In the interest of blatant self promotion, the following are a stack of testimonials that hopefully will have the following effects:
A] Convince you of my amazing work/life/creative/astrophysical abilities.
B] Overlook the fact that I’m Australian.
C] Not make you too nauseas before you’ve finished reading them.
(recommendation: stop reading as soon as you stat feeling a little woozy or you get the picture).
If you’d like to get in touch with any of these un-fictitious persons please let me know and I’ll pay them some more money before passing on their contact details.
…marcus
Marcus is a dynamic, original, tantalisingly techno-savvy creative who never fails to impress and deliver on the brief…whether its writing, producing, editing, posting and executing the creative, or indeed coming up with an idea for a comedy show, kids channel, record company, fitness client or anything in between.
Kristie Phelan – Creative Director, Southern Hemisphere Nickelodoen
I personally worked closely with Marcus on the creative development and execution of the I Love FOOD Awards 2009. This is Australia's biggest people's choice awards and a huge tentpole for the LifeStyle FOOD Channel. His eye for design and attention to detail ensured the on-air campaign was cut-through and visually stunning. The response to the Awards has been more than four times our previous year and much of that would have to be attributed to the expansive, well received promotional campaign.
Karen Goldhawk - Marketing Director, LifeStyle FOOD Channel
I always look forward to working on a project with marcus. He has great passion, energy, and creativity that make for great results. I use the TVC’s we did together in my showreel as a dop because they’re polished, they work, and they are so damed good!
Ben Dray D.O.P – Shootfirst productions
Marcus is one of the finest editors that I have worked with during the past 10 years. His skill level is phenomenal and when you match it with his passion and compulsion, it ensures that the finished product is always right on the money. I know this as I've worked with him on a spectrum of projects encompassing TV promos, short and long form comedy, action sports and music video. He has a sixth sense for editing and is also a great bloke to have a beer or six with. Just don't let him near the Scotch though! Raucous!

I have had the pleasure of working with Marcus Robb as the Head of Production at Active Media Group for one and a half years. Having him as my manager, I have found him to be loyal, hardworking and and very inspiring. He has a great attention to detail and is very efficient and well organised. He is constantly filled with creative ideas along with practical solutions to any problem. I highly recommend Marcus Robb for any position that he may seek to pursue.
Marcus Chong – Broadcast Designer, Channel Nine Network Australia
I feel confident in declaring Marcus one of the most resourceful and imaginative media producers that I have had the pleasure of working with in the field. Marcus has a reputation not only for designing promotional campaigns to reach the most challenging of demographics in inventive, original ways but also for creating unique, exciting long form content. Marcus' driven work ethic is second only to his immutable personality and infectious optimism which makes working with Marcus as much a personal pleasure as it is a professional one.
Luke Howlin - Broadcast Service Manager, XYZ networks
Thanks again Marcus for all the great work. Your guidance and clear vision has allowed this piece to truely shine! Look forward to working with you again soon.
Josh Wermut - Creative Director, Sonicom Productions
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Marcus. He is professional, witty and a stunningly good communicator committed to peace on the planet. Contact me if you want to know more.
Roz Townsend - Author
Professionally, Marcus is at the top of his game. He is creative in his writing and graphics, and his overall vision is to the point, and always humorous. More importantly, I believe, is that personally he is such a pleasure to work with. He is supportive, understanding, patient and always shows respect. I highly recommend working with Marcus Robb.
Zoe Sheridan – Voice Over Artist, RMK
I have worked with Marcus Robb over a 4 year period, during that time Marcus proved himself as a creative asset and a leader in his field. He consistently delivered on briefs and is the driving force behind creative ideas and concepts.
Josh Rockman - Managing Director, Rockmans Creative Media
Not only did Marcus make great promos, but he added a wonderful calming effect to the whole team. His (some might say ridiculously) optimistic nature rubbed off on every producer there, and he will be sorely missed.
Cormac Monaghan - Senior Producer, The Lifestyle Channel
Marcus and I are good friends and most of all he is a great bloke. I am sure you will enjoy his conversation and company, as much as I have, and have no doubt that you will also become friends as he is one of the most down to earth people I know Marcus does a lot of video production stuff, if you require a director etc for your local shoots or a video editing man, he is definitely your guy and i highly recommend him.
