The Brief:

Each year, Hyundai hosts an exclusive event to celebrate the remarkable achievements of a select group of dealer principals. This prestigious gathering provides the perfect environment for recognising the hard work and dedication of Hyundai’s top performers in Australia.

In addition to the anticipated evening, Hyundai invites a guest of honour to speak and provide some light entertainment to the attendees throughout the evening.

The Collaboration:

CBD Group’s event manager Sophie Nelson was responsible for organising Hyundai's event and turned to acta to find their perfect speaker. With a clear indication to feature a sporting legend at the dinner, Sophie found a plethora of options using acta’s talent directory.

This led to an enquiry for Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative five-eighth, Matthew Johns, which was swiftly negotiated and contracted within a matter of days.

My first time using acta to secure Matthew a booking and it couldn’t have been simpler. A really exciting prospect for all talent! - Trish Johns (Talent Manager)

The Outcome:

Held in the luxurious Opal Suite at the Crown in Sydney, guests were thrilled to hear Matty Johns share stories and answer questions about his illustrious career. It was a memorable evening where attendees not got to spin a yarn with Rugby League royalty but also celebrate Hyundai's top-performing dealers of the year.

All talent in one directory and receiving responses directly from their team within hours, what’s not to love? - Sophie Nelson (Events Manager, The CBD Group)
