About Maz

If you’ve watched it,
MAZ probably made it.

If you’ve watched it, I probably made it and won an award for it - every ratings juggernaut you’ve watched from five series of Big Brother (the controversial years), to Dancing With The Stars, The X Factor, The Celebrity Apprentice, The Farmer Wants A Wife and I was one of the creators of the long running current affairs show, Q&A on the ABC.


The numbers on my speed dial are head spinning and diverse - Scary Spice Mel B, David Hasselhoff, Usher, Ronan Keating, Guy Sebastian, Kelly Rowland, Jason Derulo, Manu Fiedel, Julia Morris, Mark Bouris, Fitzy, Pauline Hanson, and many many more.

Worked for BBC UK, ITV, Channel 4 & Sky in the UK & the ABC, Nine, Seven, Ten, Foxtel & BBC World Wide, in Australia.

 
 

As an expert in Entertaining Content, I live on both sides of the camera & was a regular panelist on Tom Ballard’s ABC show, Reality Check.

I started life as a magazine journalist & stylist in London, and Absolutely Fabulous was based on my agent – it feels like a documentary to me- why the laughter?

I’ve since had a variety of smart corner offices as Executive Editor of Format Entertainment at the BBC UK London, Director of Television Content, Fremantle Media Australia, Director of the award winning, Media Tribe, Australia, Creative Strategist at BBC WorldWide and Executive Producer of Megastar, an international online talent show based in San Francisco. I now run Absolutely Farrelly, a company which specialises in creative content, training & strategy around engagement.

I believe that all business is show business, and to cut through in this listening-deficient society, you have to deliver the triple Es - Entertainment, Engagement & Emotion. Nail them & you’ll rock it.
