Stephen McIvor MC/Entertainer Profile

FIRN Partner Day Out
Last week Stephen emceed an all-day corporate event for FIRN Analytics Ltd, this annual event, is known as FIRN Partner Day Out. It was held in central Auckland and guests comprised over 100 data and analytics professionals. Stephen introduced eight speakers and a panel discussion, filling between each with spot prizes and promotions as briefed. He also introduced representatives from seven sponsoring companies and conversed with our keynote speaker to add value to her story.
Stephen kept the day to the timetable despite the challenges of several shorter-than-expected presentations. He was a warm and engaging host, demonstrating a seasoned professional ability to ad-lib as required and bring audience members out of their shells. I can recommend him if you are looking to add style and some professional ‘zing’ to your corporate event.

A consummate professional broadcaster. The guy you want in front of the camera when everything else going wrong around you! I can't remember the event - NBA Basketball, or Football or something coming in from the other side of the world - and it just wasn't! "No feed Stephen - TALK! - I'll type the graphics!" Man oh man - 10 mins later the feed suddenly appeared and we were away. I bought him a well deserved coffee. Incredible guy in a crisis!

Vodafone - This is your Life - Oct 2018
Thank you for a brilliant performance on the This Is Your Life gig. You brought real value to every step of the production. Here’s the things I most appreciated...
1. You really cared about the script and brought a sharp editorial eye to it. Your experience made a reall difference here.
2. You were thoughtful and collaborative in the editorial process, which, as a writer I particularly appreciated.
3. You were exceptionally professional on all the fundamentals and nothing was ever a problem.
4. At the rehearsal/teamtalk meeting you put all the guests at ease and made them feel important. You also have them a sense of Confidence that you would look after them and make them look good
5. We then went on to deliver a full on show with 8 live guests, 15 video guests, and a tonne of media cues WITH NO ON STAGE REHEARSAL. Not even a cue to cue walk through. Just total trust in all the team delivering their part. You can do that with a bunch of people who have worked together a lot. But we have never done a show together. That just tells me what a focused, experienced, professional you are!! Huge respect to you
6. The show went over time, but never dragged. You kept guests on point without ever embarrassing them. You nailed the mix of free styling and script following perfectly. You got the balance of sparkle and gravitas just right. And you just have the whole show a sense of polished show biz class.
7. And the icing on the cake. The stand out big hit... you talked a couple of teenage boys into delivering a heartfelt speech to their father in front of a room full of strangers. Those boys had made up their mind to NOT TALK on stage. And you just didn’t accept it. You worked those boys brilliantly with a combination of gentle encouragement, making it feel safe, and helping them see the importance of the opportunity. It was genius. And obviously it was the clincher for the gig. It made all the difference to RUSSELL and made the whole show shine. So THANK YOU !!
It was a pleasure Mr. McIvor

Steve was the MC for the Supercars 2018 ITM Auckland launch. He was brilliant to work with. Kept the event on time and could even say my surname correctly (would you believe that seems to be harder than you might think). Thanks again Steve.
