an absolute blast at the Craigieburn Festival this year. The booking process using acta was smooth and effortless and we’re very much looking forward to receiving more opportunities through the platform in the future. - Alex McDonell (Managing Director - 808 Agency)

The Outcome:

Following a jam-packed day full of roving entertainment, carnival rides, workshops, art shows and more, it was time for the grand finale – Timomatic's headlining set and the annual fireworks show. As expected, his energetic set had the 10,000 strong crowd on their feet from start till finish, providing the day with the perfect close.
